Do you have periods of time when you are lazy to play poker!

Hello! Do you have periods of time when you are lazy to play poker!

Chica_bonita · May 24, 2022

Hello! :ciao:
Poker is a hobby for me, so in most cases the opposite is true. I am distracted by tournaments from everyday and surrounding problems.

But it happens that I decide to spend the evening in the company of a good movie and some alcoholic beverage. At first, I think I'll sit down and then play my tournament. But when the time is approaching the tournament, I no longer want to play and strain myself. In this case, I either go all in, or I don't register at all. :angel:
Perhaps this can be called laziness.

narc · May 24, 2022

yes, sometimes I get sick of playing, which makes me too lazy to enter the game and stay for hours, I end up not even playing. Because my best way to play is when I'm excited, that is, I really want to play.

valetgll · May 24, 2022

There are cases of apathy towards the game, but because I need money, I force myself to play. This is like my second job.

Mauricio Perrotta · May 24, 2022

Yes, of course, there are weeks when I don't feel like playing or I start doing something else, like playing soccer or tennis, etc, etc. So I give up poker

Risto234 · May 24, 2022

Periods eh? I've probably felt that since forever and ever.

Right now I have such a period. But it's not just about poker. Now I'm lazy about everything, I just want to do nothing. Usually such periods last 2-3 days, and then I start working and playing poker with new strength.

RustyRed83 · May 24, 2022

Absolutely, it is a mistake to play poker when you cannot really be bothered. For me, poker is a hobby, so i think with that comes the laziness. Not relying on poker for money, probably takes the edge of caring and putting the effort in.

mina271 · May 24, 2022

I don't know if you can say that it's laziness but I think every now and then, especially when you're in a streak of bad luck, taking a short break could do you good. Of course there is no guarantee that things will get better once you start playing again, but a streak of bad luck usually doesn't last that long. Although I have experienced myself that it lasted for several months. But it was a good lesson for me and I don't let things like that affect my game anymore.

whitetailbuck10 · May 24, 2022

Maybe not laziness, but life changes have affected my amount of poker time for sure.... I played almost daily many years ago, then literally never played a game for over 10 years until recently (last 1-2 years). Now I am once again a daily player. It is almost like a drug for me. I have the need to play, then maybe I get sick of the "drug" and life changes and I stop playing???

GREAT questions!!

Like2Play2 · May 24, 2022

Not lazy but preoccupied with something else and I know I shouldn't play.
But I do play because I am trying to get away from what's bothering me and trying to relax
by playing poker.

Sometimes it works, other times, I just play bad poker.

Skot_Gy · May 24, 2022

When i don't have time'mood for poker it's not because lazyness, but because physical tiredness or psychical apathy to the game.
Or i have something much more fun to do...

Yes, I do, mostly when I have to do a lot of office work and don't want to spend my free time in front of another screen.

katifanko · May 24, 2022

Sometimes I just get sick of it and abandon the game for a while until I miss it again. When I actually want to play but am too lazy, I don't go for a long tournament, I just enter a quick game of Spin & Go which can last 5-10 minutes.

I wouldn't say laziness, but when I get a few days of downswing, I don't even get close to the pc, I wait for the dust to settle then I play again.

whiskers77 · May 24, 2022

I am not lazy to play, but sometimes just too tired to play. And if this happens, I just stick to the freerolls. At the moment it is such time, because I have full-time job and now also the gardening season kicked in. But I still love to play in the League here at my day, but I play really less buy-in games atm. When we had some group challenges here, I really played more and more regularly. But now is nothing like this, that keeps me so much at the tables, But it is okay, it will come again latest in fall.

TheNutz4You · May 24, 2022

think we've all been there. just going through the motions, not really trying nor caring how we play.

azgeda · May 24, 2022

Yep happens sometimes

Maxmustdie · May 24, 2022

I always want to play poker, at least a couple of stones
i have another problem no bankroll for the game

WrongUsername · May 24, 2022

Yes the periods of lazy when downswings happen.

Newzooozooo · May 25, 2022

Hi.
I think every player has such periods. But for me it is not a problem. If I'm tired of poker and I'm not interested in playing, I just take a break for a few days.
Good luck.

pavel1111111 · May 25, 2022

so far I don't have such a problem

)), maybe the other way

around, I don't really take a break from poker and I should take

TulasMoreno · May 25, 2022

Yes that happens to me a lot and the best thing you can do is to stop playing for a while untill you feel good to play!

cowboybebop · May 25, 2022

Yes definitely, about every 2 months or so. You have to take a break from poker time from time, as in every other activity in life.

Cooking · May 25, 2022

Yes, I have these moments. But when I feel too lazy to play and I only play because I want win some money, I try to only play freerolls or micro buy in tournaments because I know I won't be focused as I should be.

Do you have periods of time when you are lazy to play poker!
