How to deal with those days when you don't feel motivated at all or when you get tired to play or study?

Gian Totaro · Apr 13, 2023

What do you do when you face those days? I think the best way to deal with those emotions is to do something, whatever, study poker, play, the idea is to be able to do something that keeps you focused.

What a stupid question… please clarify exactly Where are you going with this question - weirdo….

Gallarado777 · Apr 13, 2023

if you do not have the motivation to study something, then you should go in for sports, it gives motivation or watch videos about motivation videos, for example, and you will become a little motivated and find the strength to do something or learn, I think you need to do this when you don't have enough energy

There are no stupid questions....
I think if you aren't feeling it just take a break and come back to it fresh,
it's not mandatory to play or study if you just aren't feeling it that day👍

Sometimes it is best to take a break and do something else like go for a walk or watch a movie. Sometimes it helps me to exercise while reading or watching poker videos or listening to podcasts...something like a stationary bike or a treadmill.

I think the best thing to do when you feel unmotivated to play is to go outside for recreation, with friends or to play sports, then the next day go back in with batteries.

Continue playing?

COMIRRR · Apr 14, 2023

It would be best to relax by doing something else, but it's hard to do that when it's about poker

waitandblead123 · Apr 14, 2023

If you don't want to take a break, don't force yourself

sincos · Apr 14, 2023

Self-care helps me. Just telling myself to PLAY

Paya_31 · Apr 14, 2023

Hello friend, just rest, do other things, something you also like to do, go for a walk, meet friends, whatever you like, from there you will come back much more motivated to play

Since we all play poker as a hobby, it's probably the best just to not play or study.

Just enjoy other things. ☺️

As a 15+ year winning micro/low stakes rec/hobby player when it gets too that point(I try not to let it) but when it does that signals too me it's time for a break and too get a better poker life balance. Personally the idea is too relax, doing another hobby, sit around and do nothing or take a 4-5 day vacation whatever. Get away from the table and unwind last thing I'm gonna be doing is focusing on studying poker or anything else to do with poker. Cause in my experience when in that frame of mind studying poker and going over HH is like trying to play when not at your best or feeling it. It's basically a waste of time.

Cheers!!!

Always keep me focused on the objectives, some days is good have a rest in the grind schedule.

RustyRed83 · Apr 14, 2023

Go out and enjoy nature. Best remedy you can get

Go running ... it clarifies and you get focused. Endorphine...

On such days, I just take a break and rest. I walk, watch series, cook, drink beer, meet with friends. It is better to take a break than to be forced to do something for which there is no inspiration and interest.

I really don't know too. If I think rationally the best thing to do in those days is just do something else, like other hobbies you have. But sometimes I'm tired but there are great tournaments to play and I ended up playing them even. Of course in those days I don't have patience to play, so, usually I make bad decisions.

rion85 · Apr 14, 2023

Usually if I'm tired I just sit on the balcony and drink a beer or wine or just a coke

Or the best to eat ice cream, and if my brain really tired because I work 10-12hrs a day fron of the screen, I just go out and ride a bike in the nearest forest

Or if I'm completely out of my mind I just play PUBG with my friend on XBOX

It's okay to not play poker and to not study poker. Do things that you enjoy doing instead on days like these.

Listen to your favorite music, spend time with your best friends and your girlfriend.

Or boyfriend, brother, sister, other family you like, pets, etc.

Or if you are in a nursing home, maybe take a look through the window across the street and go for a stroll with a walker.

No need to play if you dont fancy it. And even less reason to do so if you arent going to play well. Just do something else

How to deal with those days when you don't feel motivated at all or when you get tired to play or study?
