Longest Time Away From Poker?

Royal_074 · Jul 27, 2017

I've had a break for two year. Business, married, my daughter's born...

blanktheman · Jul 27, 2017

i stopped for about 4 years. I came back just for fun and to see if i could still play. I'm a lot better now than what i used to be. I always think about quitting, i'm tired of losing. As fast as I win , i lose it all. Over and over and over.

Lose yes, never give up

How many times do we think about giving up playing poker because we only lose,
I believe that on many occasions we are not playing focused enough to win.
Poker is a strategy game, and when we play in the long run it comes back for sure!
Who ever thought about giving up halfway and stop playing?

What was your longest time without playing poker????

ONE HOUR
ONE DAY
ONE MONTH OR MORE

I stopped playing for about 3 years. I just burned myself out, but now I'm playing again and I love it.

6 months, I think so

I stayed two weeks without playing after I left Bsop's qualifier in 2016. Then I went back to play and I did not stop.
We are together!!!

Nice. I used to play 6 days a week and just got tired of the grind and got a "real" job. Mainly, because it was all in illegal card rooms and was just generally a pretty sketchy situation sometimes. I used to live about 6 hours away from the closest casino cardroom, so I could only make the trip a couple of times a month. I live in the US, so online wasn't reliable after black Friday.

1 month

long time

I was not playing poker for 2 years and I came back and forgot all the strategies and ways to play it. It's hard to start over

That's the fun part to me. I'm working hard to learn all the newer stuff that I hadn't even considered before I quit.

SlavaUa · Jul 27, 2017

When i begin to play (about 7-8 years ago) i played almost every day, but there was one moment that i did not play, 1-2 monthes but i can not stop playing, it is my best game!!!

feecg · Jul 27, 2017

Surprisingly it was when I traveled to las vegas, I am 20, so I could play poker there, but fortunately I could chase some online poker, but it was the period that I played less poker in this year, I didn't play poker for about 6 days, and I was starting to freak cause I was seeing a lot of casino and poker tables, and people gambling, and I was like "man why didn't my mother had me some months before

sellless · Jul 27, 2017

I've been playing off and on for maybe a decade. Probably 4 or 5 month breaks a few times.

daluby · Jul 28, 2017

Maybe seven years? Then on again. Then like a few weeks

ats272 · Jul 28, 2017

There was a break in six months. Had a rest from poker.

Yeah, taking breaks like that helped me get refocused.

celo945 · Aug 19, 2017

I stayed for almost two years without playing, and I think that in that time I lost some of the technique

Aglarion · Aug 19, 2017

I started playing online around 2010 on pokerstars and I came back this year after a 7 year break, I still have some useless 7 year old tournament tickets on my account lol.

Djmickre · Aug 19, 2017

My longest time without playing was 6 months

fa1920 · Aug 21, 2017

One year I was without playing poker, and when I came back to play I got the final table in a live tournament lol

blackperle1 · Aug 21, 2017

About 1,5 years longest time.

makisaa · Aug 21, 2017

The longest is one day, since I am playing poker. I like play poker in my free time.

SydTheCat · Aug 21, 2017

I lost all interest after my wife passed in 2011, and I've just rediscovered my love of the game within the last month, So I guess 6 years for me.

BeeDawgg · Aug 21, 2017

Been about 6 years before I started playing this month lol. When I loaded pokerstars back up i still had $7!! Been using that till I can deposit some in a few weeks. Boy, did ever miss playing!! Lol
