When do you decide it’s time to stop playing?

[Vovk]

Some sessions just don't help you. How do I know when it is better to take a break?

 

[YLAN]

Take a break when you feel tilted.

 

[SpanRmonka]

I usually just know! Maybe I'm tired, or don't like my decisions, or the way things are going!!

 

[rufininha14]

I think there are days that are really not good, but that's normal, we can't just want to win, lol, that's part of it, but when I've already opened some screens and see that the result is not satisfactory on the day, I don't usually insist, I go back the next day.

I stop to play if I feel tired or if I see that nothing going good in my game. If I loose to much hands.

When you don't have a dime more in your pockets

 

[roberto51]

I have been playing for over 20 years and I absolutely do not feel satiated or tired of playing. I have always played and play in such a way as to get the most out of the game and be happy with the game even when it does not go well. For a long time I have been playing according to a set schedule and I try to stick to it.

once all my monies gone, theres no tournaments or cant keep my eyes open

 

[Johnny78B]

I almost stop to play in poker rooms just playing in Replay for league games and VIP games. pokerstars are not giving good rakes so played over there a while ago. Sometimes play a bit in GG poker.

When I run out all my money , lol 😂

 

[DiazPoker3101]

When I go on tilt, I start making bad decisions.

 

[Iryna Stryzheuskaya]

When you feel that you are not playing your best game, it’s better to take a break.

 

[Cooking]

When I start to get tired and start to make bad decisions then it's time to stop.

 

[istbno]

You should stop playing when you’re mentally tired, emotionally tilted, or not making optimal decisions. If you’ve hit a loss limit, feel frustration, or lose focus, it’s best to take a break. Ending a session on discipline rather than emotion protects your bankroll and keeps your game sharp long-term.

When you no longer want your brain to work and you want to take a break for recreation, I think that's when you want to give up poker games, because, yes, I think that playing poker keeps your brain working as long as you play responsibly.

 

[dzsire]

When you're tired enough and you don't feel like playing anymore.
If you don't enjoy playing, you'll just make bad decisions anyway, because then you're playing out of necessity.

 

[yuriko oyama]

When tilt and frustration are too intense, for me it's time for a break.

 

[EarnDAStack]

If you start to slip into your C and D game it's time to leave the tables for a few mins/hours/days.

With that being said, working on your mental game so you're able to stay in your A and B game longer will make you more money in the long run because you can't really expect to get to a high level of poker while being a glass cannon.

Hope this helps and gives you a way to turn a positive into a negative.

If I get tired of playing, I take a break from the game

 

[odonob]

When I have a bad run and am on tilt, the game is then not enjoyable at that stage, even take a few days off and live a real life.

 

[flabilim]

SIf this is affecting your financial and personal life and it's time for a break, take poker as a leisure and fun, some are at the level of taking it as work

Some sessions just don't help you. How do I know when it is better to take a break?

There are days or even weeks when you just have no luck. How do you identify it? ..... I think everyone understands this for themselves. So, in my opinion, these are the days when it's best to take a break.

 

[stank12345]

when I run out of money lol then its time to go do something else

 

[mssmotilda]

Some sessions just don't help you. How do I know when it is better to take a break?

When you're tired and start making less than optimal decisions.

 

[ramdon p358]

I think you should stop playing when you no longer enjoy it. The good thing is that if you stop playing and over time you become interested again, you can come back.
