Poker Do you take a break from poker during bad streak or play through it?

I've noticed a pattern for me, I will play well and go on good streaks for two to three days and then start to decline and have bad beats.

Is it better to play through these bad streaks or to take a break for a few days?

(This applies for cash games too)

Variance is part of poker. Two to three days is hardly a streak..

When things go bad, I find tighten up my play helps, less hands, more aggressive when I play them. Lots of times a player doing well expands their range of hands to much, or believes they can outplay anyone after the flop. They become sloppy and over confident.

 

Well if you'd programm a bot to play a perfect poker every hands, it would also have to bear variance... There's no way to escape it... This is why people say that a good player is not especially the one who win the more, but the one who'll lose the less possible.

It is not how much one wins but how little one loses Quote by John Patrick , Professional Gambler .

 

Well, till he can get an edge in a long term game no problem with JP@poker, but professional gambler without any edge... it is an euphemism

 

of course, that's what we need, when we got a bad streak. if you keep playing, it will be more horrible

 

Why should it be more horrible? IT is just a psychological weakness...

 

when you are emotional and you continue to force to play what will happen next ??
it will only hurt yourself

 

Definitely need a break in order to fresh your mind

 

Always smart to take a break, but easier said than done!
Everyone will have bad streaks. A good tip could be to play lower stakes and get some momentum back. Confidence is important.

 

I AGREE WITH YOU HAHA.

 

Everyone should take a break from poker since its summer

 

Let's meet at the beach and play play poker on our phones :-D

 

you are right. Make sure you take break during the game for better performance.
