How many SnG's do you play a day?

[vindikation]

Sorry if this has been asked before, but how many SnG's do you play on an average day?

[Blackjack]

I play about 25 1000$ SNGs on party a day...

Just kidding - I'm starting to get back into the SNG swing of things and planning on 8 tabling the 30s.

If I can grab a 30% ROI, I'll move up after 500 SnGs.

I think about 40 SnGs a day is doable for me.

I only play 2 or 3 on days that I work. And about 6 or 7 on my off days.

[microbet]

4-8 a night on nights I play.
Soon I will move from two tabling to four tabling (getting a higher res. monitor) and should double that.

[ZebraAss]

About 10 on a school day. During the weekend up to 40 a day.

[Turk]

Between 10-20

[SuitedSixes]

10 a day.

[pokerraja]

only about 10 lately.

[eastbay]

8 to 12 4-tabling on days that I play, which isn't every day.

I'm planning to start playing 25-35 each day sometime this week. Been playing about 10 a day the days I've played so far.

[byronkincaid]

bout 50ish.

[Mr_J]

How many tables, 6-8?

[byronkincaid]

4 atm planning on getting 2nd dell asap.

[Mr_J]

50ish is alot then. Sounds like its 8-9 hours of work.

[vindikation]

Playing so many a day, does it ever get boring, repetative and mechanical?

I don't play for a living, but I was off work yesterday and played 6 and felt totally burned out afterwards. I guess I'm just weak /images/graemlins/tongue.gif.

I think this is very player dependent question. It just depends on how many hour everybody has playing poker * the number of tables they play.
mine is 10-20 on weekdays 20-50 weekends if I play. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Unarmed]

Gad I miss being in university...
I get in maybe 10 per week if I'm lucky.

[El Maximo]

I agree with rachel. This depends on the what type of poker player you are. I think there are pros, semi-pros, and casual players that frequent this forum. Im just a casual player. Lucky if I get in 15 hours a week at the tables. I imagine the full-time pros crank out more sngs in a week than I play in 2 months.

[The once and future king]

You have just made me feel very lazy.

Though I imagine having a little mouth to feed is a great motivator.

[Scuba Chuck]

I am willing to bet that you are "burned out" because you are not having some sort of progress (read success here). That progress could be through winning and moving to higher buyins, increased earnings power, knowing that you are moving closer to some sort of goal - like B&M NL tournaments. What are your poker goals?

If none of the above is true, you are probably not a poker player. That would explain your burnout.

I am a happy dude if I can get 3-4 hours of poker in a day. I average about 3 to 3.5 SNGs and hour two tabling.
My goal is to play 200+ SNGs a month. December I pounded out 350! /images/graemlins/cool.gif

[PE101]

Thanks for this post. I was beginning to think that I'm a total wimp!

I get in about 10-12 a week.

[byronkincaid]

Yeah but I've gone down a couple of levels this month. I'm just trying to work out the best way to maximise my hourly income. It may well be that I should go back to 2/3 tabling the 50s.

It's benholio and stupid sucker who made me think, I think they play far more games than me. I'll probably try something different every month until I can work out what's best.

[/ QUOTE ]I'm still a casual player too - in fact I hadn't played at all from early November until this past weekend. My goal this year is to play consistently without disrupting the rest of my life away from the computer, which means maybe 15 SNGs and 1 or 2 600-player MTT/week. That's a $100/week entertainment investment for me, and if I play well enough then that'll fund a long weekend in Vegas in December.

My job is good enough that the idea of even playing as a side business (which to me is 20 hours a week 4-tabling $30+3s) isn't realistic. I'm playing poker to relax and exercise my mind and my competitive spirit, not to stress out - for that I can go to work... /images/graemlins/smile.gif

One or two, on the nights that I do play.

[raptor517]

be careful about burning out. it is all too easy to do. im in college and work at a poker club most nights. during one month i played about 30 sngs a day 4 tabling. every day. sure enough, after that month was over, i never wanted to touch another sng. i recently started back up, and i plan to go a LITTLE bit slower, maybe playing about 32 or so on 8 tables /images/graemlins/wink.gif

[1C5]

Just started but I just got a nice new Dell monitor so the 4 tabling will be starting soon enough...

[Gramps]

Was replying to this last night when the power in SF went out - doh! Good thing Party/Empire was down, I had just started 4 SNGs on Stars at a lower buy-in than I normally play - saved quite a bit in $$ that Party/Empire picked last night to do maintenance.

I play about 750/month - take about 7-10 days off, so typically 30-40 on days I play 4-tabling. When I first started SNGs, there's no way I could do that many, the emotional toll they took was too great. Able to "ho-hum" things a lot better now. Takes a while to get into that ho-hum mode after stepping up a level I've found though (getting used to playing higher stakes).

And it doesn't hurt to be a "games nerd" when it comes to doing high volume.

[Myst]

I 8-table the $55s, 4 hours a day / 5 days a week.
