What Do You Eat on a 5 Min. While on a Tourney?

Dreams of Tragedy · Dec 2, 2010

I eat ORIO Cookies, I like to listen to them untwist when I have a big hand..lol

I never really thought about it, but now that the subject is up, I realize that I don't even munch on nothing during a tournament. On breaks I alway go for a cigarette and I never think about food. Is that weird or common or should I get something to eat during break?

if youre hungry, you should eat. if you aren't, you don't have to eat.

This is excellent advice, and can be used any time, not just during poker tournaments.

Snacks....granola bars, nuts, trail mix.

Meals.....anything you can hold in your hand. Just using a fork and knife (although pretty straightforward) could detract from your concentration when playing.

Nothing...well i might have a little bit o sugar next to me i.e sweets, chocs + crisps (snacks) but usually i can go a full shift (upto 18hrs) on what i had before i started, i hate leaving my laptop (b8ry broken) just incase and i believe you need full and total attention on the table, and did you never play on party poker last year? lol, they never had simultaneous breaks then...try eating then.

i don't feel committed to play every hand and often get up for stretches at a time, read a book, or go for a walk, and then come back in ten to twenty minutes only down a few hundred chips.

move up to where they respect your snacks.

Can I be pornographic? Cause I tried eating something in the break once and it ended up making me miss the rest of the tourny. (it rhymes with "wussy")

On a serious note, you need to know that before you even register. Its called "Being prepared" and its a very important part of tournament play.

Big hand my arse, you only do that when you have the stone cold nuts!

Remember the A5/42 hand

Crisps. Then spend the next 25 minutes wiping greasy finger marks off the mouse pad!

BelgoSuisse · Dec 3, 2010

Lol donkaments. Just play cash games and take a break whenever you feel like it.

Edit: especially if you plan on eating something that rimes with wussy.

I prepare the food and drink needed before I start the session / tourney.

I'll be looking for the weekly thread of recipes with color coded notes for what foods are best for MTT, Rebuys and so on. I'm sure you have system to the whole "pre-made meal" thing. Hoping green dots don't mean extra pickels but show me the money meal!

If it's a 6-max tourney or rebuy... definitely a bowl of 'microwaved' oatmeal during the rebuy period (with yoghurt & a couple tablespoons of nuts & seeds to maintain blood sugar levels til' break.. don't want those carbohydrate highs & lows to induce any tilting.. obv. ).

Yes on the oatmeal there rcrocketman (you've been talking to your sister have you?).

lektrikguy · Dec 3, 2010

Anything I can nuke in that time. Sometimes I'll just eat peanuts at the computer or grab fruit and another glass of water.

I wonder if this is a joke. If not, your lady must love you.

"Ok, break time. Panties off. I got 5 minutes, gotta make this count."

Or...hmmm...If she is laying on her back, I guess you could just put your laptop on her stomach and periodically look up to see whats going on at the table(s). LOL, it would so awesome if someone actually tried this.

You: (thinking) "Oh God. Aces!"
Her: "Oh God. Don't stop!"
You: (thinking)"Oh God, I'm gonna time out!
Her: Oh God. I'm gonna cum!

:fold: A flops.

You: (thinking) FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKK!!!
Her: Oh FUUUUUUUUCCCCCKKKK!!

...lolz.

FereZ · Dec 3, 2010

LOL! :icon_colo
Often I eat some sandwich'es and bring something drinkable near to my laptop! I like also eating nuts or chips while playing

Jarod1231 · Dec 3, 2010

I live right next to a gas station/pizza place... usually just go there and grab a couple slices... worst I've ever missed was 2 hands
