Best time of day to play

[Klak]

whats the best tine of day to play online games? when are there generally more fish than pros on?

[MasterShake]

I have found evenings during the week and anytime on the weekend to be the best.

ditto

Also - when you're feeling physically and mentally good. It doesn't do much good to be playing at the best time if it's not the best time for you.

[joker122]

Yep.

[The Dude]

BTW, "evening" more in terms of Eastern time.

My Personal Favorite is late night on a Friday or Saturday.

If you find a good drunk Fish, you can take many many dollars off of him in a short time.

I haven't explored this myself, but I've heard from several pros that 4-5 am central is a great time to play. This is because of Scandanavian players who are super LAGy.

[scottjack]

i can vouch for this; i've had several profitable sessions playing early AM, central time. I noticed a lot of Russians playing, as well as Scandinavians.

My winrates closely resemble the pokerpulse.com charts. I'm in negative BB/100 the times they are below 5,000 (early morning, also my smallest sample size).

Are you sure you or your pro friends aren't mixing up the geografy because I sometimes see players make a comment to players that they think is Scandinavian who actually isn't anywhere near Scandinavia. They base their guess on the fact that the player has a location that doesn't sound "english" and immediatly pin him/her Scandinavian.

4am-5am central is nowhere near when most scandinavian players are online. 4-5 am central is like 11am-noon local time in Scandinavia and most people are at work????. When home from work I have sometimes played in this time slot and I sure don't see as many scandinavians as I do later on the day.

Most scandinavian players play something like 11am-4pm central which is 6pm-11pm in Scandinavia.

What am I supposed to do? I woke up at 8am and I want to play poker but I'd imagine it's highly unprofitable. *argh*

I guess I could go work out . . . or go back to sleep. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Is this serious?

[AncientPC]

I probably wouldn't do it even if he was serious, as being up at 4-5am would mess up my sleep cycle pretty bad. Also, if I do stay up that late I'm so tired / sleepy that I play a horrible game.
