What do you do during a 5 minute break

  • Thread starter Thread starter umyt

Usually going to the bathroom, bringing some soda or coffee and smoking a cigarette. In short, what any player does I think. If I'm having a long section, I try to get my face wet and my body stretched, that helps me relax. I am a physical education teacher and I give you a tip that will help you a lot, every time you have a break, stretch your body muscles, that relaxes and will help you make better decisions in the long run. regards

I smoke at my desk, so I'm lucky there 😉 I usually run and change laundry downstairs, or make a snack.. anything I can't do within a few steps of my desk.
Lately I've been playing blasts or spin and gos during breaks if I have nothing to do away from my desk..
It seems a lot of us are smokers. I wonder if that's true in general, that poker players tend to be smokers.. hmmmmm

Just grab something to eat and drink and if necessary a toilet visit.

Last night I managed to take a shower during the break lol.
 
Being “in the zone” too much can even cause mental fatigue Short 5 minutes breaks provide opportunity to rest a little bit. I use that time to stretch, go to the bathroom and prepare a cup of coffee. Do anything that helps you stay productive longer time.

Most of the time to refill a drink or use the restroom. I also stretch out when I can you will get extremely tired just sitting the whole time.

Yeah I do that too. I share a place with many people. So sometimes it gets hard to smoke. Then you canned out of a tourny quick sometimes you usually go on a boag until next tourny. The trick is don't inhale down throat.

Peee
 
I usually use the bathroom and try and gather up whatever I might need for the next hour. If I still have time left I like to stretch and do some pushups or something to help get the blood flowing again.
 
Stretch your legs
I wash my face if I'm half asleep.
I refill my drink😀😀
