quit? no. Have many of times taken a break to revive my drive for poker. Sometimes I go through stretches where I play poker, but could care less about playing good. Put it all in with garbage just for the lol's <<<<< not smart.

NOT! I don't think I'll ever give up. Why give up something I like? There are a lot of people who, if they have a worse period and lose some money, quickly think about giving up ... do you do that in your daily life when you run into obstacles? You have to have the ability to get over it, you can't just have bad times, everything is spinning!

I am sure that every poker player has thought about giving up poker and this is normal, and moreover, there are quite a few of those who quit playing and came back.

I have never thought of quitting but do get fed up during downswings and therefore take a break now and then for a few weeks. I tend to play more in the winter months so this is when I usually need a break or two. For the rest of the time I'm playing only when I can, and only for some recreation, so I don't get as frustrated when running bad.

I quit when DON ends in pokerstars.

I'm not the best tournament player in online.
But I want to learn it
In early period I'm not so bad but when we arrive to ITM I simply run out of momentum

man, what do you mean give up? Is it important to think about why you play poker, is it to make money? is it a hobby? I believe you have to align your expectations to reality, it's no use dedicating little time and expecting excellent results, another thing, as poker is a competition, you have to be eager to win, like a basketball athlete, mma, etc. ..

Not always lucky in poker, as well as in life, and you have to put up with it.:(:)

Before thinking about such a question, you need to determine what goals you set in the game. Is it entertainment for you or something else. Besides, playing poker takes up some of your time. Quitting poker - you will have this time and it will be necessary to fill it with something. And if you find something to do that will cover the freed up time, then the question of stopping playing poker is quite acceptable.

Most people quit.

Many of them multiple times daily.

I did consider it because I didn't always have options to play because I didn't have much time, poker is not a game it's just a way of life, in which we can improve every day, but this idea made me accept that I couldn't play anymore, now I have some time and I manage to play in the evenings.

I have quit poker but always return to play again. When you go through the bad periods just take a break and then come back with a clear mind.:)

I always quit poker after a bad day ... but come back the next or another day. I am still aware that the best is ahead of me.

I often think about quitting poker when I lose. I think that not playing is better because I won't lose again but that thought quickly passes and I'm playing again.

Whenever I suffer from a continuous downfall for more than a month, I have already considered giving up playing poker, but so far I still insist on my belief and never give up, hoping it can change my destiny

there always times when you are not more envolved in this universe. Right now indeed I am at this moment. In portuguese we have a good word for this that a old girlfriend used once and I never forgot, it a hiato, or a gap.

No. I enjoy playing poker, and do it for the entertainment not a possible income channel. I have accepted that bad beats and crappy hands will occur at times. (probably more than I would like)

I don't think about quitting. I keep at it and take breaks now and then. I look at it as a long term project to get better than I am now.

The measuring stick is that I am better than I was two years ago.
