Sometimes I find myself super into cards for a few months then for a week to a month you really care less about the game. I guess I need to find the best balance. I also believe I should never deposit. I must win up through freerolls in order for me to build a bankroll at any site. If I can't win money in freerolls I shouldn't be playing for real money anyway.
What does everyone thing?

The players playing in free rolls are a lot different though then playing with the players in real money games so really u will not know how good u really are if u just cash in a free roll
i get pokered- out every time i play PO FR
i agree no deposit the 0-10k kinda thing. ive found myself stuck on poker thats all i care about. its takes an extra skill to weed out the donks and fish...in general but expec in freerolls
I don't know if I get pokered out, exactly, but I do find I go through periods where I just can't seem to concentrate on it as solidly as other times. If I'm smart (maybe 50% of the time), I'll not play any games or tourneys for several days until I get the focus back. If I'm not smart, I lose half my bankroll.
It's good to take a break from the game especially if you are too "emotional" about it. If you go in with a bad attitude you probably won't like the results. Speaking from experience. Yard work is a good distraction.
I definitely get "pokered out" I can tell when I hit a wall, so after about 6 hours of playing straight I can't let myself start anything new. And then I occasionally play so much that I have to give myself a 1-2 day break, but that's usually all I need before I'm ready to hit the felt again.
I also feel the same way that if I can't win money in FRs, especially PO FRs then I have no business depositing. Plus I followed BRM from the very bottom. I'm no where close to 10k, only about 200 spread among 4 different sites, but it's slowly growing.
Totally! I think I play better after a week or two off. Refocus/Refresh the mind and all.
i usually try n take a day or 2 off. it helps out mentally and physically. keeps u from just clciking buttons and making bad plays
I do get pokered out too. There will be days where I'm just ready to play and excited to play, but other times where I'm just playing but not really into it. I do tend to take breaks every now and then so that I don't lose interest in poker.
playing freerolls can suck the absolute life out of you
I go into tilt, or at least I used too. I wouldn't say I get bored, its another way to money, so if your not "bored" then your probably doing it wrong. It should not be fun, it should be hard work.
Starting with freerolls is fine, just make sure you never play stakes higher than 10% of your bankroll. At the same time don't play stakes that are too low.
I can get extremely frustrated but it usually goes away quickly. Maybe, a half hour or so. And, I will soon see my error, how it happened or realize that it shouldn't happen that often and it is just variance. If I take a long break it is usually because my money is tied up or I am busy with other aspects of my life.
I definately get pokered out - this week forinstance I find myself thinking about other things when I am playing - so time to take a break and do other things - and I do -
i poker out more than i poker in :D^^
absolutely maybe because i completed the whole bankroll quest before accumalating a large role, and relize i just dont have the time after a while to grind out the micro cash games, go through the varience swings, and spend all that countless energy and time again playing online poker just isnt worth it to me.. but i still love playing every now and then to keep my game fresh
yep sure do!! always good to take a day or two off to recoop!!!
