I'd tell you if I knew, but we didn't open our doors until late April.

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

People play more on weekends not less, but they are not concentrated that much during evening hours.

No matter how many people play on fri/sat those nights are still great because of the % of players that have been drinking. It's not really about the total #.

Thank you all for posting and I wanted to know if you all agree with this general consensus:

-In terms of volume for the entire day: Saturday and Sunday has the most players. However, they are generally spread throughout the day and evening.
-Friday down to Monday has most users in that order. However, Monday up to Friday has the most concentrated players during the “Peek Hours.”
-“Peek Hours” can generally be defined as between 10:30 PM – 2:00 AM EST.
-Friday and Saturday nights are the fishiest nights because of the fact that many people are playing intoxicated.
-Poker Site Scout is a great place to get up-to-date information on the number of players broken down by game and limit. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

If anyone disagrees or has any other observations PLEASE post them.

I have two issues with that statement. First, many sites have a mostly European player base, including Microgaming/Prima network, CryptoLogic network, PokerRoom/Ongame network, International/Boss Media network, B2B network, Tribeca network, Pacific, iPoker network, Everest, Tain network and Ladbrokes. All of those sites tend to have their peak around 2 pm Pacific/5 pm Eastern.

The more American-centered sites tend to have their peak around 8 pm Pacific/11 pm Eastern, which is near the front end of your range. I'd say the peak hours in terms of traffic are more like 8 pm - 1 am Eastern. The peak hours for drunken playing may be a bit later than that. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Oh, and if we're going to be nitpicky, it's EDT at this point, not EST.
