The impact of playing online poker for a long time can vary. It has the potential to strengthen cognitive abilities, strategic thinking, and emotional resilience. Endurance in long sessions may build mental fortitude. However, excessive play might lead to burnout, fatigue, and potentially weakened decision-making. Balance is key—combining extended sessions with breaks, proper rest, and ongoing learning ensures a more holistic approach. Online poker can be a mental workout, but its impact depends on how effectively one manages time, health, and the continuous pursuit of improvement.

If you develop as a player, then of course you become stronger.

playing poker for a long time does give you an edge ,but somehow,on the long run,you loose the enthusiasm,and excitement,and that causes some reckless playing even though you might have become a pro.

I think that when you play for a long time, you still become stronger, because you react less strongly to offensive losses.

More you play, more you get experience

however it is the different number of tournaments played (Regular, Sit & GO; KO, Cash Game etc.) that makes you stronger

there will be times where you lose your confidence but playing more certainly gives you experience and makes you a better player
