12:05pm: Is there any truth to the theory that certain days are more profitable than others? That’s may be for you to decide, but let me present you with my case. Take a look at it and compare to your results. Here is a graph of both my profitability and ROI on each day of the week:

By looking at my graph, two days stick out at you: Thursday and Friday. Thursday stands out from a profitability standpoint. Meanwhile, Friday stands out from a return on investment standpoint. Why is that? Do people play more loose knowing they will get paid at the end of the week? Conversely, you can see the least profitable day of the week for me is Monday. This is a complaint that I have seen a lot of people have. One theory is that all of the regulars are out on Monday. But if that is the case, why aren’t results repeated for Tuesday and Wednesday (or even Thursday, since Thursday is, indeed, a weekday). The odd part about my graph is that only 3 days are different from the “norm”. Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday all have pretty much the same statistics, from a results standpoint. That leaves Monday, Thursday and Friday as the odd men out. Oddly enough, Thursday is also my most profitable day on Full Tilt Poker.

So what gives: is it a more focused, determined me on Thursdays, or is it a less focused, less determined opponent on this day? This is a very interesting question and I’d be very interested in knowing your results.
