Well ... of course I've had those kinds of thoughts ... especially when you're on a losing streak where even though you're playing well ... the variance is killing you ... you feel that frustration and desire to stop playing poker. ..!

No problem on that , there is always better / beneficial things to do instead of playing poker but due to nowadays' situation it's a good time killer. I don't know what I am gonna do poker wise in a random time period from now on but grinding once in a while is not a bad idea. So giving up poker for good?? I don't think so , it's a game after all!

So far, such thoughts have not arisen, since this is for me a hobby that brings pleasure when spending leisure time on weekends, from the main activity.

I did give up poker for about three years. Then one day I received an email from PokerStars giving me a free $5 spin and go. I turned that into $2700 and haven't looked back since.

Yes, many times. There are points where after being in a slump of losing and bad luck I ask what am I accomplishing but then I always find a way to motivate myself to keep learning.

I've never thought about that because I just play poker for fun and I mostly play freeroll or micro buy-in so it didn't affect me a lot when I lost. But I think if we lose a lot money in poker and don't receive anything, we should give it up.

In the past I gave up, more correctly left it for a while plenty times. Nowadays, I think, I never will, everything else became more useless than poker.

Have I ever thought about quitting poker? Not.
I quit every time I leave the table.

Of course, you would like the loss not to affect you in any way, and you would calmly continue your day, but not everyone is given this. For some people, the pain of defeat is the price they pay for the burning desire to win.

none of us have such superpowers. But you can learn a more objective way of assessing your skill. By knowing better how you play, you will be able to deal much better with short-term losses.

How is the man! so ... when you lose you think about retiring from poker ... but, I ask? When you win, you invest more money in the game just because you won? hmmm ..
