longest break from poker?

[TheBandit]

What was your longest break from poker?? Mine was 5 years. from a year after my marriage until about a year ago and just started playing daily again in the last few months

 

[Alex Sentsov]

5 years break in the game? You need to learn to play again! Poker has changed quite a lot in 5 years.

I have taken 6-9 months off before... thats about the longest break I've had since I started playing in 2004-2005.

2 year from real-money poker.

 

[eniseysmail]

I'm still obsessed, I can't even spend a day without online poker games.

my longest break from poker was about 1 year

 

[HobokenNJ]

Maybe a week, but I haven't been playing long. Even if I'm not feeling all that interested in playing my best, I'll fire up a freeroll or two.

My opinion

I had two withdraws from poker. Both about six months. One was cause I was sent to the mental hospital. The other cause I was sent to jail. Both times it was my fault. Thinking everyone was out to get me then flipping out. I have kind of learned to just blow off the people now. Its not worth caring.

the longest absence for me at poker is 1 years. but I did not know CC at that moment.

 

[marcelo benavidez]

i think 2 or 3 months, because a trave for work in london, later, one or 2 weeks

 

[firstcrack]

I took about a five year break at one point for no particular reason.

 

[TulasMoreno]

Like 6 months more less, I made that break due to school.

 

[Jam_V92]

The most I have been away for 3 months and it was due to problems with my internet

I took a break for over a year once. My financial situation changed and couldn't spare the money to play. I started back playing small stakes. It is still fun!!

 

[sheltowee420]

After I played on-line for a year, I took a month off. Now I am refreshed and ready to move up to higher stakes.

 

[Canwai]

I always stop and then I go back
For me it's just recreational.
There are times when I play a lot, and others I get without playing.

 

[MrPokerVerse]

Went about three months without any poker. Right now, I'm at a few SnG a week. Still consider that a break compared what I've played over the years.

 

[neptun1914]

Between my initial period when i played for fun for a few months in the university and the serious period that i experience now passed around 10 years. If we do not consider this the longest period for which i have not played at all was around 1 month during the summer. There are just too many things to do in the summer other than playing poker.

 

[mtmigmike]

I had a break a month, after several losses, I analyzed my game and started again.

 

[ScottieDuncan]

2 weeks at the most.

 

[whitesmoke420]

I don't know if I have taken a long break from poker.....Once I started playing for money I haven't really taken more than a week off from playing =) Even if its just the freerolls - I love playing.

 

[cranberry]

I had the longest break in poker - 3 years. After this break, I began to understand the game differently.

 

[TerryBLE]

I did not play for a year and a half to prioritize other areas,It was my longest time away.

 

[Inequitas]

I'm About to take a break from poker... Maybe 3-6 months...

 

[TheRealPage]

I had to practically start all over again. The game changed a lot since!!
