Losing Money: Should I Stop Playing?

Lochika · Oct 6, 2021

I think that you definitely should stop playing for money.
I seggust you take a break from poker stars and focus on improving your game. Then, play once a week to implement your new strategy and analyze your game after. When you reach a level that you see that you are making the right decision most of the time in those little sesions, you can gradually increase your volume and go from there.
Good Luck

when you are at beggining of your career it's important to even learn more than playing. You can't be a winning player without it. It's not 2010 year when you could just play with some charts + bet sizing preflop and win money.

If you like to play poker and want to win money then play less tables, more focus on your decisions, more learn and stick to a proper bankroll managament.

Take a break, and learn the theory. Start at the beginning--Harrington is helpful. And decide for yourself whether you want to play tournaments or cash.

I think that you should stop. Save money and nerves. Try some freerolls .But if 850 CAD isn't a big problem for you, you can play

I think so, trying to recover the loss is very difficult, losing more is easy.

I believe that you need to take a break from poker in order not to lose even more money. It is better to watch training videos from strong players, their streams. Maybe you will understand what is the reason for your losses, and then you can return to your favorite hobby.

Yes, stop. Even if you have enough money. First learn how to play poker bij playing with points, or freerolls.

Canwai · Oct 6, 2021

yes you must stop for a while

If you just play for fun, then you can keep playing as long as you can comfortably afford this loss. If you only play to win, clearly you might have a significant amount of work to do.

I will take a break for a while to keep my psychology from playing emotionally.

Lost - don't tell, found - don't show! Lost money - lost nothing, lost time - lost a lot.

Yes, if buyins or blinds (by cash games) are big. Play tomorrow again or in a few days.

ADRI7HO · Oct 7, 2021

It’s worth analyzing hand histories and figuring out what might have been the reason for the loss.
Poorly played hands, inattention, or just a negative wave of variance. If the latter and not your game is the fault then it is worth going to a lower bet to spin the negative wave, and if the former is the reason for the loss of poorly played hands then you should improve the game to learn even here in the CC freerolls.
Good luck.

If you have money for your funny without any problem for you health finance, no problem if you want to give money in poker and only funny.

But if would you like give money with poker, you need think about your strategy and your modal of play, your skills, maybe you only to need to found your best room and mode of the game: tournament, clash, sit go, spin.

Normally you can give in some mode game and in other to be loser.

moularaki · Oct 7, 2021

no you shouldn't
you need to change the way you are playing
be more tight

whyfold that · Oct 7, 2021

RDHartsoe · Oct 7, 2021

I would take a break. I would adjust the tournaments I was playing. Play lower stakes for better bankroll management. The low times will come and go. Ride the wave.

Here is a question for you how long have you been playing poker?
And have you never had a down swing before ? down swings are like the shanks in golf they come and go sometimes a little adjustment in your play will help sometimes a break! But there is one thing i do know if you like to play poker just like any game you have to learn as you go. Maybe you should just stick with play money games until you get better at the game just my opinion. Take care and have fun whatever you decide.

When I start losing money, I just stop playing for a week. I know I'm doing everything right, but I caught my tilt. I think in this case it's better to take a break.

The best way stop to lose is stop to play. Seek for a lucky day and win the first place. Patience is the best means in such situation.

lhmove · Oct 7, 2021

Losing money … most importantly don’t try to win them back because you will end up losing all your bankroll .

Miguelpaniura0893 · Oct 7, 2021

If you start to lose a lot of money you have to leave it for a while, the most I lost was $ 12, which was what I had in pokerstar, I stayed at zero but well, we will go back.
