How many days per month do you take off from poker?

[Justin A]

I tend to take 2-3 days off per week.

There's a reason people who make 1mil a year still try to make 2 mil

probably 5 days a month, if that. i try to play a little every day. but right now im so freaking burnt out i cant see straight. ive been running great but feel so sick of playing im irritable when i play right now. so im taking the rest of the weekend off. at least.

2-6 days/month off. If I spend a whole day with family I usually don't play, and sometimes I take a long weekend and go to a chess tournament to get away from the game for a while.

i am surprised by some of the responses. i find weekend days, weekend evenings, holidays, etc., have the most fish and the loosest games. several of the posters who make their living at poker, mentioned taking off some or most of the weekend. i would think they would do better taking off a few days mid week, with the occasional weekend for family, girlfriend, etc.

i think that's the whole point.. some people aren't trying to squeeze out every dollar. i could make way more money than i do make. i play about 20 hours a week TOPS (if i'm lucky) and i have no other income besides poker

Im generally surprised that people take off 2-3 days a week, but i think its great that they can. I have some pyschological block which doesnt let me do this enough.
