I would take a break when feeling tired and frustrated with the outdraws or coolers during my grind. It is good to take a break from the game then do some studies on different sections of your game.

Sometimes I take breaks of 3 to 7 days of rest, but soon I'll be back, however, to play, fatigue is sometimes present in the poker player, the good thing is to have a good diet and good nights rest.

I take breaks all the time. I get board with the game. I seem to play better afterwards.

Try to take a longer break and then return.

It's normal to go a few days without playing poker, but not for a long time, otherwise you end up being surprised with how much evolution happened during your off days, normally I go two to three days without playing, but always connected to almost everything that involves poke.

Sometimes it’s worth taking breaks in the game so that it doesn’t get boring. I play 5 days a week, averaging several hours a day. Sometimes it makes sense not to play for a week. For example, after a long downstreak.

I would have quit playing poker a long time ago. I've been playing for a very long time and, to be honest, I'm tired of this poker. I want to take a break from it. But when the salary is small, there is no other way out. If I had a European salary, I would have long forgotten about poker.

After years of playing poker I didn't play for a few days, but my desire to play is not what it used to be. I played every day for 2 years nonstop and always played 6-8 hours a day. day after 2 weeks I still don't feel like playing... and how many days can you go without playing poker

The best is what will always come, my friend take a break, your body is asking you, it's a clear signal what is happening to you, spend that time in other activities, enjoy the day to day, your mind and body will thank you, and if you come to feel and want to return then welcome

I personally love taking breaks from playing poker. I don't always take a break from gambling but poker absolutely. The longest break I took would be around 6 months or so. I enjoy taking breaks because when I do want to play and sit at a table I enjoy myself 1 million times more than if I had been playing everyday. It also helps that I have plenty of other things I'm trying to accomplish so taking a break isn't a big deal for me.

My longest break lasted about a month. But it was only once. On average, I play poker 5 days a week and then rest for two days. And I almost never play longer than 5-7 hours a day.

I didn't play poker for a month and when I started playing again it looked like I was more than a year without playing, because I played very badly and it took me a while to get right in the game.

Several years.You can not make addiction out of the game.You need to be able to separate the virtual world from the real world.

I didn’t play poker for 3-4 days because I was visiting so I probably wouldn’t miss a single day
