Apologies up front for asking a question that may have been answered in an old thread. (I searched but didn't find anything.)

Are the games on weekends and Friday and Saturday nights much better? 90% of my play is Mon-Fri, from 9am to 5pm EST. Am I missing out on the good games? Do most of you semi-pros make sure to play during these times?

The games certainly are easier during the weekends and especially at night times - at Pokerstars at least. I haven't played enough anywhere else to be able to give an answer.

I find the games are significantly "easier" on Saturdays at most sites

incredibly softer.

I dont even play at day time now... why bother playng against all the pros and retired people when I can play against drunk/casual players at night ?

you''ll have about double your day winrates at nights. Fridays and saturdays are about 4times softer. The fish/shark ratio on the tables is multiplied by 732897546291914.

Anyone whose poker income is significant should be playing at least 18houors between friday and saturdays.

bwahahaha, more than 9 hours a day of cash game playing. If you do things like this regularly, much less back to back days, you are just asking to lose in my opinion.

Pretty simple, play the Euro sites in the daytime and the American sites at night. Tribeca and Prima/Tain in the afternoon, Stars and Full Tilt at night.
