Playing SNGs is better at night...... or is it???

[abuljooj]

According to many a post, it is more profitable to play STT at night time. I'm not disagreeing with this because i have indeed found it more profitable, however, i feel that because of this, most of the pros have chosen to play later at night, leaving the afternoon 1 to 5 pm games pro"less" and hence easier to beat. Does anybody else see this trend happening??

Whatever your answers are, my answer to you is "I don't know," but the site(s) and buy-in level(s) you are talking about would probably be helpful here...

yeah, generally, i find more pros play at night to get their fair share of the fishes. BUT, the number of fishes at night also increases (greatly moreso than the increase in pros) , therefore the overall effect is a dilution of the competition. so yeah, i play at night mostly, but that works with my college schedule anyhow.

$1 buyin to find where the pros are.

It's not the absence of pros that should concern you. It's the absence of fish.

I feel like the best time to play is from Friday late afternoon until late Sunday.

I think the play is slightly easier say at mdinight-3am eastern Mon-Thur but when the change becomes dramatic is the weekend, which like previously mentioned is the arrival of new fish. It's just like Vegas you can beat the game through the weekdays but it's a slower pace and you see the same people but on Friday night it's like they air drop a load of dumb in the city for 3 days and you don't want to sleep, or is it just me?

saaaaaaaaaample size?

[madbeetz]

shhhh.. Ive actually found the same to be true, early mornings to early evenings have by far been the easiest and most profitable... but please contonie playing at night, still tons of fish.

Heres two hands that make me think the play at night can't be that much worse than the day play:
