I do not intend to quit playing poker soon. In fact i have the opposite problem sometimes - i want to play but i have other things to do. Too much things to do and too little free time. :)

I started playing in 2003 and had stopped playing in 2007. I was taking vicious stretches of variance. Little did I know a lot of that could've been avoided. I played like if I was ahead in the hand but behind on the odds I'd just jam every time. So I stopped. Occasionally I'd play but nothing to serious. I resurfaced in October and I'm researching as much as possible and playing a often as I can to become the player I felt I could always become. Youth and arrogance kept me from educating myself now I don't plan on ever walking away

everyone has this moment, I had yesterday when I lost 3 tournaments in which I was in a good position with KK, but it passes, I play because I like but I have a feeling that losing with the best card is part of the game. Business and move on and open another tournament

Never thought about stopping just wish it had been about when I was younger.

I always think about taking a break from the game or even quit the game but still play.

Poker brings me pleasure. So I did not think about quitting the game. But if something bothers you, it's better to quit for a while. A little time will pass and perhaps the desire to play will return. There is my opinion

I as a recreational player have no problem in stopping, I have not played for a long time, but I know that there are people who are addicted and probably should have many problems in stopping, I believe that if you get to that point, it is better to seek help, because tendency is just having problems with the game

i have no reason to quit playing poker i like it and i earn some money. i´m actually playing less hour and shorter games, i have a life... i know that spending more hours playing slow tournaments can be profitable but im not going to kill the rest of my interest just to earn more money. i don't sell my freedom.

A lot of times when I'm playing and I get my stack chopped or I get knocked out of a tournament on the river, I think to myself "what a bunch of crock!", "I should stop playing this s@$t!" But then the next hand or game starts and it's "shuffle up and deal"

I have no desire to stop playing because even have besides I make income targets very happy to play poker tournaments of large fields is very engaging new opponents and you adapt to new gamblers always very dynamic both online and in live poker is fun and very ludico
What we need is to have discipline to play well and evolve in the game

How often would you like to quit playing poker, but could not?
I ussualy thought to quit playing poker after i lost quite a lot money😝 or when i'm pissed off because i lost with good cards against shity cards 😝😂 but are only temporary thoughts 😂😂😂.I believe poker has the same effect as a drug has on people so it's pretty hard to quit playing 😜.

As mainly a tournament player I often run really deep in a tournament just to take a bad beat and get knocked out right before the final table. It feels horrible and almost like a complete waste of time, but something keeps me coming back to poker. I guess it's because when I do get a final table and get a nice payout the feeling is just great.
