5-minute break, good or bad?

zyntsz · Jun 14, 2021

It is good cause after concentrating for so long, you gotta take some kind of break.

You can sit out if you need more time but you will still gradually lose some chips from ante and small/big blinds.

Atararo14 · Jun 14, 2021

It's essential to rest, to refresh the concentration..

Dentada · Jun 14, 2021

For me it's super necessary, even when I was at university I used the Pomodoro technique.

xexeu · Jun 14, 2021

friend i believe you're confused for me it would be better if it were 10 minutes because yeh times i play but 15 hours straight imagine if you didn't have those 5 minutes how would you go to the bathroom drink water eat something get up together it would be inhumane and not a game to relax

5 minute breaks are good. Wash your face, down a couple shots of whiskey and get back in there.

5min is good sometimes we need go bathroom

franken222 · Jun 14, 2021

We all need to go to the washroom (even you), and we all need to refresh at some point.

I think you're comment about players returning with a whole new way of playing, is somewhat of an overstatement, and over reaction.

Most players have a style of play, and if they do change, it won't be long before the old habits kick in....usually within 10-15 minutes.

If you're following the game closely, this shouldn't be a problem for you.

Make some coffee...go for a pee...throw some water on your face, and come back refreshed.

100% necessary
Imagine who plays 10 tables at the same time... They have to go to the bathroom, eat ...

pipayura · Jun 14, 2021

Of course, this is good, during the break you can break away from the game and make coffee and a sandwich, sometimes I even manage to wash the dishes))

valanddon · Jun 14, 2021

Good a break clears your thoughts.

VVi10 · Jun 14, 2021

I think it's necessary and important, especially in long tournaments where we sit for a long time and almost always in the same position, taking a break is always a good idea because we can stretch our body and drink something so we can continue without any problems later.

CriesuaID · Jun 14, 2021

I like the intervals, they make long tournaments less exhaustive.

steve01991 · Jun 14, 2021

everyone needs a break now and then.

ammje · Jun 14, 2021

I would like 10 minutes of rest, sometimes with 5 minutes I do not have time to do many things.

spectralwave · Jun 14, 2021

I think it's a good 5 minutes , so you can do some things quickly and go back to the game , go to the bathroom , drink some water and eat a munchk kkkkk good.

carlosnuno · Jun 14, 2021

we need more than 5 minutes, 10 minute it s better

blake2702 · Jun 14, 2021

They are essential, but a little annoying sometimes.

Could probs do with a little bit longer for the long tourneys

Alex Sentsov · Jun 14, 2021

It's hard to do without this break

))

jcxmendes · Jun 14, 2021

for me and very good and meddler!

Ellah10 · Jun 14, 2021

They always seem to screw up my timing

maroca06 · Jun 14, 2021

I THINK THIS TIME IS NECESSARY, WE HAVE TO STOP STAYING A LONG TIME ON THE SCREEN.

Emily Trott · Jun 14, 2021

Good since I can smoke at my desk. If I had to go outside or something it would be bad.

After every hour there is a break, at my pace of play that affects me because even when I am understanding the type of play of the opponents at my table, that break makes me lose focus and return to collect new data because in the end some players come back with another way of playing, I put it in consideration of you, good or bad break.

Hello, I think breaks are very good, there is an opportunity to stretch or eat a little bit! I do not imagine tournaments without breaks, no one will play in them, it seems to me impossible to sit and play for 8-9 hours! According to me, there is not even a break of 5 minutes, it seems to me that it needs to be increased to 7-8 minutes, or sometimes you do not even have time to make tea! Do not judge strictly, this is just my opinion! I wish everyone luck at the tables!

Xambo · Jun 15, 2021

I think the break is good, maybe 7 minutes would be even better.

Hi mate, yes I understand that this is the idea of all players, in my case more than tiredness I feel that I lose the rhythm of the game, for that reason I put that comment, and yes obviously I would not take the time but I still hold my opinion hahaha but only in my case, greetings.

5-minute break, good or bad?
