If you feel hunger crawling up, still it. Same goes for thirst. Dont play poker hungry or thirsty, just another unnecessary and unpleasant distraction.

In live games most of the time they serve food to your table. When playing on line I have snack food near by and sometimes i hit the microwave up for some quick hot food!!

I play poker on a laptop. I is not difficult to go to the kitchen during the game. Therefore, I have no problems in this area. I often eat anything, I smoke, I drink coffee and tea during the game.

Good luck in the game and life ;)

How do you cope with hunger during long tournaments (4-8 hours or longer)? Five-minutes break is not enough for something to eat. And if I'm going to eat during the game, be sure I will lose concentration. Maybe there is some kind of more or less healthy foods that will not distract me from the tournament? And how do you struggle against hunger during the MTT?

I use it before playing knowing that the game can be time consuming to feed me well, and I leave always on my side during the game some pestisco and very liquid.

you do not have time to 5-10 minutes to eat well! in the army for 5 minutes, lunch, eat a light meal during the game, that would kill hunger

I'd say nothing fatty like potato chips or anything that's going to make you go to the bathroom a lot like coffee or tea. Some fruit, light snacks, or a sandwich won't bog you down and dull your mind.
