Does a professional poker player need a vacation too?

RoviP · Nov 17, 2023

I believe that vacation for a professional poker player relieves stress, I think it is essential.

elchonga · Nov 17, 2023

Is there anyone in the world or the universe rather who doesn't need a vacation?

Toruk Makto · Nov 17, 2023

I believe that the mind will need a vacation at some point yes!

bowserdon · Nov 17, 2023

I need a vacation

serj537 · Nov 17, 2023

If you play poker like you go to work, you naturally need it.

I have met some people who are uninterested in vacations, but I would guess that a hard earning grinder would love a vacation just like everybody else (some may bring work with them).

That kind of people sure are the most questionable lol

Like if you prefer staying at home to going to somewhere (abroad) (dont even have to be "vacation") then there is clearly something wrong with you ...

I used to love going south to hot weather and lots of sun. As I got older I began seeking the shade and avoiding the hot sun. Now I never vacation down south and prefer to stay home on my own beach (I live on salt waterfront). It's cooler in the summer and cheaper. The closer winter gets the more poker I play!

Many people indeed find vacations beneficial for their well-being. Taking a break from routine and responsibilities can have several positive effects on both physical and mental health.

I usually need a vacation after my vacation since I party so hard.

Seriously: most people need to recharge their brain after concentrating hard like you do if you are a professional poker player. Some extreme individuals who also think poker is the most fun and interesting thing they can do may keep on grinding year after year without being negatively affected. I think Doyle Brunson played almost every day for example.

If you can't even have time to enjoy your family and get some fun, what would be the advantage of working hard? Of course any job must have vacations.

istbno · Nov 18, 2023

Absolutely, even professional poker players need vacations. The intense mental demands, emotional rollercoaster of wins and losses, and the sedentary nature of the game can lead to burnout and diminished performance. A break offers a chance to recharge, gain perspective, and maintain a healthy work-life balance. It's not just a luxury; it's a strategic necessity for sustaining longevity and success in the competitive world of professional poker. Taking time away contributes to mental clarity, emotional well-being, and overall life enrichment.

Of course, every player needs a period off poker!

Luvepoker · Nov 18, 2023

Between everything going on in my live with work, family poker ect, I could imagine a processional poker players fee as I do right at this moment. They could you a real vacation to relax and recharge. I know I could use one and really haven't had a true vacation in...................................................... OMG I am not 100% sure any more but I think it was in 2007.

recerveau · Nov 18, 2023

I believe even more than others, due to the level of stress and pressure there is.

I'm sure that they need some rest and relaxation, and hope that they take all they need.

Falai_san · Nov 18, 2023

For me, I rest when I feel tired of playing or if I continue a series of losses.
But I don't specify a specific day to rest.

vnnby · Nov 19, 2023

it’s like a dream - everyone needs it, and rest is needed to restore resources, some kind of reboot

martDdart · Nov 19, 2023

Vacation at least 5 weeks every year to relax and recharge body and brain and focus on other things then poker.I also think one day at least every week of the year to rest is essential to maintain energy and focus to be a winning player.

Gallarado777 · Nov 19, 2023

Yes, I think it's useful to take a break from any job, even such as poker. I haven't been playing poker for a week, taking a break from poker and coming back with the energy I gained on vacation, I always advise everyone to relax and feel like a person Living for themselves is very good for themselves and for your health

Alexey Shley · Nov 19, 2023

Of course, you need a vacation, just like a weekend. If a person playing poker does this professionally, then a vacation is necessary. Maybe for a couple of days on vacation he'll want to play a couple of online tournaments himself)

Argonaut · Nov 19, 2023

Most people need a break, regardless of their profession, and will be reinvigorated from vacation when returning to work. But there are some people that would be happier to be working every day instead.

Rahatis · Nov 19, 2023

I need one day vacation for everyday I play poker. But I am not pro. I believe everyone needs vacations.

IRINA70 · Nov 19, 2023

I belive that everybody needs a vacation no matter what they do in their life.

pavel1111111 · Nov 19, 2023
