I don't know , I think a break does not depend on your further game.
So it turns out the experience is!
It is clear that rest is sometimes needed , it is needed!

The break gives the chance to have a rest from a game. It is better to carry out the analysis of the game at this time

A break is great idea and then come back to poker with a fresh head. You could also study poker and do other stuff to improve your game without actually playing.

I have taken very long breaks at times strictly for the reason I played so often that I made myself sick of it. So yes sometimes breaks are good.

of course it's good to take breaks between games in poker, to refresh the mind and then a more responsible approach to the game

of course it is! playing over and over tires body and the mind a lot. when you have a break the mind also still analyzes the game and this contributes to your learning process.

It is always best to have a break after some bad downswing. Or if you don't feel the same hunger to play poker. Just the habit to hit the buttons for several hours could become an illness and the only cure is the break.

When I encountered some really bad beat in an important game, a break of some days often helped me to clear my head

Sometimes staying a few days or even weeks without playing can refresh your head? I see for myself, sometimes when I do not play for a few days, when I come back I get a better mind and I make more correct decisions. It looks like it's filtered and I can play better. With you, is that so?

its that a short-term success?

One night wont prove anything because of the variance. However breaks do help you to balance.

I take breaks occasionally when I feel like i'm getting worse. I would use that gap to read books & analysis game plays more.

As in any business course need reasonable breaks in the game. but sometimes it is very difficult to break away from the game, it seems to be addictive

A break need to do when the poker is not fun. If there is a thirst for the game - you need to start playing.

A break is necessary even when you have a streak of wins because you need to relax, do other important things in life, chill and chill and chill and forget poker. This will stimulate your mind more and you end up with another winning streak.

If it gets boring due to the casino machine sounds and don't know whether its dark or day time outside, you need a break

Once, it got so bored, that thinking about playing in casino made be puke. I couldn't even think about poker for months. I was afraid thats the end of poker fun. Took nearly 6-7 months break before playing again and i played tournament and it was simply enjoyable. After that I only play once in a week/twice because i hate the constant sounds of casino as well as constant chip sounds and hate meeting terrible lowlifes. You would be surprised how many people you meet in a table, you would normally never meet in your life. Online is fun in that way that you just don't care whom you play with.

This helps the pervasive nature that you do not get better clear his head, but too long breaks should not do it, poker is changing very rapidly

I think it's very crucial to have a time off, take time to do other things, reflect, rest, etc.It's vital to have a balance in your life, also the way I perform gets better after having a break.
