How many hands do you play per month. If it's anything less than 50,000, feel free to give an explanation as to why you play the amount that you play.

I suggest answering in the following format:

1. # hands played/mo.

2. game/stakes that you play

3. any additional information that you deem as helpful in explaining your work-load/habits.

50K hands is a lot. I think very few members of this forum could actually get over that 50K mark. Also, there are different ways to get there. I was 10 tabling the party 3/6 full for a while, and 50K was nothing. Then i started 8 tabling the 3/6 6m. With each step up, ive subtracted a table to improve play. Now, ive moved off the party network and am one tabling a higher stakes game and making more money playing fewer hands.

I'm constantly at 40k per month. I'd like to boost it to 60k, but I fall short every time. Oh well...I've just moved to 6 max, so you'd think that would help. It does....I work less now. Oh yeah....I'm 2/4 and below. I'm a rake/bonus whore. I like playing when loveline is on.

I don't play weekends much.

I played about 60k last month... but i usually play about 30kish per month.
limits anywhere from .50-1.00 to 5-10 once in awhile I'll play 10-20, but very rarely. to play 60k I was playing over 60 hours per week.

in an average month i probably play around 15,000 hands

usually play 30/60 but sometimes 20/40, 15/30, 10/20, 50/100, 100/200

regarding my work habits, i just don't enjoy poker that much. it's too much like work. who the hell can sit in front of a computer for 8 hours a day (says the man with 10,000+ posts) but seriously i would go insane. i tell myself that i should play more hands, make more money.. but i just can't do it. i would rather enjoy life.

it's true, money ain't [censored].

Try getting a real 9 to 5 job and then you'll see what real work is like.

It consists of 80% non-work. You talk to coworkers, idle at the coffee machine, and you're not facing a salary deduction if you take a loooong dump.

I'm reaching the conclusion that online poker is more like work than work was. For reference I was a programmer, and we had plenty of pre-release crunches. Even during those I worked less in a 12 hour day than I do in a 6 hour poker day. Way less.

100-150k a month, 30/60 now, and 50/100 and 1/2 when it looks good. I'm a full time student too. Needless to say I don't have many friends or get out much.

8hrs per day x 8 tables = 64 table hrs per day.
64 x 50 hands per hour = 3200 hands per day.
3200 hands per day x 30 days = 96000 hands per month.

wow. you are either my hero or a liar. also, with the kind of roll needed to play those limits, why are you in school unless its just for personal satisfaction?

I think you might have answered your own question on if he is a liar or a hero.
