There are times when I force myself to play or study poker, and sometimes it took effort to force myself to stop playing because I was immersed in the process and did not see what was happening around. In fact, a person can live for several days without water, several weeks without food and only a few minutes without oxygen. Well, nothing is said about poker there) Therefore, you just need to be able to set priorities in life correctly and you will have enough time for everything you really need and are interested in
Preventing an obsession with playing poker requires mindful awareness and setting boundaries to maintain a healthy balance between poker and other aspects of your life. Establish specific time limits for your poker sessions. Decide in advance how much time you'll spend playing each day or week, and stick to those limits. This prevents poker from taking up too much of your time. Proper bankroll management helps you avoid overspending on poker. Set clear limits on how much money you're willing to invest in the game, and stick to these limits to prevent financial strain. If you are incapable to do it by your will power, most poker software has an option of daily buy-in limits, which can not be changed instantly. That would help 😉
Yes, I lived without poker for almost two month from March 9th, oh ya I had stroke, paralyzed my left side. Almost two months to get things moving again. See to stop playing for a while, but I do not recommend it. hahahahaha.DanielNeg said:
Hello, there is no such thing as sitting and playing poker from morning to night, your back will say goodbye!DanielNeg said:
In addition to poker, you should have other things to do, go out with your friends, your girlfriend or walk your dog.
Can I?
That's the question that I ask myself from time to time.
I was able to stop playing for several months, but unable to not watch poker games on YouTube or Twitch.
Now I am playing much less than I was before, because I need my job XD.
Gl at the table, and no need to give up poker, just give up losing.

Well I can't live a day with poker lol 24 hours of poker , that would drive me crazy , all the stupid R bots and crazy players. Even 10 hours session is killing me . Many times after 2 hours I will abandon the session , when I feel I am being fu**""
Well, for me, usually works like this: recently earned money on tournaments, the next day I'll want to play more. Had a big loss recently: I'll play the next day without any pleasure (and usually not on my best), I just play these days cause I need to. But this could be a good criteria; when you're at a downswing, it's time to make less buy ins and dedicate more time to improve your game in other ways. Sometimes, just to stay a while occupying your mind with other stuff can be beneficial to your game the next day.DanielNeg said:

There will be a time you just get tired ether physically or mentally so you will need to take a break every so often. I have taken about a month off from poker a few times over the years, but most are about 7 to 10 day breaks. This is usually when I am just not feeling it of just plain tired and need more sleep. What I do during these times more often than not is study. Usually when I come back, I play much better than I was. In the last year+ life has gotten in the way of playing and I haven't played as much but I have worked on my game totally the whole time and my results have been great.DanielNeg said:
