The longest hiatus was 9 years without playing poker, I went back to quarantine, and at this point I think I played every day. I could use a little break of at least one day!

A year or more. In General, I play if I have time.

#4 October 26th, 2020, 3:23 PM

I have been playing poker for over 10 years, and my biggest break was about 2 months. But in fact this break was due to lack of free time.

#5 October 26th, 2020, 3:44 PM

I had the longest break for a couple of days and I don't remember when. Like when there was no light for a long time after the icing, the wires broke.

I played very seriously for 8 years online between 2004 - 2012.

I took 8 years off (2012 - 2020)

I started playing again February 2020. What was your longest Poker-break?

I was without playing poker for about 5 years.
I had other responsibilities and could not dedicate time to the game.

#8 October 26th, 2020, 4:17 PM

There has been no such thing lol - eventhough last time when i couldnt play it for couple days it was because i stayed in Spain lol

About 6 years. The biggest rooms were banned in my country and there was nowhere to play. Meanwhile Pokerstars has obtained a license, a large competitive networks with a good traffic has grown up (GG and ACR). However, it is still forbidden to play poker at 888 or Party poker.
But today there is at least a place where to play online so one reason why not to take break is solved What was your longest Poker-break?

My longest break was around 4 month but due to my city lockdown and quarantine I came back to poker.

#11 October 26th, 2020, 5:43 PM

my biggest poker break was when I lost a month's salary once again at high limits in one day in Hyper turbo multi table games on pokerstars I set self-exclusions for 180 days and no matter how I tried to unblock myself through tech support I didn't succeed.

#12 October 26th, 2020, 6:21 PM

If you mean the time I was away from poker I would say at least two months, but this because the internet service stopped working for that time ☹️

#13 October 26th, 2020, 6:52 PM

Hello. I just came out of a year break. It shows! Shucks.

#14 October 26th, 2020, 7:27 PM

The longest break, about a year.

#15 October 26th, 2020, 7:33 PM

Usually just weeks, sometimes months, one time around 2 years. Too much free time leads me always back...

#16 October 26th, 2020, 7:55 PM

when u hold AA Or KK and u get a bad beat with 7 2 off , is the time you need a break ! I always think what is this algorithm doing and why?
So when the bad beats become more often i loose my believe in the poker platforms. and the breaks can be very long after that.

#17 October 26th, 2020, 8:03 PM

From 0 to about 45 years old, no breaks after that

#18 October 26th, 2020, 8:12 PM

I have been playing fairly regularly for about 11 years. My largest break was for a little over a year and it was just recently. We were moving from one province to another. Selling a house and buying another, so it took some time and was pretty stressful, so poker was definitely not in the picture at that time of my life.

#19 October 26th, 2020, 10:00 PM

The biggest absence, more than a month, and periodically during the week I take a break from the game...

#20 October 27th, 2020, 2:38 AM

About 5 months.

#21 October 28th, 2020, 7:19 PM

a soon as I have found out I wanna be a professional poker player someday and I noticed the special bond between me and poker I have never taken a break. maybe a month but sooner or later if you feel the same you will understand that poker is not just a hobby but it's your work your love and your future and you want to find fame and achievement in poker What was your longest Poker-break?

#22 October 28th, 2020, 7:23 PM

Hello.
I have never had a break of more than two or three weeks. Three weeks is my longest break. Sometimes a break is very useful, but if the break is too long it can negatively affect the development of the player.

#23 October 29th, 2020, 3:07 AM

I went to travel through europe and havent played for 1.5 years once. But i take regular breaks of a few weeks every few months. Even after playing poker for more then 10 years im still not sick of it.

#24 October 29th, 2020, 6:09 AM

#36 October 30th, 2020, 10:00 AM

1 year for me is a lot)

#37 October 30th, 2020, 12:08 PM

Hi.
Approximately twice a year, I take a break for 1-2 weeks, but no more. The break allows me to relax and regain strength. And after the break, my concentration improves significantly and I become more patient.
Good luck.

#38 November 25th, 2020, 12:51 PM

#39 November 26th, 2020, 3:23 PM

#41 November 26th, 2020, 5:24 PM

My poker break has been going on for over three months now, and I think we'll start with the purchase of a new PC at the end of the year.

#42 November 26th, 2020, 6:33 PM
