I stop if I lose all day during a game session in tournaments on premium cards.

If, nevertheless, excitement affects your game adversely: you are constantly trying to win back and get involved in incomprehensible banks in the hope of winning everything in a row, then you should pause the game and comprehend what is happening. If you can’t cope with this illness yourself, then you can call for help from relatives who will watch your game and money from the side. If it turns out that you are a gambler, change your attitude to the game. Imagine that every action you take, be it a check, a bet or a raise, is an investment, and you always need to understand how it is justified. Don't forget that in poker it's impossible to win every hand, so you always have to finish on time. As they say, pass - saved the bankroll!

I play 2 or 3 hours a day, if I have had 2 bad days, at least I rest 1 full day. I take a breath, I go for a walk, I play soccer. I try to do anything that has nothing to do with poker. and then I return with better feelings to play. :D:D

I'm not taking a break. I'm already used to the fact that there are ups and downs in poker and there's no getting away from variance.
If in the long term you know that you will earn anyway, then do not worry about temporary fluctuations.

From time to time I take breaks. I play for fun, however, I am disciplined about my risk system, bankroll management. The breaks I take are not related to losses. Although in general, I am absolutely convinced that a break is the best way to save money and nerves.

I always stop and take a break if I realize that luck is not on my side. After a break I always have better results.

If the defeat is constant and greater than the profits, it is better to reduce the frequency of participation in poker games. But non-stop.

I don't believe in "stopping", but seeing if I'm becoming predictable and seeing what's happening. If I'm on tilti for example.

But quitting is not an option these days.

I will take a long break if I feel very upset when I have a downswing or realise my strategy doesn't work. It's better to relax and review whether there are any problems.

I never stop, you have to be more resilient.

Poker is variance, so is life.

Play when you're feeling better/normal

No one is forcing you to play so stopping playing poker is a wise move to make especially if you're feeling tilted or feeling down for a variety of reasons. You could also study, analyse your past plays in the meantime.

I think everyone can do well from time to time, but I haven't really thought about quitting poker completely. I like playing poker, but you never know what can happen in the future and how it will affect my poker experience. But that's in the future and I live in the here and now and that's why I keep playing until I just don't feel like it anymore.

It's happened to me, of going a few days without earning anything, when that happens the best thing to do is take a break. I like to refresh my memory by doing another activity, and then I go back to playing. Good luck to everyone at the tables.:)

I play casual poker, so i am not making my living from it.
That's why i don't think of quitting alltogether... maybe sometimes if i hit a couple of bad beats in a row, i quit playing for 1-2-3 days and that's all for now...
