I've been playing online poker for about 3 months since I got laid of. It started out just as hobby because I always liked to play poker with my friends on the weekends, but then I found myself having more time since I wasn't working so I started playing more. I'd say I probably play for around 5 hours a day.
Honestly, I was doing pretty ok, like around breakeven, but then I found some good rakeback deals ( http://www.ubrakeback.com/ ) and that just got me more addicted.
Is it bad that I play online poker for 5 hours a day when I'm unemployed? That sounds really bad, doesn't it. I don't really think it's that bad.
What do you think? How long is a "healthy" amount of time to play for each day?

There is nothing wrong about playing online poker for more than five hours. The most important thing that you need to know is "Do not spend what you can not afford to lose". Actually, Ive been playing Poker, Black Jack and Roulette for more than 8 hours period. I have to say and admit that I am a professional online gambler and this is what I do for a living.

To really earn a good amount of income playing online casinos, you need a reliable broker and Pokerstar.com seems to be okay but I can not guarantee since I have not yet tried them. You have to be aware that some of these casino brokers does cheat on their players and it can be easily identified due to an unexpected series of occurring losses. Sad to say that I can not help you out and you have to figure out for your self a good method and I'm sure that you can with constant practice.

I don't play poker, but my hubby does. and I really find the game so addicting to him. He doesn't only play poker, he also plays mmorpgs as well. playing 5 hours just for leisure or a break isn't that bad for me. Just don't miss out on the most important things in life, like spending quality time with family or friends, and also search for a job. Regards. Best of luck to you!

5 hours a day is reasonable if you actually do other things. If you're unemployed, you really should be looking for another job. A question I need to ask, is ubrakeback.com a place for the Poker money? Or is it also real life money. Or e-money i should say. If it is e-money, then you probably would be getting some income but you really need a job.
