Have you ever thought that if you think that you are on the rise this is just your personal opinion you can confirm with your victories in tournaments or a plus game in cash your personal belief that you are already on the rise?messats said:
No a break of two or three days for me at this stage is probably not enough I need a longer cardinal break and then maybe very maybe try again to sit down at the table but everyone has their own way out of the situation!Scooopy said:

why you need no breaks from poker
You should only play for as much money as you are willing to lose. This leaves poker just a pastime for you. That's why you don't have to take breaks. And the whole thing has one more advantage: You play better. If you play for stakes that you cannot afford, you will play too carefully. You will not get the full benefit of your profits and that is fatal in the long run.

I have a different take on this than most. I have physical damage to my brain that causes me to have an erratic psychological profile. I literally can exhibit the symptoms of several dozen mental illnesses at once. I got back into poker because I am not allowed to work a normal job and have way too much time to kill. My psychiatrist also likes that to play good poker you need discipline and controlled aggression. This means I will play tournaments and review my mental state during it after I have gotten done. If I am tilting, I stop playing, period. If I am feeling hyperactive, I stop playing. I look at how well I was doing estimates of winning when I play and see if that has decreased. If it is, I stop playing. I actually will walk away after a win and not play for a little while, because the feelings can lead to me being unobjective. Your mental state can mean a lot in everything you do. This means that you need to read more than poker books and do poker tutorials to move to the next level in your play. When I played poker full time years ago, I found that enjoying a win was as important as walking away and raising your spirits from a bad loss. I do understand taking a clinical look at poker that many do today, but that leads to people that high rollers do not want to play with. I recently won a tournament online that showed me that it is enjoyable to turn off the computer after and turn on a guilty pleasure show after. I still had bad beats during the tourney, but it was more about me focused on being in the moment than it was for me to dwell on every decision. Mental health has to be considered, so sometimes that means not seeing the felt as often as you want to. Enjoy life and poker will follow.

I usually have breaks not because I want it, but because I am in a country that doesnt allow online poker sites due to my work.... but now, I honestly am think to stop for a while, because of all the runbads I get after going deep in tournaments,and losing crucial flips...
