I do like to play every day, so why wouldn't I? I usually play an hour or two a day. If I were away on a trip for a week or more, I wouldn't have any problem not playing for that time frame. It's just something that I enjoy doing in my spare time.
I'm lucky in that I'm not a consistently winning, high-stakes player. If that were the case I'd probably be playing a lot more each day, and wouldn't be getting to the other things in my life that I should. Thanks goodness for variance.
