Hi all!

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!

Luck :ah4::ac4:

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.

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. :)

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

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 :D

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

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.

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 ☹️

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

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.

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.

poker break

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:cool::)

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.

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.

The longest time has been a month, I have never left it for more than that time and the reason was for vacations, I have always been very active for about 10 years:jd4::jd4::jd4::jd4:
