How often do you play?

Something I have been thinking a bit about lately. How often do you play? Do you need to have a set time to go out and play, do you have serious training sessions? A weekly club meeting? In general, I try to play for about an hour about 4-5 times per week. Would be interesting to know what others are doing. I have created a poll to see the results.

Let me know if there's some options I should add in.

I play once a week. At our weekly club gathering on thursday. We are usually around 5-6 players. We play for 2 hours and it ends with beer and shit talking.
I would like to get it up to two a week. The weekly gathering for shred and hanging out and one more for more serious practice.
I am progressing fine at the moment by just playing once a week though.

I voted once a month, but really I play sporadically - sometimes daily for a stretch of time, and then sometimes not at all for months (and the in-between possibilities too!).

Ideally I like to play 3-4 times a week but for the last month or so I've only played once a week on average. Felt like I needed to take it easy for a bit. Sometime in November I plan to kick it back into gear but for now I just voted once a week.

For the past half year-ish, about 2-3 times per month, which is the most I've played in years, I think.
Previously I wasn't playing for 1-2 years, or off and on. And this trend kind of repeats over the past many years based on injuries mostly.

It's definitely seasonal. In the summer I play almost every day, and in the winter it's pretty much only sessions on weekends. I'd guess that over the course of a year, I probably average a session once every 2 days or so.

I'm curious to know how much/often top players practiced when they were pre-guiltless.

Vasek: 7 hours every day.

But I don't know if he was ever "pre-guiltless".

It would be great to see some footage of Vasek not knowing how to stall, or struggling to even kick the bag. However, I'm not sure if that ever happened...
