How often do they take a break from poker rooms?

[dariana Orasma]

I usually take some time to rest and relax; it's important to give your mind and body a break so you can return to your events with more energy.

Since poker is just a hobby for me, I play only when I feel like it, when I’m in a good mood, and when I don’t have more important things to do. I don’t pressure myself, that’s when I get the best results.

Honestly, it really depends on each person. Most of us here are recreational players with other priorities in life. Sometimes I’ll play small tournaments every day for a week, but other times I feel burned out by the time it takes and decide to take a break for a few days, maybe three or five, and then come back more motivated. It all depends on your personal situation, just take breaks whenever you feel you need them.

Taking a break when you realize you're playing too much shows true professional self-discipline. It is an investment to one's future gaming enjoyment. Sometimes the best move you can make is to stop staring at the screen for a while. That being said, I play too much.

I usually take a break when necessary. But basically, I look forward to every evening to participate in my favourite tournaments, and if the game has to be postponed for one reason or another, it always upsets me.

I take breaks whenever I feel like it for various reasons,

right now I'm taking a break and will be playing maybe 2 or 3 games a week at most,

it's good to take breaks and come back refreshed when you feel better about playing👍

Lately I haven't even had time to eat lunch, let alone rest.

 

[gloria_marga]

I don't need to take breaks, because my break is poker 😅.

 

[valeski 28]

I play almost everyday but just a couple of hours

 

[Poker Orifice]

Breaks? I feel like I get rusty very quickly. If I take a few days off, I forget how to play. I play every day.

I'm actually 4-tabling 25nl rush & Cash right now while answerng this post

I've skipped years. Back in the day, when I wasn't working, I could easily fit in several hours of gaming a day, but this is almost impossible with work, family, and personal life.

 

[Fosterbio]

In general, it depends on my mood. If I feel like playing, I play for 36 hours. If I'm not in the mood, I don't play at all.

 

[puzzlefish]

I usually take a break at least once a day

 

[LuTsu]

Sometimes I like to take a few weeks off from a specific site when I start leveling too much with some players, just to reset and avoid tilting.

 

[moraeskvmi]

So, Christmas and New Year's come into play in the game. And on Fridays I only play quick things.

 

[boxwaxer]

With mobile Apps and cell phones almost never take a full breaks. A few days a time maybe

 

[Ketoupitou]

My schedule don't allow me to play often so my breaks are often.

 

[veszmo]

Since I only play tournaments, mostly freerolls, I play when they are held. I usually have time to rest and relax in the forenoon.

Due to the German government's regulatory frenzy, which also affects online poker, players based in Germany receive no rakeback at all or only reduced rakeback as ROW players, depending on the provider.
Although I have plenty of time, I take longer breaks for this reason and perhaps play only 5% of the volume that I actually could.

The regulations that exist in Germany are extremely demotivating, and I don't see why I should fill the pockets of this shitty government as well.

 

[mrfastflow]

Once every hour for 5 minutes

 

[CaioRJ]

When i stressed with Bad Bet, i play so bad when as tilted, so better take off on game.

 

[letpic]

A really break I do after 7-8 hours of grind
