As I have mentioned before, different strokes for different folks.

Some feel it important to take a complete break for their well being. Fair enough, then they should do so of course.

However, as a general rule, I prefer to scale back than take a total break. The reason being variance (the bad luck, the algorithm, the whatever) will always be there to deflate you on any given day. I believe if you take poker seriously (nothing to say anyone has to) then dealing with those setbacks is an integral part of the game. It cannot actually be removed or lessened and it will dog you, period.

So, call me a masochist, but I attempt to develop the mental strength to weather any poker storm.

It is not as though I believe it a route to any great poker epiphany either. I simple believe if you are going to engage with poker from a realistic perspective- I'll repeat realistic- then the sooner one absorbs downswings come with the territory, the better.
