Whats the longest "Break" from pool you have taken???

[TATE]

Just wandering how long of a break you have taken from pool because you were tired of playing or burned out?

I am feeling this way and I am going to try and take a little break, maybe play a few times a month instead of 3-5 times a week.

What kind of break has worked for others? Any others get this kind of feeling?

When a hobby or activity becomes drudgery, or you feel like you're getting nowhere with it, a few weeks or a few months off can do wonders.

A true burn out happened to me at one time long ago when my game plateaued in my late 20's. I realized I could play half-assed pool a few times a week, or play a lot more to improve, but sacrifice a career and family life. I made my decision and didn't go into a pool room for almost 20 years. I didn't miss it either at the time.

Now I can't stay away that long, maybe 6 months at a time, but I can stay in stroke on my table at home.

9 years. Now I usually play around 4-6 months out of the year.

5 years once and 3 1/2 years the last time.
