Is a break of 5 minutes too long or too short?

MIljanho · Mar 17, 2018

What do you think about the break of 5 minutes every hour?

Jamuka7657 · Mar 17, 2018

5 minutes seems good to me, I can usually find more than enough stuff to do during the break.

Too short. I often have to run from bathroom not to miss a hand that I know changes the entire outcome of the tournament.

pescaofish · Mar 17, 2018

depends on the hour. Normally is about OK., but if you are falling sleep then is too long!

Nintendo · Mar 17, 2018

Well it is certainly not too long.

evildoesit2003 · Mar 17, 2018

Its fair need it unless you wanna sit out!

TheNutz4You · Mar 17, 2018

5 minutes seems perfect to me. any longer and is drags the game out even more, any shorter and not enough time to use the bathroom, grab a drink, smoke a cigg ect.

lcid86 · Mar 17, 2018

It's enough time if you plan for it.

carli · Mar 17, 2018

Excellent, especially if you play more tables.

In my opinion 5 minutes is enough. I know that some sites (I believe 888 gives 6 minutes break every hour).
The tough thing is on global poker they do not synchronize their breaks which is absurd.

Many times the hand that's missed is a good thing.

Robmrjet · Mar 17, 2018

5 mins is not enough usually when I want to grab some food or use bathroom.

GRIN281289 · Mar 17, 2018

for me, 5 minutes is enough to brew tea or coffee and smoke, but I think 10 minutes would be better

m0t22 · Mar 17, 2018

What to do on the break?

What do you recommend to do in the break of 5 minutes between sessions?

hugh blair · Mar 17, 2018

Attend the loo brush teeth have shave make cup of tea and do 10 push ups to get the blood pumping sometimes put wash in machine and one in dryer sometimes wash dishes or dry them on break pick the baby up out of cot who has been crying for last 55 mins lol and give him a bottle and change nappy this list can have lot more on it and vary break to break but darn concentrate when the game is on

radartodd69 · Mar 17, 2018

Too long for me.

Ever since I quit smoking, it is a drag to wait 5 minutes for a hand. (pun intended)

Mateo · Mar 17, 2018

I think it's good. Can be too short if I have to make food or a drink, but I'm okay with it typically

scubed · Mar 17, 2018

5 minutes is perfect!

Those that think 5 minutes is too long might I recommend using the time to drink a 16oz glass of water. I'd bet that an hour later you'll think 5 minutes is perfect!

Leomil · Mar 17, 2018

Its perfect! more then that make the game so long... 5 minutes its enough to go to bathroom and drink some water

B1920984 · Mar 17, 2018

Use break to regroup your strategy and or strengthen it.

Stacker · Mar 17, 2018

I think it's fine I wish you had a choice of not taking it when heads up......

lilpotato · Mar 17, 2018

No way it is long enough. Tournaments on ACR can be way over 12hrs long. How you gonna eat in a 12+hrs tourney with 5 minute breaks? If you know tournaments you are running last 12+hrs you need to throw in a couple longer breaks, at least 1 longer break.

Is a break of 5 minutes too long or too short?
