I'm hoping someone has done some research into this matter, I did a search of the forum and didn't see anything come up.

Long story short what I'm concluding here is that there are specific times of days and days of the week where one game would be better than another to play based on who is playing at that specific time of day / day of the week. This of course would correlate to a person's base playing style, or the playing style that they are most comfortable with. Some players can say for instance switch gears from tight aggressive to loose aggressive but feel more comfortable playing tight aggressive and therefore cannot maintain a loose aggressive demeanor for more than x amount of time before reverting back.

For instance: Friday and Saturday nights at say 10 PM PST would have more inebriated college students playing online than say a Tuesday at 6 PM PST so basic theory will state that Fridays and Saturdays would have looser tables based specifically on the fact that more players are inebriated.

Based on that assumption, I believe that cash games would be more profitable than sit n go tournaments simply due to the fact that you can re-buy back in to a cash game.

Also, due to time zone differences country A may contain a larger collection of say loose or tight players than country B so it may be more advisable for a player with a certain style to sit down when country A comprises a larger collection of players at the table than when country B is playing.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Online, the best games are usually between 6-12PM US Time during the week, and slightly later during week-ends. The best day is Saturday/Sunday.
The ultimate best time is Saturday evening/night.
That's simply because it's the peak times for the websites (This is for US sites)
Saturday evening is best due to drunk people.

For euro sites it's the same but European time.

wow i can honestly say..that i had never looked at it in depth like that. I dont know about the whole drunk inebriated college students thing..but it sounds like a valid point

I've thought about this.

I live in Australia and my best sessions have been from 11am - 4pm during the day. We are +10GMT, so America is about 16hrs behind us, meaning it's like 7pm-12pm there. I think I also play better during the day as I'm less prone to tilt and can play more patiently.

Playing at night time, I've been playing 6-max tables and had 2xsupernova, 2xsilverstars at a 6-max table... plus being on late night tilt = baddddd

Time of day doesn't matter. Somewhere in the world it is beer o'clock. Best days though are definitely from Friday - Monday.

I used to think like 5pm-8pm New York time was unbearable to play. Lately, though, I can't find anytime to be bad on FTP at least.

On stars and tilt it doesn't really matter what time of day your playing to find fish and drunk people. From 10am-6pm central your going to find a lot more mass tabling regs though.

its all what u feel most comfortable with. if ur a 9-5er then ur only times are 6pm-12. if ur not time restricted its when u have the most energy so thats on your schedule. the only times i went positive it seemed tho was 2-4 pm eastern.. so 8-10 in europe and early AM eastern(when people are wastered)

Your location states you are in San Francisco???

You should be going to Lucky Chances after work and during the weekends.

The 1/2NL there is pretty soft. A strong ABC TAG line is all you need.

I play on two networks...

i play on ipoker during the day. 10am - 6pm PST is peak time there. If I want to play at night, I play on Merge. Best times there is 7pm - 12am IMO.

I find Friday and Saturday to be the best times to play. Sundays is tourney day so the games are usually pretty reg filled.

18:00 to 22:00 French Timezone is when most of the French and Italians are playing. Sometimes you can get 3-4 of them at the table. French time is six hours ahead of Eastern Timezone so Noon to 4 PM for me.

Sarturday night!!!!

Play, play and play. Drinking a little and laugh a lot and feeling hot with the game, play untill midnight! If you win, you will have a beautiful Sunday to spend your money. If you lose, you will have a nice Sunday to sleep well.

The worst time to play is 6AM-12PM EST. Everything else is okay.
