Have You Ever Thought About Quitting Poker?

lilpotato · Apr 29, 2017

Not today but I just woke up... Now I have thought about it.

Jhon Lozano · Apr 29, 2017

I have always thought that Poker will help me a lot in my life if I use it correctly, leaving it could be an option but I firmly believe that it would not be the right thing to do.

It's hard to stay positive after constantly running bad. It makes you second guess your game or if poker is beatable. Sometimes the best thing is a timeoff/break without poker and comeback with that passion to crush.

Ive thought about quitting solely based on the amount of time I was spending each day. I noticed I was prioritizing poker over many more important things. These thoughts hit the hardest after a bad beat. It makes playing not as fun and more of a job.

when I go on a run of getting it in good 80/20 type shoves and have them draw out on me multiple times in huge spots over a couple sessions, it really sucks the life out of me. but in the end the sun runs draw me back in and make me realize that the numbers work out in the end.

I already thought in a week I took more than 30 beads beat I was angry I was days without playing without looking at the face of the pokerstar icon

Leave your account of negative moments that left you on the path to giving up poker.

Leaving it, never, is like my job, I just take a break, or as they say, vacations and go back to the tables repowering.:joyman:

Quit if you cannot afford what you are losing ... money, time or relationships

eniseysmail · Dec 5, 2020

I don't think about it yet. The game doesn't take much of my time.

KizherXVII · Dec 5, 2020

Why quit if winning??? Poker is like the stockmarket for me... risk management

Goku55 · Dec 5, 2020

Not permanently

I’ve always had it in the back of my mind, especially on a downswing it gets hard to play. You think to yourself why am I even playing and it’s normal but you just got to try and take breaks and play what you can afford or play free. I love the game and it doesn’t matter weather I win or not even though winning is always nice. But I would only stop playing temporarily poker is more or less my life right now though.

I taken long and short breaks and quit for five years. The five break start with what I though was a short break

Branimir84 · Dec 5, 2020

Yes, and have done for years. Obviously I returned, but with now different and more realistic view of me in the poker game.

ANGELWEB · Dec 5, 2020

Yes, every time I go out on the bubble! LOL

marcelo benavidez · Dec 6, 2020

I never thought about it, I play for fun, poker for me is not a means of earning, of course I consider winning a good bonus, I want to win a large amount, but for this I will not go crazy, like I am millions and I understand it perfectly

mardasenia · Dec 6, 2020

To be honest, I was going to quit playing poker many times, probably it becomes sad or pulls on adventures or pulls your nerves, you still open the client and continue to play)))))

andrezito38 · Dec 6, 2020

I wanted to give up at the beginning.
went on tilt a lot.
after I started respecting the game and mainly other players, poker became another game for me

Jim_Saras · Dec 6, 2020

I thought about quitting many times. But I thought it's better to study and get better instead of being a quitter. As long as you play what you can afford to lose and keep learning you're fine.

mclay · Dec 6, 2020

The game is life and life is the game. It is not possible to quit life.

007Leon · Dec 7, 2020

No, until I get some money of it

Matt_Burns88 · Dec 8, 2020

Not really. I've taken a break from time to time and sometimes for longer periods of time without really thinking about it too much, but I've never made a conscious decision to quit.

Adi8877 · Dec 8, 2020

many times, but I always come back, as the other time wasting things in life go by....
period. and i will do it again, even i wish never stop again, develop more patiance and live from poker
