profitable times to play
hi guys, firstly hello - brand new to the site...
question:
when do find the most profitable time is to play online? i am from the UK and seem to find that the american competition is on the whole a litle softer than that of the europeans, so i find early hours work best for me.
what are your findings if any on the subject?

I usually find Friday and Saturday, around 0-2am is the best for palying against other UK players, as thats when mostof the drunks are playing...although this means remaining sober yourself...
5am-8am GMT would be the best time to play against all the drunk americans...not sure if i could be bother getting up at 6am on Saturday tho..

Depends how dedicated you are. I sometimes stay up til 6AM as I find there is a noticeable shift in maniac play at around 4Am UK time - that must be 11PM EST, maybe thats when the bars kick out in America?

I actually find early morning UK to be profitable, even more so around 8-11am.
Its all the crazies. That said the suckouts are horrific.
eg I am showing open trips and get called by someone with an inside straight draw with two outs gone

bars all close at 2 am, some stay open later but they cant serve after 2 so there is no point in being there but, depending on the day it can be lose in the mourning or the night for me

but for me its aound 2-5am ET b/c im familiar with the players, and the games are a bit tighter.

Personally I am so sick of the time difference.. Why, oh why do we, europeans, need to wake up at 5 am to play against americans? Why do not they do it to play against us?

Cause If we wake up at 5 am to play against Europeans, well, We're still tired and sleepy while you guys are enjoying lunch or early supper. Meaning your primed and we're not. Nice one picking the crappy hemisphere.

Lol. Right. But I thought we do it cuz you, Americans, have cooler tournaments 
Anyways, you still have time for a nice night´s sleep after you have played, while we go right to work
