Message: [QUOTE="jsnake716, post: 6202732, member: 221827"] 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. [/QUOTE]
