Too much poker?

LifeLab · Apr 30, 2017

Hi all,

I love the game of poker and am completely fascinated by the social and logical complexity of it. Do you think that one can play it to much? I take one day off a week but that's it. What do you all think?

...you try to apply EV to everyday life?Although that's actually handy. Good at poker => analytical thinking => better decisions regardless of situations

It is your life. And you decide what to do in it.

I agree, you plan your day.

If you are mad like most players.You can play 6 days at week and 12h per day.

what kind of routine do you guys have? im playing live all tuesdays night and sporadically online

My day off is Monday. I start at 6am and end around 11pm. I take 3 one hour breaks during the day to keep me balanced.

I play every evening when I come home from work, poker helps me relax.

That would be much too much for me. Do not you have a reduction in your results? What are you doing in the 3 hour break you go out?

Playing every day (regardless of whether the whole day or only in the evenings), a person easily gets tired mentally and physically. And even if it is good to sleep and eat, the brain still gets tired and he needed rest. When you play a lot, all thoughts are busy with the game, for a day the human experiences a lot of emotions. It's stress for the whole body. I believe that it is necessary to take a break in a few days at least once in 2-3 weeks, completely forgetting about poker.

Sometimes you just need a couple of days off but if you can maintain your A game while playing this much than keep going.

I have about 2 months now where I'll have quite a bit more time to play so will probably play a couple hours most days online and then hopefully a day or two a week live for 6-9 hours a session. But return to live probably won't come until June so will be grinding my challenge online in meantime which has naturally fallen into a schedule of playing multiple smaller sessions a day on days I play (1-3 hr sessions). But I definitely have times where I won't play for a week or more either because of being really busy or just not feeling it; and we want to be feeling it to play well!

I play every day, and I'm getting more and more drawn. Very exciting game every day new emotions.

I play sometimes every day, sometimes on weekends, karoche as poluchaetsya, but I like to play ..

LUDOPATIA: The gambling is a disorder in which the person is forced by a psychologically uncontrollable urgency to play and bet, persistently and progressively, negatively affecting personal, family and vocational life.

I think we are all ludopatos with poker.

gjwalk · May 1, 2017

You can play too much if it's affecting your life in a negative way. Skipping important events to play poker or losing the rent payment for example. Poker can be fun and sometimes profitable but I'm betting most people playing the game would be far better off putting their money into some mutual funds instead.

I usually play in a the evenings every day except the weekends when I can play more.

Poker does not happen a lot, I play every spare minute and it's enough for me!

LifeLab · May 1, 2017

I'm at a point right now where I've allocated enough time and to play/learn poker on a semi serious basis. When I'm not playing, I enjoy life outside of my house, go for a jog or hang out with friends.

TheNutz4You · May 2, 2017

I play atleast a freeroll a day. most times a few 1.10 mtts and 1c/2c cash games

bravissim0 · May 2, 2017

I play poker almost all my free time, if it does not affect your health, then everything is fine

PapaC · May 2, 2017

In my opinion you do whatever works for you. You really have a plan,so just stick with it. And it want hurt you at all to take some other breaks. I call my cleaning the apt. as a break, and I get me a good hot shower after that, and it's like magic. When you feel good, you will play good. Just from my experience of my last 2 weeks, I have not felt good at all, and I know if I play, I WILL lose. Sometimes you have to make yourself get away from the game and clear your mind.

If you played all day and always was in +, then why not, and got a lot of fun from the game.

grinya774 · May 2, 2017

I play until I feel tired.

LifeLab · May 2, 2017

Thank you for all of your posts.

I think I'm doing the right thing because i love doing. Once a week I take a day and do something completely different. I do agree that when I feel good I play good.

Too much poker?
