Subject commented up on Facebook of CC, generates controversy in good time ...

In my opinion, the ideal would be 10 minutes, often 5 minutes is not enough for sudden situations and when you return to the seat, the tournament is back is already in progress.

What do you think, what's the best time for breaks?

Totally agree! 10 minutes is the best option for a break! 5 minutes is not enough in the majority of cases.

I think 5 mins is a good happy medium imo. 10 mins would just make the tourney that much longer.

I think that it is not enough 5 minutes of a break, sometimes I just go to the kitchen to make tea or coffee during the break - and I come the game has already continued and play without me, it would be great for the break to be 10-15 minutes and that would be enough in the tournaments!

Five minutes of breaks are enough for me.
This break is enough to do what is necessary.
Good luck.

I think the five minutes are a good time to take a break. More than this it would not be bad, but it would be a bigger delay. Usually I manage to do whatever I want in these five minutes, and especially at the breaks at late stages I just wait the game to restart!

Hello.
I also think that five minutes of break are not enough.
It seems to me that the break must last at least 15 minutes.
During this time, you can have time to prepare yourself a tea or coffee and most importantly rest, so that you can continue to play and not lose the concention.

I think that a 10-minute break is just what we need.
This is enough time for a good rest.

I think that for breaks in poker will be enough 10 minutes, and for tournaments with a game duration of 8 hours or more - 1 time in 3-4 hours - 15 minutes.

5 mins is ok for a comfort break but often if I am chipped up and playing well, I will occasionally sit out and take 10 minutes, grab something to eat and drink, healthy mind and healthy body can only help me achieve at the table. [emoji6]

10 minutes, but allow players to pass on the break. Especially late in the tourney.

Five minutes is enough for me,I see no problem with it,and I say more:
The time break couldn't exist.I'd play five hours in a row if could.

The normal 5 minutes every hour are good enough to go to the toilet but not enough if you want to eat something. I personally am ok with 5 min for normal MTTs but if a tournament is scheduled to go for more than 3 or 4 hours i think that there should be a longer break for example 15 minutes every 4 hours.

Yes, the tournament often restarts and you have not yet returned

Very good your idea. I would also be happy with these intervals.

Yeah , those 5 min breaks aren't really something , you can rarely do anything in that time :( Hopefully that will soon change to at least 8 mins.

5 min is not really enough, I doubt it will change as it's not in the operator's interests.
