As a recreational player I tend to have less bouts of wanting to quit
But even as a recreational when you on a real cold streak and the bad beats just keeps pilling up. Quit never but sometimes I wonder wtf im doing with my time and why I love this game so much? Couple of days later that feeling goes away and back at the tables

Yes lots of times(Funnily enough when I only lose or go busto ) but I always come back. Quit for a year once but got poker love again. I think everyone has at one point to be honest, unless your addicted.

thoughts about quitting poker are directly proportional to my bankroll size. the bigger the bankroll the fewer thoughts, but since my bankroll most of the time is fluctuating between $0.00 and $0.02 thoughts about quitting poker do cross my mind from time to time (or from minute to minute to be precise)

I think every poker player gets these sort of feelings every now and then. You think the whole world is against you when you keep getting bad beats but after a few days away you cant wait to play again. Good luck

When i had the time and as playing many hands and that moment of downswing was coming, i was having such thoughts, but never took the next step. Now that my games are limited, no matter the result, im not thinking about it.
