Do you play poker on vacation?

[GamingOn]

Taking some fun time in a vacation shouldn't be something you avoid if you do not want to. When I want to play I just sit back and play on the bed or on the chair, on the other hand if you want to be able to have allot of nature fun you can and maybe just get one tournament in before you go to sleep.

Best of luck to you!

I plan most of my vacations around poker. I don't travel that much so when I do I make sure there's a poker tournament that looks interesting.

I think if a person is playing every day, during the holidays to take a break and dedicate this time completely different things that are interesting. And, if a person works hard and have little time for poker, then on vacation, you can afford to play at your leisure.

I do not play poker on vacations. Vacations are family time, mental rest, long naps, reading a good book, taking a tour of some place I've never seen before, maybe finding a really good place to eat something new. Cruises are a great way to do this for me and my family.

Though I am anything but a poker pro, I treat trips to Vegas, Biloxi, or some other busy poker room as a job. I'm there for business. My time is planned around being a winning player.

I exercise in the morning in the gym, enjoy a swim, and then reward myself with a steam, sauna, hot tub, reading a fun book in a lounge chair until I've cooled off enough to enjoy a second round of steaming.

Then I go and play till mid afternoon hunger grabs me, eat a nice meal away from the table, take a long walk, and then back to the table till hungry again. I do not eat at the table unless it is just a quick small snack, because I lose focus and don't enjoy the meal.

If I play in Vegas for 4 or 5 days, then I'll take a day off, away from the table and do some sight seeing, see a show, attend a gun school out in the desert, or whatever just for a day or two long mental break. Then play another several days until it is time to go home.

Las Vegas in my vacation

Yes, my last holyday in Buzios. I won the tournament. The three handed was with one brazilian girl and one french man. I win two hands at the same hand: Q2o. They told me: Are you kidding me? lol.

It was a incredible holiday in Rio de Janeiro, brazil.

I think that you should at least, twice a year, take a break from poker and make a holiday break from everyday life to get some distance from these things and clear your mind.
I do not play poker on holiday with my family.

Most of the time I do not play poker on vacation, that time I dedicate to doing at home the things that I have postponed for work

 

[Tvorets]

Soon I'll go to the sea for two weeks. Play in general will not poker. You need a break from the game.

 

[macha2003]

Most of our vacations to play poker anyway

 

[goaldriversv]

when i vacationed in vegas, absolutely and family always knew. it worked out because between the sports book and poker, the "kids" were covered while the parents would enjoy the slot machines. best to set expectations and no surprises

From tomorrow I’m going to vacation in Albufeira - portugal, and I don’t plan on not playing poker at all at this time, but I will try to reduce the number of games to a minimum !!!

 

[Vander44]

Depends if i want to stay in the good books with the significant other. lol.

Generally yes. I defiantly need my poker fix.

 

[nameless1537]

I am not a hardcore poker player by any means, but I am heading out to our cottage for a week and I do old to play a little poker while I am away... but likely at night after everyone has gone to sleep. Just play some cash games for fun - maybe an hour or two at most. Basically no different than how much I’d be playing at home...

 

[Ranish625]

Hello everybody! Until yesterday I was away with my family on vacation for 7 days so I did not play poker at all. It was a lot of fun, but sometimes I felt the need to play a tournament. I abstained because I did not want to be accused that I can not abstain on vacation either . In your case, what are you doing, how do you do? Play on vacation or do like me, do you have fun, but do you think about poker sometimes? Tonight I am at the table and thank you for your thoughts!

I play only when it gives me pleasure and I'm not busy with anything else, in my life there are interests other than poker

 

[dlam]

My vacations are with family and don’t generally unless we are in Vegas or on a cruise and there is casino nearby. I don’t enter tournaments as too time consuming just table games

 

[successlaw]

I sure it's ok from time to time to take a break from poker and go on a vacation. I suggest to not play any kind of poker at all during vacation.

 

[nameless1537]

I’m away on vacation with my family and another family. Trying to squeeze a game here and there and I can’t do it. Poker will always be there but my kids are growing up fast and we need to cherish our moments with them.

If there is a casino in the area and i get an opportunity to visit, I generally do... as for online poker, not so much, because i like to play naked and scratch where I have to scratch, and smoke what I have to smoke....
BUT IN GENERAL, I find my luck to be very good at new casino's I visit, probably because of the lack of expectation, and habitual tendencies...and knowing this, my family members are more than happy to shop, and drink, and do something else while i'm on a table, passing by ever so often to collect a few chips and shop some more!
In Niagara, I paid for my whole vacation and had money in my pocket going home...
In winnipeg, the drinks flowed and my crew got drunk and we got kicked out.

When I play poker, I rest ...

Generally, the only poker I'll play on vacation are friendly games at home with family/friends. I don't want to spend my vacation time playing many hours at a tournament. I can find other times for poker. Now, my wife and I met playing poker and did our honeymoon (back in 2007) in Las Vegas for the specific purpose of playing poker. So, we played a few tournaments there in between our other site seeing / activities.
