a week or two. I don't think these were by choice.
my longest voluntary break was probably a week. |

Maybe a week. The need to feed and clothe myself always brigns me back.

I had a 4 month break when World of Warcraft came out. Was sick and tired of playing anyways. But now I'm back and poker feels so much more fun then it used to right before i took a break. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Ten years. I did play about once a year during that stretch.
Now I like to take a week off every month or two. Sometimes the breaks are after loosing streaks, but just as often after winning streaks. Playing when I feel like it makes all the differences. It not just about making money. |

I read part of HEPFAP and played live 2000-ish. Nothing serious til Summer 2003. Played for about 6 months and took a break for six months, played for a couple months took a break for 4, played for a couple months took a break for 4. And here I am. Been playing for about five weeks.
I've got a day job that pays the bills, so poker is just spending money. At 1-2, it's not a lot of spending money. |

Re: longest time away from poker?
In the last 2 years I can't remember going more than a day without playing live or online. Kinda sick. But it made it possible for em to move out of my parent's house. When i started my poker income was slightly less than my part time job and now its is close to triple that. ($/HR)

Re: longest time away from poker?
When I started work this summer, I took about 5 weaks off of poker. I was also burnt out on it anyway and a little bitter about missing the wsop by one spot.
It's good to be back though. -Craig |
