When is the best moment to have a break?

[Rellik419]

I usually set a limit that I'm willing to gamble with a day and try to stick with it. If it's a bad day and I feel the site is trying to bust me. I walk away for that day.

even you are on a downswing you should not say i am not playing anymore when you still play good poker, sometimes the variance kicks you in your face, but be strong and play even better, i normally try to be at least breackeven every day, it is successfull at least 6 times a week

when you are on tilt and mad from losing, or if you feel like you can't beat the games that day

I don't worry about tilt or getting bored, I just worry about following my set BRM at all times. It doesn't matter how my small my BR is, because if it's small enough I can't play in anything, then that means it's FRs only until I can build up high enough that my BIs are less than 5% of my BR. Thanks to PO and good BRM it would be very difficult to lose my whole BR, even though it isn't that big.

YES, I agree. The poker player should STOP play while in tilt! It is not all about bankroll it is about doing wrong decisions more often. Thus loose money much more easily...

you just know when its not going to happen just need to call it quits dont push it

I will take a rest after today's TCOOP-32 event on PokerStars. If I finished ITM, should boost my BR, if not, it's a good time to get back to freerolls

I'm a little different then most in that I don't find breaks particularly helpfull. If I feel I am running cold, I drop down stakes, tighten up my game, and play thru the bad runs. When things are running good, I will probe a BIT above my regular stakes level, pay for more more flops in good position, and open up my range a bit.

Of course its always fun to play bingo after playing tight aggressive poker for too long - and just plain gamble! Not exactly tilt but more like fkn around.
