I check it every ~3-4 hours or so. Usually takes about 15 minutes.
I go through front page and look posts that are interesting to me. Then I go straight to the comments.
If the comments raise my interest in the actual article, I go read that.
On repeat visits, I tend to stick only to new stories, and stories where I saw an interesting conversation developing.
In big threads, I do a CTRL F for "minutes", "1 hour ago", "2 hours ago", "3 hours ago".(would make my life a lot easier, if pg had some way to highlight comments from a specific period...i.e. highlight every comment made within the last [3 hours][V] <---that's a drop down box)
