Default Re: longest time away from poker?

Longest break was 4 days, but then again, only started playing 4 months ago. I'd been getting somewhat cold cards, though the bigger reason was that I was using that as an excuse to get pissed, tilt and play poorly. Took a break, came back, played somewhat ok break even poker for a week, but felt reenergized nonetheless. After that, cards started showing again.

Default Re: longest time away from poker?

i've never been one to take more than a couple of days off every month or so. but i am thinking about taking about 2 weeks off as i feel a little burnt out and have a long trip to vegas at the beginning of september.

i am wondering if anyone noticed any differences in their play after taking time like this off. i think i will enjoy playing more again, i am just concerned that i may be a little off when i come back to playing. anyone with experience with time off, feel like they play better/worse when they come back?

Yeah, that's pretty much how I was before I took a 10 day break 2 weeks ago. I looked back at the past year and realized there were maybe 3-4 days I hadn't played any sort of poker at all, all due to being out of town.

I take a couple days in a row here or there, usually when I'm not running well. No longer than that unless I'm out of town...
