Default Game trends / time of day

Anyone noticed any perticular time of day (or day of the week for that matter) being softer than other times and days?

Sure, 8 PM EST-2:30 AM EST is typically the softest the games will be, since the most amount of players (IE Drunk players) are on the tables.

This is true on Fridays x3.

Agreed, except the part about Friday might be a bit of an exaggeration.

Over my winter break, I pretty much played poker full time. Games during the day were much tougher than the ones I played at night. I would generally play all night, sometimes up until 7 or 8 in the morning (CDT), but during the day, the players were much better. I would say the difference has more to do with better players than people being drunk (tho that might account for something). The difference was just too great.

As a UK player, this means that I have never played at the juciest times! No wonder the 3/6 games seem tight.

Does this mean that UK pros should aim to play between 01:00 and 07:30 GMT?

This is what I've always thought too. During the recent US Poker Championship on ESPN I saw John Dagostino say he gets up at 3am and plays til mid morning, sleeps awhile then plays during the hours above. I haven't played much during these early morning times, anyone have any experience then?

This is also the time that the vast majority of professional multitablers play. I've found some really good games between 11 AM and 3 PM Pacific time. The total number of seats being filled isn't is high as during primetime, but a lot of that has to do with the lack of multitablers.

If you want to play against UK fish, you want to play US afternoons.
