How often do you find yourself playing

edited November 2009 in Poker Chat

just wondered how regular you all are to Sky poker, I've played 2 tournaments today and 3 yesterday aswell as numerous cash games(Only for small stakes)

What I'd like to ask is how often do you play and what is a typical poker session for you.

Also do you/have you played poker at other sites, I've played party poker in the past when I had a slow internet connection but now I have HS broadband can't see myself playing any other site the Sky poker, I like the fact that all the players are British and in the short time I've been here can already see how friendly and welcoming the site is

    I used to play alot more often (daily), but since iv got a chat ban (doh!!) I find it alot less enjoyable..Also got CoD;Modern Warfare which tends to take up most of my free/wasting time. Now its maybe once or twice a week if that.

    I play low stakes also so I play most days also for a couple of hours..... I've been playing DYM sit n go's but a few people recomended I try deepstacks to get myself more comfortable playing in bigger tournaments (The MTT'S).
    Yes everyone is also very friendly, I didn't actually introduce myself in the introduce thread but everyone has been welcoming nonetheless!

    Well.

    My firefox puts priority (Or sites most visited at the top).

    And well hmmm im sort of a facebooker, and Sky Poker website is above facebook, on the list and at the top.

    As for tournies used just play till i got bored, whether it be freerolls or cash.

    grind on the mind.

    About 5 hours a day, alternating between 4 tabling 6m and 2 tabling HU SnG's at the moment.

    Of an evening I usually play in the 7pm Deepstack and then double up with the 8pm game, bankroll permitting.  During the day I used to play in the Bounty Hunters but this month I have started playing DYM STT games at the £10 level.

    Im afriad to say very little on sky poker.....the trouble is....sky is not keeping up with the traffic!

    There are so many more ...more appealing sites out there now ...most are dowloadable....in particularly keen on flash player poker...

    Freerolls on other site are genuinly free, although some charge a fee!

    I have to say im a bit of a poker parasite, in that, because ive lost a bit over the yrs ...im reluctant to deposit! I do however use this site as the feedback from other players about poker philosophy's and stragergies, and apply that where ever im playing!...

    If sky were a bit more generous, i would play here more ...and as you will know ...most freeroll cash is recycled back into the site...so whats the big deal about offering freerolls that are realy free!

    Depends on social life really, if I didn't have a GF then i'd be all day every day :S

    As it is on avergae I rekon 3 hours a day per week, still living as a student playing £2.20 scarys and taking about £30 p/w off the site. Not much and a poor wage per hours but I enjoy it..

    About 4 hours a day, 3 days a week, maybe 4 then the odd weekend or evening game if I find the time.

    On the forums loads though, you can pop in or out for literally 2 minutes.

    I play 95% DYM as I find cash too slow and I can't generally do a MTT because of time constraints. I can only usually guarantee an hour at a time to play, but can do this 3 or 4 times in a day.

    Started a couple of weeks ago on a few deepies during the day, but found I would have to go to pick up Cerby from school, usually, at the bubble.

    Curse my child! Never have kids guys. I need to win at poker just to keep him in 'fruit shoots.'
