Best time to play online poker?

What time do you guys find are most profitable online? After dinner? late at night? I guess i am assuming in terms of Eastern Time as I live in New York. Also Fri night and saturday night? What about saturday and sunday during the day? Does anyone noticed looser games/increased win rate during any particular times?

Good question but hard to answer in a close to zero sum game [img]/forums/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

If you are good then any time there are games running is a good time. And games run all the time [img]/forums/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Same as fishing - when you can.

Would you be interested in some sort of graph of win rates at different times/days of the week? - Tony

Tony, your data has proved invaluable time and again, something like this would be amazing.

Try to avoid business hours, thats when the full time players play. Evenings and weekends are prime time, especially when there is a promotion going on at said site (deposit bonuses are good because they send emails to all their players who have lost their money and encourage them to redeposit [img]/forums/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Nah, there are plenty of european fishies around to make up for the slightly higher percentage of good US players during US business hours. And let's not forget all of the retirees in this country..

Well, i live in Israel, and being 7-10 hours ahead of the states is sometimes pretty cool. My best sessions have consistently been on weekend afternoons IE 11am - 3pm my time wich is in the weeee early morning hours in the states. Traffic is a little down, but I think it is worth it because of "compulsive gambler man" who is just barely holding on to consciousness so he doesnt have to "go to sleep a loser"...

There are three times when I have found it is very profitable to play.
1. During promotions
2. During promotions
3. During promotions

Why? Because of the overlay and because it brings out the fishiest of the fish.
