My stats over the last 3677 tournaments by 4-hour time blocks
 

I thought this might be interesting to some. I know there was a thread on this sometime ago, but I figure another data point can't hurt.
Time are EST.
Tournaments were played at $11s (10%), $20s (70%), $30s (20%), and $50s (10%).
I realize this sample size isn't very large, but the trend is so pronounced that I'd be very surprised if variance alone accounts for it.

NOON-4PM: 647 tournaments, 4% ROI, 36% ITM

4PM-8PM: 1097 tournaments, 11% ROI, 39% ITM

8PM-MIDNIGHT: 1107 tournaments, 17% ROI, 40% ITM

MIDNIGHT-4AM: 753 tournaments, 13% ROI, 39% ITM

wow, thx for the info.

Well it reflects the general opinion of the forum, although I'm hoping the cause of that 4% ROI is variance (this is $22, daytime can't be much tougher??).

I usually work a few hours somewhere between 10am-4pm here. That's 6pm-midnight ET [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

U.S. East (Coast) Standard Time. I think we're 6 hours behind GST.

Is there similar discussion with cash games (small stakes hold'em in particular). If there is, can anyone give me a link to it. Still haven't figured out the search feature hehe.
I haven't played too many hands off my peak hours, which is 8pm-2am EST, but in the games that I did play during daytime, I noticed substantially less attractive games and tougher competition. I don't have any data to back it up. Just saying I noticed a difference from my small sample size.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but just because my noon-4pm ROI is 4%, it definitely doesn't follow that a smart monkey couldn't have 20%.
