What was your longest time without playing poker?

Lose yes, never give up

How many times do we think about giving up playing poker because we only lose,
I believe that on many occasions we are not playing focused enough to win.
Poker is a strategy game, and when we play in the long run it comes back for sure!
Who ever thought about giving up halfway and stop playing?

What was your longest time without playing poker????

ONE HOUR
ONE DAY
ONE MONTH OR MORE

My longest time without playing poker was about 3 months, the time I was with my account frozen in pokerstars due to problems in the change of residence.

With this form of play, did you notice any changes?
When we spend some time without playing, it seems that everything changes, and the game fares much better, I believe in continuity, but I do not rule out sometimes to take a break, this is healthy.

My longest break in poker is half a year. I realized that my skills are not enough. And frankly tired of poker.

The maximum I was without being able to play poker was 3 months because luckily my computer had burned .. then I could buy a cell phone to someone who did not sell it so expensive so there I could download the application of pokerstars and play certain Games since draw format does not allow you and is an exciting game for me ...
Then 2 weeks ago or rather a week I could buy a neet for my birthday so now I can play again what I like and post on cardschat to be part of the membership of this wonderful place.

I quit after a bad beat in a casino where I lost a couple thousand on a river suck out. Took a hiatus for 10 years from the game because I was afraid of repeating my past, well. ......I'm back to my mistakes lol

I gave up poker for about a year or just under a year, I gave it up when I firstly started playing due to tilt and thinking that the odds were always against me etc. till I started watching pros play and then realized that I just never knew what I was doing. Then I started learning the real rules and I got back into it in no time ;)

my longest time not playing poker resulted from a series of bad beats in cash games. I stopped playing for about 3 and half months. Had to really get those losses out of my system, when i did came back had a lot of catching up and brushing up to do
