Being retired, I take time off from poker as the necessity situation arises. Chores, family obligation, pet walking/playing, and yes even the occasional vacation!

What is the best day of the week to do the day off in your opinion?
Probably Monday. I'm always too lazy to work on Monday :)
But this does not apply to poker. I am willing to play 7 days a week if I have enough free time. Although actually I only play 3-4 days a week.

Any day you have other things to do.
I think it's important to have a life offline.

I would say there is no exact day, it depends on how you are, I warn you to rest when you are in a bad mood

I think it really depends on what you want to do on your day off. Everyone suggest Mondays and Tuesdays but if you like to eat out, for example, Monday is a common day for restaurants to close... Personally, I like to golf on my days off... and Mondays and Tuesdays are great for that. Ferw people on the course....the tees are a bit advanced early week...and the pin placements are not as tucked as at the weekend!

It also depends on the poker you're playing. many of us play exploitative poker. I have to admit, Friday and Sarturday nights are the best nights for exploitative poker. Drunk people cannot help calling. Bully them around for a while and then they'll be ready to snap you with the first whiff of an Ace that they get.

Cheers,
JT

On Friday, I usually devote time with friends, and on Saturday with my family. So most of the time, these days come to me without poker.

I don't need a break from poker, I play poker and rest at the same time. If I want to take a break, I take it regardless of the day of the week.

For me on Saturdays without a doubt
Saturdays are football days and barbecues with friends

Sunday, it is a perfect day to relax and do nothing but rest.

The best days for resting are Mondays and Wednesdays in my case, because I don't work on those days and I use them to relax.

Saturday or Sunday. However, I am
I play mostly cash games, so I choose the days I wrote above. But if I played tournaments all the time, my days off would be Monday or Tuesday, because there are tournaments with bigger prizes on Saturday and Sunday and there are more good tournaments on these days.

Personally, for me I like to take Mondays off and some Tuesdays as well. It's hard to play well and go deep into a tournament when I have a few days of work to go, and I will just be tired for the rest of the week.

I don't like time off or social life, all I can do is play, sometimes I don't play on Friday when there are many players in the 888 freeroll, now that the field is tougher and I only play daily in the Ps and 888 freerolls

I think it should be any day where you have stuff to do or people to meet or when you really need a break

If I could choose it would be saturday or sunday, because these are the days that the rest of my family don't work, but weekends for me are the best days for poker. The worst day for poker in my opinion I think it's friday or monday.

I rarely play on Fridays. Firstly, there are no MTT suitable for me, and I need to rest a little.

My day off is on Monday, but I feel like the best tournaments are on Sundays, so it's hard to say...

Whenever you need a break but you should schedule at least one day off per week.
