seeyouthru · Sep 11, 2018

so my school last year final exams are like 1 month away and i am playing lot of poker and recently been through downswing!
should i do both things study for exams and play poker or take a 2 month break?

I'd have to assume school should be more important than online poker...

Exclude yourself from playing for 30 days or however long is required via the software. That is your best shot at not getting distracted.

School is way more important. Even if you were on an upswing take the break study up, and when you have the time poker will still be here.

Break from poker, after school, u can play poker a lot

Take the break, school will help you in the long run. Poker will still be there when you are done with school.

Take the break away from poker and come back fresh.

Should you work or screw the pooch, hmmmmmmmmmm tough one. Common sense doesn't answer this one for you, I wish you much good luck.

MarineCJ · Sep 11, 2018

Finish your Studies/Exam. Your downswing may actually be helped by taking a break and come back fresh. Not to mention School is way to important in the long run than Poker.

So stop it and get to studying. Seriously, that it 1000000000000000000000000 times more important. Priorities friend.

School has to be the priority, for sure. Poker's way more fun but a two-month break is well worth good marks (and your future career)!

ff48 · Sep 11, 2018

If your winrate is less than 5bb/100, better take a break.

vpashuta · Sep 11, 2018

Take a break , poker isn't going anywhere and often a break is good.

Just give me the Name of your School teacher and go play poker.

Destruct51 · Sep 11, 2018

Play micro stakes and freerolls for a while, break doesn't hurt. But poker has swings, and we run hot and cold. its a game of variance online!!

gabpoker · Sep 11, 2018

You should study for exams and when you need a break study poker! Good Luck on you exams.

Pablo22 · Sep 11, 2018

Take a break and concentrate on your studies. When you come back from your break you will probably play better without the school work on your mind. Good luck.

uriell · Sep 12, 2018

Of course, take a break.

seeyouthru · Sep 12, 2018

Thank you everyone.
you have been a great help

Continue to play and gain more experience in the game, if you play badly, it's better to play a lot of freerolls so that you can then play normal tournaments, or play tournaments well at 0.10 cents and more and gain experience and then you can go to normal tournaments too for 1-5-10 dollars, or in a cash game try to play on small stakes and you will learn how to play so that later you can play normal games and win normal money!

Asking random strangers online about important life decisions says alot about you,,,, Stay in school.
