How do you guys manage the 5-minute tournament breaks? Hey like if you are online and are going to play some those long tourneys which have like 2 and half hour registration followed by another 2 hours before the game actually gets you into the ITM - and you only get that quick 5-minute break every hour. How do you guys balance your time to grab a quick snack, use the toilet, and stretch without missing hands? Do you prepare food before the game starts, or do you have any quick hacks to get everything done in 5 minutes?..

Use a laptop that has a good battery.

No hacks needed it isn't that hard to make a coffee, grab snacks and take a pee break in 5 mins. One thing I do....do thou is unless I'm in the last hand before the break I fold early and I'm up getting my shit done so I actually get 6-7 mins break and I'm still back early before the break ends. You start the coffee, add the sugar on the way to the bathroom(keurig K-cup). When done in the bathroom you finish the coffee and grab the snacks on the way back too the computer.

Other solution and 110% great and best overall life hack in general......marry an amazing woman who does and pays attention too the little things. Good luck finding one of those now days you likely find a real life unicorn first or maybe bigfoot. My wife when she's home and sees I'm playing poker in an MTT will ask and then make me coffee and bring me snacks when/if I want them. That just leaves the 5 min break and a pee. And yes ladies I also like my wife pay attention and do the little things for her when she needs them it's a two-way street after all.

Cheers!!!
