Do you take a vacation from poker?

valeski 28 · Dec 18, 2025

I usually play 1 hour per day .This being so , nothing will change this month,

Time for a vacation/break when:
You’re playing longer to “get even”
Marginal spots feel exhausting instead of interesting
You’re chasing action not EV
Wins don’t feel good and losses feel personal

I don't necessarily take a break around Christmas time, but I do take 2 - 4 weeks off from time to time. I do not play online while on vacation.

I will poker for exactly 1 month starting from new year if possible and work on myself mentally and physically like good sleep diet and gym

I don't play too much to take a vacation. If I would play regularly, then I would.

rufininha14 · Dec 20, 2025

Actually, I don't have a set day for it; whenever I feel I should take a break, I do it, regardless of the time of year. But I've been playing a lot whenever I can, and I don't plan on taking any breaks for now.

I am a pensioner, so I am on holiday for the rest of my life. How are my holidays going? Without poker, they are boring. That's why I play poker, and it allows me to forget about the negative and get a little bit of positive emotions.

Whenever possible...

i usually play normally, if i need some time off from poker grind i just do it anytime time in the year.
I set goals for the year.

In my case, since I’m a tournament player, I want to play between 5,000 and 6,000 games in 2026.

I don't take vacations, I play poker almost every day, sometimes I'm busy and maybe I don't play for a day, all the online friends I know also play almost every day. For those of us who like poker it's normal to talk about poker every day, comment on hands, or some prize won, we always rejoice when someone wins a good sum of money in a tournament.

I've been playing poker for a year and a half. So, I still don't know what a vacation is. I'm still on a crazy quest for good results and real profit.

No vacation forecast yet. Although I know it's important.

I Need a vacation

Peteski84 · Dec 20, 2025

Only accidentally.

Cooking · Dec 20, 2025

I'm not a professional player and I only play when I really want to play, so, I usually don't take any vacation from poker. But I would say if you're a professional, it's important to take a break from poker at least one time per year.

pokerV · Dec 21, 2025

I’d say now’s the time to PLAY! 😎✌️

tuitui · Dec 22, 2025

Instead of playing regularly or in large amounts, I try to be selective about when and how I play. This allows me to do other things without completely eliminating poker from my life.

Poker is still a meaningful and educational hobby for me, but I find it useful to take a break from intense play from time to time. It does not mean completely forgetting about poker just study poker more and play less.
Trying taking a more balanced approach to the game. This allows me to enjoy poker without unnecessary pressure and maintain motivation in the long run.

Like2Play2 · Dec 22, 2025

I am taking a break right now from all the freerolls. For the first time in 15 years. I feel like I am more in control of my addition to poker.
But I do play a few games here and there.

rdwr33 · Dec 22, 2025

For sure, I haven't played for 20 days already. I'll be back at the tables in 2026.

UngureanuDan · Dec 22, 2025

Just if i have to do something alse!

dreamer13 · Dec 22, 2025

I take a break from poker in the summer, I rarely play, I go fishing and have a vacation.The only thing better than running well is running better. In poker, a break is essential.

DiazPoker3101 · Dec 23, 2025

My vacations are playing poker — during the year I work just to make a living 😞

comini · Apr 14, 2026

Yes, I think it's very important to take a break and enjoy life.

Rachidao · Apr 14, 2026

Vacation is important for all things, even dopamine.

YLAN · Apr 14, 2026

Poker is vacation. I take a vacation from work to play poker. Work is hard & poker is vacation.

Jyco · Apr 14, 2026

I always play a little, but there are times when it’s not my main priority, so I end up taking breaks. Usually it’s because of other things I consider more important that take up more time, so the break happens naturally. But I always come back when I find some free time.
