Find the online games are much tougher late at night

[betgo]

Usually games are supposed to be easier late at night EDT and tougher in the morning. I find the reverse is true and $200NL is very sodt in the morning and very tought late at night. At least my style of play gets crushed late at night.

I find the opposite to be true, at least at 100NL.

I find more Drunks are on at night and therefore more times you see hands which nits fold.

Is this possibly somewhat site dependant?

I can usually beat the game through aggression, but this doesn't work late at night. My loose reraises get 4-bet. When I try to float, people follow up with big turn bets. If I raise a bunch of limpers, I get called and raised on the flop.

OP and I play at Stars.

I love the smell of Full Tilt in the morning!

25NL on Stars in the morning (ET, US) is loaded with loose gamblers from Germany and the Netherlands. Most of these guys have LAA numbers and a lot of them are ATM's.

I find that by 5-6 pm ET the games are considerably harder to beat for a good rate; most of my gain comes from small pots here. It gets better late, but I play very little late at night anymore (early riser).

Then there's Saturday. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

(only ~11K hands of NL for me so far)

I tend to find that games during the afternoon (eastern time) are easily beatable but not for a high rate of return. This is because they are generally very passive and tight, so not a lot of big pots are played without the nuts. I experience a lot more variance playing on Friday/Saturday nights but is more profitable on net.

best games in the world are at 2 in the morning, so im not sure if thats early or late. at this point all the drunks, insomniacs, and regs who are too tired to think are playing.

once about 9 o clock hits the games get kinda [censored]. now at about 12 they seem to loosen up a bit... i think that is due to the poeple who should be working but decided to play poker instead of doing their job.

this continues untill about 2 (when the bosses catches them) from about2-6 the game is very calm and simple.

at about 6or 7 the afterwork fish get out their credit card, and deposit whatever they are comfortable losing that evening. this phenomenon is intensified on friday and saturdays for these reasons....people are bored.... people just got paid so they consider a little fun money not a big deal......they are degenerate morons.......they have aspirations of becoming a world champions, if only they could find people who respected their raises.

from this time till about 3 in the morning, id say that the games are the best, sooo early and late is my answer.
