As soon as frustration hits.
If you are a fun player (so not playing it for living) once you dont have fun anymore.
Sometimes it really helps to take a break. If you find it hard, as it got a habit, exclude yourself for few days/week

For me poker is a relaxion, I'm happy when I'm playing and a break lasts so long until I close poker site and go to sleep or when I end the session
i suggest after getting a lot of bad beats or after a good win..lol take some time to rethink and build your strategies look back where you made some plays either good or bad and get better... taking a break is to relax the mind really for all the daily stress of playing this awesome game to release
Taking a break from poker can give you a sense of clarity that was previously so lacking. When you play too often (always when you are awake), your thoughts can be under the constant influence of the game. Many hours of grinding and repeating the same situations also increase the risk of playing on autopilot. It is clear to everyone that if you do not think through your decisions well enough, you will not have the opportunity to maximize your advantage over your opponents.
Taking a break from the game allows you to think about the decisions made at the tables and change what could repeatedly lead to negative sessions. Instead of constantly jumping at the tables in the middle of the game, spend a little time away from the tables, giving yourself the opportunity to clear your mind to evaluate and work out those potential mistakes or problems that may arise in your game in the future.

You should definitely take a break from poker when you don't feel that you will win the next time that you play. Best to completely get away from playing poker for a while or study hard before starting back up again. You should be clear-headed when you come back to the game and the results should be there.
In my opinion the best time to take a break from poker is when you are winning and losing a lot.If you are losing a lot,you have to refresh your mind and stay positive and calm and then after you return to your normal state you should continue.When you are winning too much its better to take a break because people get greedy and thats what destroys them.
How changeable is the game and the attitude towards it . Three days ago I joined the big game again, but at the end of it plus $ 150. What balance I have now is 0. It's just amazing how a streak of bad luck begins to overtake you, and the opponent wins absolutely all the hands against you, even having garbage cards in his hands. I need to rest again. You correctly said I'm tired of everything, I'm tired, I need to rest again!akgross said:
When it looks like you just can't.
When I have that horrible streak of bad beats and have the urge to keep playing to recover the losses, or when Lady Luck seems to be in love with me, and every move I make works and I feel invencible... I log off, and go study something about the game, until the emotions have fade.

Whenever you feel like it. I take breaks whenever I'm tired, when I've got other things to do that require my attention, whenever I've got other things on my mind that bother me and as a result I can't focus properly. I also take a break when I notice that I'm making big mistakes and I don't understand why I've acted as such in those spots. Breaks help clear my mind and during the breaks I read, I analyse and I try to input rules for next time. I also shut off sometimes and do anything else that I enjoy.
