    After playing about 30 the last two days, I feel like shit and am burnt out (fk tournies). So I was wondering, if you had to estimate, how many hours does a full work week consist of?

    OMG @ WCOOP. I have been regularly playing 14 hours-ish a day for 6 or 7 days straight. Regular weeks will probably be like 50-70 hours. That excludes studying, watching videos, etc... right now. Free time? Who needs it!

    prolly ~35-40, I make sure to take time off, or I'd end up hanging myself.

    Oddly enough, I played more when I was in school than now that I'm not.

    But probably around 20-30

    I don't like playing super long and drawn out sessions so I usually play all the mid-limit MTT's from 8-10:30pm, 3-4 days per week. Then I usually play one weekend afternoon (primarily Sunday's). In total, ~ 40 hours a week.

    well my typical day is regging 130-930pm prob 5 days a week so whatever that may be plus a little extra on sunday so im guessing 60+ hours a week playing is what it is for me

    probably around 20-25 hrs per week maybe a bit more before school started

    1-2 nights a week of mtts about 7pm-3am and then sundays, with random cash in between. school/internship/gf make for long weeks tho
