College Students, how much do you play during school?

dibbs · #1 09-13-2005, 01:20 AM

Just curious really, as I don't know yet how much I'll even be able to get in this year, and wondering how much others do.

How many hours or hands do you get in a week during the school year? I'm mainly curious about students with upper level courses, seminars, internships and all that, but either way.

Thanks.

Yeah I'm in the same boat, I spend about 10 hours a week in class, 2 hours a week doing school work (MAYBE), and 4 nights a week at the bar. I find its easy to get in 25 hours a week, 30+ if I really feel like it. I am not looking forward to graduating and having to get a real job...

Ok but seriously, 15 hours/week should do.

I would LIKE to get 20 hours a week. But 15 is more realistic.

i'm in law school and I try to get in around 5-10 hours a week or about 10k-15k hands.

My play varies a ton depending on what is going on. If I have a moot court or mock trial comp, some bs thing for law review, or something like that. I'm also a research assistant now so that cuts into my PT as well. I also am a 3L though and only have 3 classes and an intership so that lightens my load a bit.

Really you just need to balance your time and never sacrifice school for poker...just not worth it in the long run. Know when you have time and when you do not. You really should not base your time against anyone else b/c everyone has different schedules.
