Not once. Never intended to quit playing. I play for fun, so I was never going to quit what brings me joy :)
I had long forced breaks, but it was due to my health and the long process of treatment and recovery.

Grew up playing some kinda card game/poker and jokingly have quit 100's of times I'm sure lol. Seriously considered it never not even a second thought. Have had to take breaks as real life can be a real pain in the ass now and again. But quit I'd never completely quit such a fun, good and relaxing hobby.

Cheers!!!

I have honestly quitted about 10 times.

But you don't quit poker - poker quits you.

Twice I left it for periods of a few months, one of them was due to frustration of losing at the low limits and the other was for work reasons.

Not even once!
Yes, you have bad days - poker kicking your a$$ off, you play great, but nothing goes on your way...

Then I take a break, that's not quitting - little break is ok.

I adore poker + I'm never going to quit, it's so much fun!

I was going to quit smoking probably more than 200 times. Unfortunately, it was not possible to quit. Smoking is a bad habit. Do you consider poker a bad habit?
For me, poker is just fun, I never thought about quitting. If I have free time and a good mood I play, if I have no mood or free time I don't play.

I never gave up playing poker, especially because I'm sure you'll have bad phases in poker sometimes, because there's a lot of variation.

I didn't even think about quitting poker because it's a very great game and convenient for many players that still makes money. I think I'll be playing this game for many more years and this game will not change and will be just as great and we'll be glad that poker exists I want to win a very large amount of money just to switch to poker completely and only play poker

Never, sometimes it's good to take a break but not to quit. When you take a break from the game, you come back with a clear head and continue playing calmly.

Poker is a hobby for me. Sometimes I take breaks, but I've never thought about giving up playing altogether.

So far I have not had that thought, poker for me is everything and I will never leave it, it is my favorite sport.

I have quit temporarily for a month or two before as it can become is a grind, and it’s a good idea to take a break from time me to time for your mental health. One needs to be careful and not get addicted to playing games online.

I had this thought yesterday when "AQ" defeated my "KK" on the 3rd hand of a $1,250,000 money guarantee tournament on poker stars. I even wanted to write to Poker Stars support and express my dissatisfaction with the unfair play. :mad: But then I calmed down, played well in our biathlon poker tournament and went to sleep. And already with new goals for this week I am getting ready to conquer the poker peaks! :poop::ROFLMAO:

After one or two big bad beats, I always remember that I should stop, and then of course I can get myself to play again the next day.
I'm not addicted, I don't play every day, I prefer Cardschat freerolls, poker remains a hobby for me.

I stopped playing poker several times. My longest break lasted about 6 months, but this is due to the lack of free time due to work.

I never planned to quit playing poker. But it often happened by itself and I didn't play it several times for a long period of time)

I quit several times, sometimes for several months, but always returned to the game. I think this happens when you are temporarily unemployed and there is no permanent job. Poker sometimes helps relieve depression and forget about problems. I really wanted to become a professional and devote a lot of time to the game, but finances do not allow it.
