Each player has different situations. In my case, if I play badly, I have a break 1 day

When you feel yourself going on tilt, when you make bad calls, when you make bad bluff attempts that fail miserably. When your bankroll is doing a landslide. When your eyes start bugging out on you from staring at your phone or computer or tablet screen for too long. These are the times I think it's a good idea to take a break from poker. Not just the 5 minute break either but like a solid 6 hours at least.

depends on each player in my opinion ... for example, I broke the bank several times because I kept playing for a long time. take a break is really important!:top:
 
When you are not enjoying it anymore and it is becoming a job or a chore. It's a very easy way to kill your drive.
 
When your willing to play breaks your healthy schedule( resting/sleeping ).
Or when you notice that you playing not your A game, it is good to take a break and restart performing protocol with more concentration 😀
 
When you are changing your usual sleep schedules or when you start to strain your mind from excessive play
 
You can't play more than you can afford. You have to look out for friends, family and other important things in life.

Yes, I absolutely agree, because we are surrounded by our relatives and friends, they also need to pay attention.

I do not agree, how can you relax when the game is on and you are striving to become the best? I have to constantly make decisions and respond to attacks directed against me!

I want to say once again that the game is for me. poker is not a vacation, it's hard work, which? it requires a lot of attention and nervous strength. it is very nice if you can relax while playing. Good luck.

1 day of rest may be very good for you, but for me, it will probably be more necessary to take a long rest.

Or you can only play freerolls, as one of the options

Not if I'm tired? there are no forces to play even cows there also need to carry out what actions. and if I'm tired, then no action related to poker or casino for me? very heavy, so rest. with all tolkovo nature and family.

If the game is delayed, then I do not have any schedule for recreation and recovery, only the game, of course, then comes a difficult period.
 
I'd say when you're playing at your best and can't win or cash in tournaments or cash games. It's best to take the rest of the day off in my experience ����*♂️
 
When things are not going well i always stop for a day or two. I can concentrate better afterwards and have forgotten the bad days, otherwise i will stay in that negative mode and lose a lot more.
 
you should take a break when you have a losing streak you lose even with AA even if you have the best pre flop or post flop hand it will always kill you the river
 
if you start thinking that maybe you should take a beak from something, you should probably take a beak from it.....
 
How to know when you should stop playing?

El póker es un juego muy atractivo. Considero que es la mejor manera y lo digo desde mi punto de vista y como un consejo para todos es que si estás perdiendo dinero o estás en una "mala racha", lo mejor que puedes hacer es aléjate de las mesas de dinero real juega freeroll descansa comparte con tu familia toma unos minutos para pensar y luego regresa con una mente fresca porque nada más arriesgado que dejarse llevar por la emoción y no darse cuenta de cuánto está perdiendo😀​

I think that poker is no different than anything else in life that sometimes you need a break from it to detox and replenish your mental fortitude. When poker starts to strip you of your patience and causing you undo anxiety and stress then you need to walk away and take a much needed break.
