Default Better time to play when working second shift

I work 3:30 to midnight, and this job has absolutely killed my volume. I leave before the sites get busy and get home after fish get sleepy.

So, rather that actually play some SNGs and figure it out for myself, what's conventional wisdom say on the relative softness of $22-$33 level games at 1pm vs. 1am? I'm off my game and I miss poker.

12am-2am has some pretty soft games. Right around 2 is when most of the fish start leaving but the games are still pretty soft because most of the decent multitablers are leaving too.

12pm-3pm is beatable but has a slightly higher multitabler to fish ratio than at peak times and the fish arent as horrible as the fish at peak times. IE they are still too loose at all times and dont push enough, but they aren't as willing to stack off with top pair garbage kicker and things of that nature.

So it was 3 minutes of awkwardness followed by 35 minutes of crying and apologizing?

Edit: Ilya is two minutes more clever than I am.

Thanks for the advice.

Also, if you're blackize on Stars, I drunkenly played some 6.5s with you a few days ago. You need to pay attention to when people are sitting out, it went me-you-disconnected for most of one game and you let me pwn that dude's blinds. One time you openfolded the guy's blind back.

35 minutes of crying and apologizing, followed by a sex craving 18 year old calling you every 30 minutes for the next 3 years... (still haunted by this..)

a better example would have been having sex w/ a 35 year old porn star... (female)...
