What do you do during a 5 minute break

I play tournaments for several hours myself. I ran to smoke every break. Often did not even have time to make a cup of tea, but it was mandatory to smoke. Before the new year quit smoking. 2 months without cigarettes. And he noticed that now the work capacity has become higher than before. Now 5-6 hours behind the monitor is not as painful and tiring as it was before. What do you think about this?
 
Usually I use the restroom or go refill my drink and maybe get a snack. Seems that 5 minutes is either not long enough or too long when you're on a heater and just want to keep playing.

At a minimum, I use the time to stand up and stretch the legs. Makes no sense to get a blood clot because I have been sitting in a tournament for 5 hours.
 
I have to start getting relaxation more nowadays , like I used to do in the past . Now I might keep on doing sth else , which doesn't make me relaxed , but even more tired . I keep on watching videos or reading or sth else , have to fix this leak , especially if/when I go well in a tournament or satellite 🙂
 
Take a quick piss, grab a drink, 200 push-ups and 300 sit-ups. Ya know the normal stuff...
😱😱 😀😉
 
I used to smoke. Of course we visit toilet. I try forget how much hand I didn't play but I could win the pot.
 
I’m sure most players do the same! 10 roll it up ready for the 5 min break!
 
break

I always go run a few blocks then drink a veggie drink,--- bathroom --ok ok
i just let the cat in and out over and over
 
Enjoy your break!!=))
Go to toilet... have a cigarette if ypu smoke ... that's what I do. )))
 
These 5 minute breaks are so important. I prefer drinking water, stretching, toilet (if needed). Having breaks every hour makes poker player play better, cos sitting and playing for hours straight could damage your spine, eyes and of course you game. So, use these breaks wisely, it's super important👍

same here. i may bust out a few pushups or some quick exercise to get the nerves calm after a stressful hour.
