Default Re: Fatigue and length of play time

Many commented above the playing hours in a row. Roughly, no more than 6 to 8 hours, recommended.

How about maximum weekly hours and maximum monthly hours?

My understanding is 25 weekly hours and 100 monthly hours.

Any suggestions?

Are you a pro? I can't imagine playing those kind of hours/week or hours/month and maintain any kind of personal balance and work a job.

If you're a professional, you're going to have to be able to play more than that IMO. If you're a pro, you're essentially a small business owner. To be successful, you're going to have to really work at it. I would think that if you can't play effectively for 40 hrs/week every week that you won't make it.

I am not a pro, however, I have vacation for a month or two every year. Therefore, I am interested in maximal playing hours.

Many says that 25~30 hours are recommended and no more than 40 every week. Playing more than 40 hours a week may reduce outcomes, although nobody can say for sure.

Depends if your talking about a live pro or just a poker pro in general, most cash games pros I know rarely play more than 30 hours a week.
