Poker is a game I can play 365 days of the year, I don't, but I could. As my children are all grown up and have families of their own and I am now retired. I can play whenever I want.
But there are days when I may not feel too good, or the weather too nice to be stuck indoors, or Birthdays and Anniversaries come up so I give it a break.
Some breaks can go on for days or even weeks and that is because Poker is a Hobby for me, not a lifestyle. I keep it fun, never stake more than I can afford to lose and If I decide I don't want to play there is no harm done.
When the fun Stops, STOP! (words to live by)
