Of course, there are such moments. I play poker to enjoy the game and try to win some prizes. If I start losing often, then instead of enjoying and good energy, I start getting bad energy and it starts to stress me out, so in such situations I constantly take a break. Some time passes (it can be one day, or one week or even a month, it is always different), I forget everything bad, negative emotions leave me, and I start playing again as if for the first time. Again I experience the same pleasant sensations from the game that I experienced before. I am sure that any activity in this life requires rest. Even if it brings good profit or a lot of pleasure, it is still necessary to take a vacation from time to time - it will only be beneficial.

Sometimes there comes a time when you get very bored while playing poker. Then it's worth taking a short vacation) This is exactly what is happening to me now

I generally feel a bit dejected after going deep in a tournament and then getting kicked out by a bad beat. It takes me a few days to forget and to feel like playing again. So I take breaks in that time.

I get physically fatigued and emotionally overwhelmed, sure, especially after ending a marathon session broke or worse, a big winber, but I will say that I don't believe I will ever quit poker for good. In my opinion, poker is the best game ever invented and Living my life without it is just not an option. But yeah, sure, I do get sick of it at times.

Are u sometimes tired to play Poker, cause you have a downswing? after weeks, month or years?
It's very difficult when you are adjusted, studying and checking the balance of your statistics, and even so losing for more than a year, and when you played in a much worse and unadjusted way, to make money. things that only Freud explains🤔

I never get tired of playing poker. What gets tired is losing at poker. When you win more than you lose, you don't get tired. The tiredness from playing too much poker would be more mental fatigue than the physical fatigue from losing too much at poker.

Sometimes I'm tired of playing poker, and I prefer to stop playing poker for a few days.

Of course, everyone has bad days and even weeks. My game is primarily influenced by my physical condition. And sometimes there are days when I play just tired after a hard day at work and usually such a game brings me only losses, and this in turn brings me disappointment. In this case, we are not talking about fatigue from the game.

Yes. Sometimes I don’t feel like gambling. Like right now. Haven’t been playing for six months. Poker is important to me. But I have two other interests to which I dedicate more time.

It is extremely important to plan a work schedule because poker is exhausting, and a good break recharges this part and makes a difference in your game.
The point is that variance is too much of an attack on the psychological aspect, but if you love poker you will certainly never stop playing poker.

not sure if tired is the right word but frustrated? Yes, many times. There is no chance to avoid being frustrated. It is important to learn to deal with downswings and, if necessary, to take a break.

It happens to me too. There are periods when I feel too tired to play. I don't really know the reason—maybe it's the fear of losing?
