There are many things you need to learn in order to be a good poker player, and one of the most important lessons is knowing when it is time to stop playing. There will be times when you really want to keep playing, but you have to get up, while other times you will want nothing more than to leave a game behind but you won’t be able to. This is all part of the process of becoming a world-class player. Anytime that your table has run out of luck or the money isn’t coming your way is a good time to call it quits.

Exhaustion

Playing poker is an intense psychological game that takes tremendous exertion and concentration to play, and there is no doubt that a long session of playing poker will leave you drained. Just look around the table at the end of a long day of playing and you will not see the same level of energy that you started with. Keeping track of the cards, hands, people as well as your own thoughts and feelings will keep you on your toes all day long.
