Default Hours/Month to play?

What's a good amount or average amount of hours most people who actually play as a means of income play per month?

Ideally 20 hrs/wk of multi-tabling is probably best for me.

I tend to play a lot more than that during rough patches, up to 30 or 40 hrs/wk at the very max. This just makes me stressed and makes my play decline.

It's not like a regular job, and it shouldn't be. A normal guy works 40hrs/wk, but honestly they're only very busy and working hard for a fraction of that, with frequent breaks (even small ones), and the stress level is generally far lower.

Yeah, I'm just tryin to get a general idea. I played a little over 65 hours in April, and I wasn't sure if this was below "normal". Thanks for the input though.

I play anywhere from 15 to 20 hours per week. Once you get past 100$/hour, unless you really want lots of highly priced material stuff, such as awesome cars and etc., you really don't have to play a lot to make a good living.

I play 30-45 hours per week.

When I first turned "pro" I played like 20 per week, but my tolerance/ability to play longer stretches has just slowly increased over time.
