Best time to play

Most of us are probably constrained to play poker at certain times because of the other silly things in our lives like work, school etc. However, I was just wondering if anybody finds any certain time or day of the week better to play. I guess what I'm wondering is if you think the quality of competition differs at differnt times of the day. Are there times when there are proportionally more fish at the cash tables? Are there times when the players in freerolls are better or worse than others? I'd be curious to hear from anyone, but particularly from people who have been around the block a bit and play for cash online.

I always found in the past, on the sites that have a higher non-american player bases, that it is best to play during their prime-time. The fish playing during prime-time hours. American players are no better so play during our prime time hours. 500 EST to 100 EST. Day shift unless like I said the site has a lot of non-american players is usually more difficult.

I've seen a trend in the type of players that play different times during the day.

(Note all times are in Eastern time, adjust for your time zone)

WEEKDAYS

-Evening from 6 pm to 1 am has a variety of players, but most are normal people that work 9-5 and want to relax. It depends on the table limit, most of the 9-5er's play $2/$4 and under. The competition is medium to hard

-Daytime from 9 am to 5 pm has many retiree's playing. The competition is easy to medium based on the table limit. I find that many play $0.50/$1.00 for some odd reason.

-Morning from 2 am to 8 am has night-owls. They can't sleep, or they may just feel like doing something rather than sleeping. Many play low stakes from $0.50/$1.00 and down. The competition is usually easy.

WEEKENDS

-Evening from 6 pm to 1 am has many good players. This is usually the busiest time for poker sites, and there is always action at the high-stakes tables. You have to earn your money with these guys. The competition varies a great deal from easy to extremely hard.

-Daytime from 9 am to 5 pm has better than average players, many pro's play online before they head to the B&M casino. You can find some easy fish to play, but for the most part, the competition is medium to hard.

-Morning from 2 am to 8 am is filled with party-animals and bachelors. The limits are usually $1/$2 and lower, and the competition is usually easy. You will find much more action is the mornings on weekends than you will on the weekdays. Also many college students will be on. The competition is from easy to medium.

This is how I feel the different times compare, feel free to adjust it !

for me the best time to play is in the wee hours of the morning cuz i got nothing else to do and pokers a patient game and ill have something to do if i get a bad streak of cards....sleep
