Default Re: How To Make \"Taking A Break\" more +EV?

When I take a break I pretty much stop thinking about poker completely. If you sit around and think about things too much you'll just perpetuate many of the things you were doing badly before. If you want to improve, play and post hands. If you want to take a break, take a real break. When you return, the game will be fresh and you'll see things you never saw any more. I find that every time I take a month off from playing or thinking about poker, when I come back, the game is an order of magnitude easier.

I agree with mason. I took a break once a while back when I started running bad & playing poorly. My motivation was lacking, and I was not doing well. I took 6 weeks off from poker totally. I didn't play, I didn't post, I didn't read anything. I didn't even watch poker on TV, and I ddidn't play my semi-regular home game with friends.

When I came back I was totally re-energized & clobbered the game again.
