How do you deal with poker on a day-to-day life?
These days, especially over the weekend, I was very busy and could not play or talk about poker, I confess that I was so tired that I did not want to read anything about it, or even had the slightest desire to play also.
Today I started reading again and playing some tournament, I already feel better after the rest. And you guys, "recreational players", how do you deal with these issues, you play even if you're tired and do the best at the tables?
Thank you for your attention, good luck at the tables...

The good thing about being a recreational player, even if you try to take it quite seriously, is that it is not a job. It is still your hobby whether you want to take your game to the next level or not.

If you like golf, but don't like playing in the rain, you wouldn't play, so why should you play or study poker when your heart just isn't in it that day. For mem that is a guaranteed recipe to lose every tournament you play in. Take a day or two off to refresh and be ready to give your next playing or study session your full attention.

When you get used to meter a quantity of volume of hands it is normal to end up tired, I do not recommend playing like that, it makes you not make the same decisions so to speak fresh. It is better to cut the section and play later. Cheers

everything is correct, to play or not to play, it does not matter, it is important that everything was high

Perfect bro, thank you so much for your comment!

Poker is a hobby. Therefore, I play whenever possible. You need to take a break from poker, too.

That is a good thing when you are a recreational player, it is just hobby and there is no any kind of obligation to play

I understood only one thing that breaks are necessary Because if you are not quite ready tired you will not be able to show a good game in the end you will lose everything!

It's very difficult to concentrate and play well if I feel tired so I will take a rest rather than force myself to play. I just play when I think I'm ready and feel enjoyable.

I'm retired and have quite a bit of free time.

As a recreational play and a member of the best Forum in the World (Cardschat)

I'm able to play in upwards of 12 FREE tournaments a week. These tournaments ususally have about 100 players compared to the Free Rolls on ACR where there are 1,500 players and smaller payouts.

Thankyou Cardschat

:congrats:

I always recommend that for recreational players, a 2 or 3 day break is good for fun.

Hello. As long as I can enjoy the game, I will get involved. I have found over the years, for me, it helps to take a break away at times.
