I left poker because of bad streaks for almost a year until I returned to the real money tables, it was affecting my mind too much, so many bad results and bad beats.

I've taken frequent 6 month to years long breaks from poker because I either get bored with it or I think it's consuming too much of my time.

I don't remember exactly but it was a few years. I was in college and poker was disturbing my study, so, I stopped to play poker a few years until I finished my college.

I also took fairly long breaks, 3-5 months, but my breaks were for other reasons. I play poker 4-5 days a week and 2-3 days I rest, this is the optimal game mode for me.

My poker break is for a week and the reason is that I'm going on vacation with my family, otherwise I can't take a break for other reasons

I was more than 7 years away. After I started to play again, think that just a few weeks.

There are longer and shorter breaks for me, I can't say exactly, but it was sometimes more than a year.

I didn’t play for 3 years, but now I think that in vain, I could earn money during this time.

I also had long breaks. Probably my longest break lasted about half a year. But for the last year, I have not had breaks longer than 1-2 weeks.

Have played poker since the last league game. Haven’t really missed it as other hobbies have taken up the time. Been a long time it seems
