The battle between artificial intelligence and human players in poker has been heating up for years. What once seemed impossible, AI consistently beating the best human players, is now finally starting to look like a reality.

Poker rake is the fee that a poker room or casino takes from each pot or tournament entry as a way to make money. Since poker is played between individuals rather than against the house, the rake ensures the casino or poker site profits from hosting the games.

Picture this: you have been engaged in a 2 hour-long poker game and just reached the conclusion of your final round. You're losing as you are out of strategies, and cannot think of a solution on the spot. Perhaps this could have been avoided if you had taken a proper break between each session. Breaks present an opportunity to reset and gain some new perspective.
