When a week isn't very good and you're taking a lot of bad things, what's your attitude? Stop playing, keep playing well, or do you play tilted?

เมื่อสัปดาห์นั้นไม่ค่อยดีนักและคุณเจอเรื่องแย่ๆ มากมาย คุณมีทัศนคติอย่างไร? หยุดเล่น เล่นต่อไปให้ดี หรือเล่นแบบหัวเสีย?
I rested and then came back to play, noticing my own emotions when I played.

When the week is not going well, I try to either not play or play as little as possible, I'm not in the mood to play. Good luck to everyone

I stop playing for 3-4 days. You also have to analyze why things aren't working out for you. For example, when I play with my strategy, I stay calm and come back the next day. Personally, it's because I don't feel like playing, and that's why I don't play on those days.

Stop playing, go do something more interesting in real life. Go out for a walk in the fresh air or play a sport, get away from the screen.

I don’t play, or I play less than regularly.

Perhaps poker is a game in which sometimes you need to stop in time. And if something doesn't work out, then it's better to take a break.

If I notice I’m starting to play emotionally instead of logically, I usually take a short break. Bad runs happen in poker, but playing tilted almost always makes things worse.
What helped me most was separating results from decisions. If I got the money in good and still lost, I try to accept it as part of the game. But if I start forcing spots or chasing losses, that’s usually my signal to step away for a bit and reset mentally.

I play to buy food, so I can't stay still for too long, but it's really difficult when I go into tilt mode and start losing due to emotional instability.

I think it depends a lot, of course there are variations, some months are great and others not so much, but I believe we have to focus on volume to get better results, and of course, always study to improve.

When I'm having a hard time, I prefer to stop playing and come back another time.

When I fart at games, I stop playing for two to three hours, to keep calm, I look for other things to do, then play again.

During a busy week, I do everything I have to do, nothing more than I can accomplish, and if I have time left, I play poker to relax. In the end, everything works out and if it doesn't, it's because you didn't reach the end.

I play sports, in my case soccer, it's my way of unwinding. And if not, I listen to music for hours; both of those things give me energy.

During busy weeks I usually stop worrying about volume and just focus on quality sessions. Even if I only have time for an hour or two, I’d rather play fully focused than grind tired and distracted. Sometimes I’ll just review hands, watch strategy content, or play a small session instead of forcing a long grind.

I’ve learned that poker is still there next week, but burnout and bad habits can stick around a lot longer.

Until my mind clears (until I get some sleep), not only poker, but nothing else can go right.
Over time, you come to realize that when your mind is tired, even the simplest tasks are prone to errors. The human body is ingeniously designed.
