How much have you learned to do on a break from poker?

I usually take a break 2 days a week. This time is actually enough for me to rest and regain my form. Playing after a break always gives me more fun and I get better results.

during my poker break, I have time to pour myself tea, bring me some food and do a couple of sit-ups and sit back at the table and start playing right away

on account of this, I agree with you that constantly playing poker puts a lot of strain on yourself. But maybe I did not express myself correctly, maybe you did not understand correctly, I spoke during a pause during the game at 6 minutes

during my poker break I have time to pour myself some tea, bring some food, do some squats, sit at the table and start playing right away

and even if there is a prize table, during this time you can “fly into space” ^_^

very little really, I didn't like to take long breaks because I feel like I'm losing my rhythm, a rhythm that I feel is going dizzyingly, the times I paused in poker when I resumed the game I felt that I had lost a lot of ground

really brother little rest I take.
Sometimes I should do it because of my eyesight, I get quite tired
Cheers

I don't usually take breaks, and my game volume isn't big, since I only play freerolls, so I'm fine.

Sometimes I pause so as not to lose interest in the game. If you engage in any activity without interruption for a long time, interest disappears, at least for me

When I take a break from poker, I usually forget about poker at all. I don't study the game or watch videos about poker. I just use the time to relax and come back more focused.

Better to take a break and avoid burn out. Poker should be fun to play.

Hi, friend!
Sometimes you need to take a break from poker)

In breaks from the game, I began to learn English little by little

Lol poker is my break from my busy day, I prioritize time with my kids, I’ll play drums, make food etc. I’m always itching to jump in and play when I can! If it was my primary income source it may be a bit different, for now it’s just my favourite hobby that I play as often as my schedule will allow.

 

[Leandro6803]

I usually drink and meditate and walk a few steps.

I take a break when I have no money

 

[kitchy65]

I go to the toilet, make a brew...a sandwich and a casual smoke.

I'm taking my first bite of the sandwich as the play continues

Break in poker is a individual case.

Some people can play for months, maybe years and aren't affected by anything. Others can get nervous only in a couple of minutes, specialy when taking a bad beat.

I think the most crucial thing is to know first is poker for you is a hoppy, a profitable hobby or a profession. For the first two cases, you can define breaks as soon as you want, everytime.

When playing poker as a professional, your routine must consider some breaks, sometimes to study, or meditation, or just to mantain your mental health. It has to be part of the pro's behaviour.

We have to understand that our life, mental health, wellness, social relations and routine cannot be affected negatively by poker. Even if it`s a hobby or your job, you must stay calm.

Make a plan including to play in a schema of 5 days in a row for the max, and take 2 days off, enjoy your family, listen to some music, visit some different places, free your mind. You'll see how better you will come back to the game.

GL all.

Breaks in the poker game are usually when I have a lot of work, you can't learn a lot there, everything is monotonous.

 

[Station_Master]

I dont really take breaks, I play as often as I can, it's my way to relax/unwind after a hard days work!

 

[MK_]

I run to let the dogs out, the bathroom, let the dogs in, make coffee.... maybe some toast!

 

[Rahatis]

I walk like a madman around the house for these 5 minutes. Then get back to the game ready to get owned like never before.
