What are the peak times/peak days for online poker???
 

I haven't been playing poker online for that long and everytime I log on there seems to be either a lot of players or not many at all. I've seen some people talk about "Peak" times for play and was was wondering what time that was. Also, does it vary depending on what day of the week? What about differnt cites (I usually play at Pacific BTW)? Any observations would be helpful, thanx.

To see the peak times/days for a site, click on the site and look for the "Site History."

FWIW, I play between 10.30pm ET (3.30am BST in the UK) and finish up around 2.30 am ET (7.30am UK); but I'll hang around the computer for another 2 hours picking off one or two fishy tables. I find about 11pm ET that Stars hits >100k

The best nights are (of course) Friday and Saturday. Sunday is next best, then Thursday down to Monday backwards respectively.

This is purely experiential and speculative.

Pacific should be good all the time but better on those days and peak times!

So hijack, do people think the games noticeably soften *before* 10.30 ET and I'm giving up some fishing time?

Actually, if you go by peak cash game players, Saturday night is the worst night of the week, followed by Friday and Sunday. The best night of the week, believe it or not, is Monday, with about 18% more peak players than Saturday.

Here are the average peak players over the last several weeks at Party and Stars.

Day Stars Party

Sun 8595 12549
Mon 9265 13899
Tue 9166 13467
Wed 9113 13291
Thu 9053 13601
Fri 8413 12901
Sat 7841 11740

Weekends have more players at off-peak times, though.

So...you're saying...that...that...normal people have things to do on the weekends other than play poker? I'm not sure I understand. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

It seems like this may be seasonal.

What are the averages for winter months?
