Too much poker????

Mati532 · Nov 13, 2021

I play poker every day, but lately I play 2 hours and I get stressed, needing to get out to get some fresh air. I am interested in all the points of view of all the boys, I largely agree.

I think it will depend on yourself, not every day is the same, sometimes you wake up with the desire to have long sessions of playing poker, other times with little desire, so, in general each one will put the schedule to your game, always not to abuse it.

So play less. To make fewer mistakes

I myself go through cycles. Sometimes for months at a time, I will play 8-10 hours per day. Then I will feel a little burned out. As soon as I feel that I am not playing my best, I will cut back on hours or days at the tables. I am lucky enough that I do not need to grind X number of hours. Poker has become my 2nd stream of income. I pay my rent, and food with my 1st income. In my opinion, I have a pretty ideal situation. The first thing you must do, is define your situation, not to "us" but to yourself. Be realistic, are you earning a living from poker? If yes, you might not have the luxury of taking time off whenever you want. It still might be what you need but maybe you can only take 1 day off the grind. Many times we want someone to tell us we are doing right. In reality, that is a personal decision and you must learn to be honest with self. Good Luck and don't drown in self-doubt.

For a more effective game, I have formed a rule of sessions for myself, 1 session lasts no more than 2-3 hours. If more, then I lose

When is enoughs enoughs...when is it break time when do you walk away.and yes when do u run...inotice that I play my best when I first start playing for the day and as I progress through the day I get looser and at theendof a10 hour session I'm seeing almost every hand without realizing..thinking I'll just out play him after the flop knowing that there seen a lot my tricks for the last few hours and are catching on to me

I find it's best to stick to a schedule if you're a tournament player. Planning how many tables you'll play in a day with the expectation you'll make a deep run in at least 1-2 of them helps me avoid playing too many tables at once, or past my best.

There was a period in university where i played for months, every day/night instead of going to classes, studying, etc. We weren't even playing for much but it might have been a phase, of hanging out with a common activity, and after that cold turkey for years

when the joy of playing disappears

, of course seriously if you manage to make bigger gains, you should take a few days off, at least to enjoy the winnings.

I play every day, but so far practically at 0. I think I can allocate 1-2 days a week to work on the game. Because there is not enough time to combine the game and work on the game.

Every week u should have at least 2 "poker free" days. And twice a year 2 weeks "poker free" and you will be ok (sounds like a job

)

Just straight here. Being stressed and needing fresh air are not problems, just go and get them, find your pace.

Secondly, assuming poker is your job or your main source of income as otherwise you wouldn't be asking this, it depends how obsessed you are and how much you want to achieve and succeed. If you'd rather be stuck in a job for 8-12 hours without an option to get fresh air, then go for it. Poker is not an obligation, it's a choice..

If it's just a hobby, then it's even more of a choice so stepping away from it does not affect your well being..

Yes
too much poker

Sham3415 · Nov 20, 2021

The truth is I really like poker today with my husband I play it he does it more times since my job only allows me at night due to the schedules, even so I try to make that time!

ppartizan2 · Nov 20, 2021

For me,its enough playing the freeroll tournaments,because i have nothing to lose.Sometimes i play cash,but not too much,because it leads to frustration and anger,which will just drag you down.So for me optimal dose of poker is a tourney and maybe 2hr on a weekend of cash games.

Natasha Veneska · Nov 20, 2021

My problem is when I win big enough I dont know when to stop. My only flaw...knowing when to stop, and not give it back. I need to cash out, and come back with a small amount a couple days later. My most recent big win was when I won $2800 in a tourney back in June, and gave back $2400 sigh.

Maybe sometimes you just need to afford a little vacation? Just do other things for a couple of days ... Go for a walk (best in nature), spend more time with family or friends, or just do what you like during this time

These short breaks are sometimes very helpful in refreshing your head.
