How much do you actually play?
Having had a discussion with Benjamin some time ago, and recently with some guys I regulary play, I would be interested how much the people visit here play mahjongg.
I am interested in: How many hours a week, how often, how often offline, online sets (playing with friends) or free. Or if you don t know the number of hours, I am also glad to hear the number of hanchans.
Thanks,

I usually play on-line about 90mins three times a week and with a group of friends every other Sunday for 2 hanchans.

Re:How much do you actually play?
Good question!
In a typical week, I play one 2 hour afternoon game with two Japanese ladies. The game is hosted by one of the ladies.
and my regular \"three player mj\" session on Friday evenings which can be anything from 4 to 10 hours long (usually 4-6 hours though), in a mahjong parlour.
Then, once a month I join one of my students and his parents at their house for a game that lasts about 4 hours.
I sometimes play an online game, about an hour a week maybe.

Well our club plays for about 5 hours every thursday. Apart from that I usualy get in another 4-5 hours of play during the other days of the week. I don\'t play that much online..(just a few games each month). Then on top of that I play regularly in tournaments (about 10 each year).
The time is split between riichi and MCR though but I\'m guessing at least 60% of it is riichi.
If I add the time I spent organizing and stuff that gets to be a scary amount of hours :)

Our club plays for around 4-5 hours every sunday evening. Actually it\'s more like 8 hours but it\'s mixed between Go and Mahjong.

Hi Mcqreaq,
That is an interesting mixture. Have you thought about adding shogi to the mix?

Re:How much do you actually play?
When I was studying in Japan, I\'d play at least twice a week in the dorm, and would go out to play an all-nighter at the parlors about once a month. :P
Since I\'ve been home, I\'ve just been playing in small intervals on Tenhou or Fight Club on my ds, but the feeling\'s so different, I rather not play at all :(

It started out as a go club a few years ag6 and mahjong was only added recently (2 months ago or so).

Re:How much do you actually play?
I play online almost everyday but love playing with friends on the weekends way more.
Re:How much do you actually play?
I play online almost daily too, at least for a game or two. We play live one or two times a month (usually 5-7h sessions). I\'d like to play even more but getting around people\'s schedules is tough.. We don\'t have enough players either.
Re:How much do you actually play?
I play almost every day online, from 1 to many games per day. I do not have a mahjong set, we do not have here mahjong parlours and from my friends i am the only one who knows and likes to play. I learned the basics some days ago.

Re:How much do you actually play?
I play between 1-3 tournaments per week (usually 4 hours sessions, North-Kanto is 8 hours so 8-12 hours per week of that I guess), between 7 and 15 hours of Free (casino-style), 10-15 hours of Mahjong Fight Club at the arcade and usually try to get in 10-15 hours of online play per week. So I guess I\'m playing about 40 hours per week, but I\'m planning to increase that in the coming months, trying to increase my hours of Free play.
