Do You Take Breaks From Playing Poker

[Nomad]

I do not play a lot and I frequently take breaks. These breaks are not intentional, it just happen that I don't find myself in a mood to play. Do you take breaks, do you find taking time off uncomfortable or relaxing. Do breaks reset your mindset, or expose burnout and dependency that you normally don’t notice while playing regularly?

I take a lot of breaks. I also encourage others to take more breaks. You will get better results, if you play with a clear state of mind.

I definitely agree with that. It’s the best way to clear your head. Get your mindset back on track. Otherwise you carry over bad beat then regrets and that will lead you to disaster..

Honestly, breaks are important, no matter the game. Anything that messes with your head needs a break. I’ve seen people get too carried away, especially after long sessions, and that’s when mistakes happen.

I don't play poker but I get what you are saying about needing breaks. Even with stuff I do regularly, stepping away helps me reset mentally. When you are not in the mood that's actually your brain telling you something maybe you need distance.

I don't play regularly and when I play it is usually between 7-10 days, sometimes even 20-30 days. At rhe table, sometimes I take breaks especially when I am losing. I usually join a game after 5-10 minutes
