First of all you need to know what is going on. Then you can decide whether it's better to move on or stop.

When wanting to call it a game i will play more loosely. Unless i get a couple of good wins to reinstill my motivation, i am pretty much playing to be devoured.

That's a tough one. Usually helps not focusing on motivation, just doing one small step (for a mankind... ) and then the next one, and...

The best thing when you are not motivated to play is to rest for a while to get new energies

If I'm tired I never start the game. But in general, this happens very rarely, and mostly I always have the motivation to play poker. I just love this game.

There is no reason to force yourself to play, you wont play as well and you wont enjoy it.

Hi, friend)
I think I will never get bored of poker. Although there are times when I take a break. More often it can be associated with losses, and I stop so as not to bring everything to a breaking point.

Just make a brake from poker, and come back when you feel the passion for the game once more.

In such cases, the easiest thing is to look for something else to do.
Let's face it, there's a lot going on in the world besides poker. We are not robots.
I guess this is not the only hobby you have. You have to make time for other people.
Perhaps it is not by chance that there are unmotivated periods. They open our eyes to the fact that it is time to deal with something else.

If you are not motivated to play, consider the possible reasons why you are having difficulty. Then develop a plan to help you motivate yourself to take action. You may be able to trick yourself into feeling motivated by changing your attitude. Pretend that you feel motivated, due to this action, your emotions will change. If you are not motivated from the inside, then no matter how hard you put in, the end result will be worse than that of a more enthusiastic person.One of the most important reasons why you lose motivation is not enjoying the game.

you have to stop playing, do something outside the world of poker to motivate you, watch a movie, anime, listen to music, take a walk, anything that helps you. Playing tired or without motivation in poker is dangerous, the chances of losing a lot are high.

So player, when you get tired of the game, what do you do to reverse that feeling.:jd4:
Personally, I try not to play in that state of mind.

If I am not motivated to play, I simply do not play, remember that the mental state will influence the performance of your game, so without motivation it will be better to spend your time on something else and then when you recover the desire to play, return to the tables
