Exclude yourself from playing for 30 days or however long is required via the software. That is your best shot at not getting distracted.

School is way more important. Even if you were on an upswing take the break study up, and when you have the time poker will still be here.

Take the break, school will help you in the long run. Poker will still be there when you are done with school.

Finish your Studies/Exam. Your downswing may actually be helped by taking a break and come back fresh. Not to mention School is way to important in the long run than Poker.

yeah i know.

So stop it and get to studying. Seriously, that it 1000000000000000000000000 times more important. Priorities friend.

School has to be the priority, for sure. Poker's way more fun but a two-month break is well worth good marks (and your future career)!

If your winrate is less than 5bb/100, better take a break.

Play micro stakes and freerolls for a while, break doesn't hurt. But poker has swings, and we run hot and cold. its a game of variance online!!

Take a break and concentrate on your studies. When you come back from your break you will probably play better without the school work on your mind. Good luck.

Continue to play and gain more experience in the game, if you play badly, it's better to play a lot of freerolls so that you can then play normal tournaments, or play tournaments well at 0.10 cents and more and gain experience and then you can go to normal tournaments too for 1-5-10 dollars, or in a cash game try to play on small stakes and you will learn how to play so that later you can play normal games and win normal money!
