At What Point Do You Need to Take a Break From the Tables?

[etouu79]

generally at the time when the negative streak comes and I start to lose, but it is so continuous until the moment I have to have dinner.

I don't have the break time when event A or B occur, but I have to admit I lose more money when I'm tired, and I have to learn to pause when this time comes.

You should learn to recognize the moment when you are too tired and/or tilted so that you no longer play your best game. When that happens it is time to leave for the day.

I believe in brew and fag rule after 3 or 4 tables

 

[zipocool]

when you get tired or there are solid bad beats on the river it is a good idea to take a break for a while

 

[viacheslavtezikov]

I personally take a break after a long session, for example, after two hours of cash games. You can't take such a break at a tournament.

Unless you're a professional poker player, I know it's time to take a break when poker start to affect my daily tasks, like in my job or with my family.

Trebuie să recunoști momentul în care ești prea obosit sau nu ai chef de joc , astfel încât să nu mai joci cel mai bun joc. Când se întâmplă acest lucru, este timpul să lasi pentru a doua zi , sau sa-ti impui o limita la bankroll sa zicem 20 % .

in tournaments, after three hours of play, you just need to stop for 15-20 minutes. there is a loss of concentration.

When I am, what I like to call "Pokered out" Last year I had a target to double my bankroll, playing On-line because my Live event's were closed due to the Pandemic.
I only ever played On-line as a hobby in the past, and would only play at weekends when I didn't have anything better to do, My live game's were my first choice, so On-line Poker was always just for fun.
I felt that "If" I considered myself to be a reasonably competent player, I should have no trouble doing so On-line as I have done in Live game's, so I pushed myself to play every day for small stake's and built on my original bankroll.
I hit my Target within the year's end and since then have only played in Free-rolls and the occasional buy-in to keep my Treasure Chest's active on pokerstars, for the last 12 month's.
Why? Because I know I can do it if I wanted to, I have now almost Trebled my original starting Bankroll which was only $209. Dollars at the start of the Covid out-break, but I still prefer to play On-line, just for Fun!

When the fun Stops, STOP!

Looks like we need to treat poker as stock market, that we have to find out when is best time to enter the poker table, and when to take profit or stop loss.

 

[moularaki]

need a break right now
chrismas and family but too many good presents from cardschat on PS

 

[mtmigmike]

I'm taking a break for food or bathroom.

 

[fernandofcp]

I believe that after 2 hours of play it is necessary to take a break of at least 20 minutes. With this, the mind improves its reasoning after a short rest.

 

[Izzeee]

Everyone is different, I'd say a soon as you see yourself making small mistakes.

 

[mclay]

When you play MTT, there is no choice and there is only a 5 minute break at the end of each hour. Therefore, cash games are much better in this regard, you have much more freedom of choice.

 

[jason2626]

I usually don't take a break when it's time if I need something go to the bathroom or what not I'll do that, but I see it being a good thing to have them

At what point in the game do you have to take a break and leave the table for a while?

Everytime there is a pause in tournament I stand up and walk around trying to think of something but not poker.... that way when I come back at the table, my mind is reset. If there's something on tv or a good song - helps a lot.

 

[rdwr33]

I always like every hour, walking, eating and solving pending messages.

 

[Gah_JEC_13_Joi]

At the point my chips zeroes.

 

[KRANKES]

I mostly play tournaments, so there's a break every 55 minutes.

Hello

At what point in the game do you have to take a break and leave the table for a while?

In the event that I folded a weak hand and it was the strongest on the board or was exposed to the badbeat, yes I leave the game and do not even see what is distributed to me. lol

 

[messats]

Away from the tables

At what point in the game do you have to take a break and leave the table for a while?

If you play a lot of min to mid range cash or real money buy-ins and you're on a bad beat streak, or even when you dont feel 100 percent, this would be the time to take a break, from the game and do something totally different from poker, refresh, reset your self , its better to take a break than to continuously be on tilt

I hate when 5 min is not enough....
