With the holiday break, have you thought about how to divide your time, which is now more, between your passion for poker or spending time with family and friends as normal? .Are you going to intentionally miss out on some promising tournaments?

I will definitely spend my free time on this holiday with my loved ones and I will play poker before going to bed on a laptop or smartphone.

Combining poker and holidays can be a festive way to socialize. Consider organizing a friendly poker night with friends or family during the holiday

At first glance, the number of poker participants increased, making it much more difficult to earn money from free tours.

I take more time to be with my family. But I play on one day if holidays are over 2-3 days.

I took a week off during the holidays and I'm not playing poker yet. I need to rest.

I really like playing poker on vacation. I can improve my game since I have more free time.

Some are convinced that holidays are a sacred time that should be spent with loved ones, you can’t cover all the blinds, and playing from an Olivier plate is not very convenient. For some, on the contrary, it is difficult to imagine people closer than their neighbors at the poker table, so they plan to celebrate the beginning of the year with them.There will be regulars from another time zone who will play despite the holidays, while amateurs will have no time for poker. So if there is an opportunity and need to be with your family, for example, then it’s probably better to do just that, rather than chase a mythical expectation that may not exist.

I try not to miss our freerolls, no matter if it's a weekend or a holiday. Each of our freerolls is a chance for me to increase my bankroll, which in turn brings me one step closer to my goal. I can only miss tournaments when I am very tired or sick.

Obviously, whenever you can afford it, it's good to spend time with your family and friends. However, if you take poker as a job, you have to consider that any standard job takes 8 hours a day, and some don't even let you choose when your vacations will be. In conclusion, it all depends on how seriously you take poker.

Now that I'm on vacation I'm taking the opportunity to play more, especially when everyone is asleep. Playing is good, but enjoying with the family is better.

Nothing has changed for me. There's not much that can change with a fox. I've been catching chickens, and I'm still catching chickens. :oops: To be honest, I don't plan on skipping tournaments. I'll play every one, hopefully. :poop:

New Year is always a family holiday. Family is more important than poker.

I took time out from poker over the Christmas period to take time with the family. It’s pretty rude to spend time on a pc or tablet when you have visitors around.

I'm going to dedicate a little more to studying poker too, but I'm also going to play a lot.

First of all, when I have a lot of free time, I try to spend time with my family and friends after which, as I spend time with them, I can spend my time by going to training after which I have time to do my business and then I can play poker for the rest of my time and relax

I always think you have to play as long as you have the time of 4 to 6 hours for a tournament! If you have a family emergency that you have to go out and buy clothes, gifts, etc., you have to abandon the tournament, the chances of winning are reduced if we are not 100% in the tournament.
