😎 when I earn good money, to forget about the economic problems, and be stable, in all senses, or in the good sense of the word.
 
Breaks are a good thing

Years ago I was playing between 12 or more hours a day. And I lost a lot of money because I would be real tired and real depressed, and always trying to get my money back. That never did work. Now I take breaks all through out a week of playing. Like if I play a 5 or 6 hour tourney, I don't play much the rest of the day. In my opinion, no matter if you are winning or losing, you should take at least one day a week away from the game.

You should stop playing when you're not happy.
Unless it's your job you should only do things you enjoy!
 
You should stop playing if you have responsibilities to fulfill, if you are not on a good streak and if you are somewhat released !!

Everything is correct, but how much time to take a break?
 
😎 Well, I consider that poker is a game where you need to dedicate time, if you are really good at this, you have to try to play professionally, and dedicate the hours, regulations, as long as you are successful, and with a few good results...
 
Poker

in poker ,these failures are especially common,that's why it's poker, but at the same time it teaches incredible discipline and I think this is a great quality)

Yes, it is very sad when you have excellent cards in your hands and lose to some laser that plays 7 2.

Discipline, this is a very necessary quality in poker, do you want to say that this quality should give an answer to when to say stop the game?

Yes I agree when you force yourself to come and sit down at the table as if this is a mandatory job then you do not get satisfaction and joy from it it's time to say stop!
 
you can think is a pure mental game but its not. In the long run you can be profit but in the short way you will lose even playing right.

Stop to play because this is a game and you are not dealing with it in the right way. When you came back, don't matter how much time have passed, you will joy it again.

and if you are felling adictive some how stopping to have a weathy life because you are playing too much you should give it a break too.
 
When your grinding poker and then jumping around trying to make money other ways like betting on game, playing in the casino and then flushing your hard earn roll u won the night before and waste all that time. That’s when it’s time to take a break

It's called tilt, a very dangerous state of mind when you lose control.
 
I think it's good to take frequent small breaks.
If you are not feeling at 100% it's best to have a long break/stop imo

Itake breaks , sometimes for days , sometimes for weeks . To clear my head and get off bad runs. I will also take breaks from sites where I am not doing as well as I should.
 
I always take a break when I start feeling tired, I think it affect my performances and focus when I play tired!
 
TAKE A BREAK

i have to take breaks to stay sane
so ez to get a negative attitude if
youre having long sessions bad beats etc

run in MLB history !!!

I agree, but you should also stop playing when you are bored with the game and it's not fun anymore.
 
The question is interesting. I play about 80 hours a week. When more, when less. What to do with ITM? We must try to get into the ITM zone 🙂 and win.
Can there come a time when I will stop playing poker completely? - That time will surely come.
 
Like with anything in life. If you feel like you need a break, then it's time to take one.
