What do you do on your break? Besides going to the bathroom

On break, better to do something mindless, but useful. Cleaning up, doing dishes, eating and drinking just the right amount, to affect a positive return to the table.

Nothing that takes too much time! Like I don't want to rush back to the table! For example I don't want to start cooking or peeling vegetables and then hear the beeping and run back to the computer!
I keep it simple, bathroom if needed, a walk around the house or up and down the garden, maybe a stretch or two. If I'm hungry I'll pop my pre prepared meal in the microwave, or grab the sandwich from the fridge.... boil the kettle etc.
Then try get to the table with less than a minute to kick off! About 20 seconds is fine to look at the table and look at stacks see where the button is and get in the mind again!
I can then eat while I play and have my tea, grand job!

I'm on a break from online poker going to eat something, the food should be light, so that after it I don't want to go to the toilet, and the food should not be salty or sweet so that I don't want to drink.
Even during the break, you can squat or do push-UPS to disperse the blood, cheer up.
In any case, do not lie down on the bed or sofa, sleep through the tournament

There is not a lot of time. I jump to the back of the van to look for more aces.

wow I do a lot of different things during the 5 minute breaks in a poker tournament such as :
let the dogs out
Refill the dogs water bowls
Finish putting the dinner dishes in the dishwasher
Check my emails
Answer texts or missed phone calls
Take the trash out
Get a drink
Just get up & walk around

just a few things I can get done in 5 minutes

Be safe all & good luck at the tables!

Hi there.Everytime I have a break I almost always go downstairs for a glass of water

get up stretch, deep breathes, few push-ups to get blood circulating, out for some fresh-air. then back to it.

I go to bathroom, prepare my drinks & make me strech to change my mind. They´re my routines.

I make coffee....

i always take a couple month break in between huge downswings, time to hit the books! :P

Meditation

I work between breaks to play after breaks.

I play without breaks, before each session I get enough sleep I go in for sports, I approach the game responsibly and therefore I do not need breaks

Unfortunately, not much is done because there is not enough time. There is only one toilet that can fit in the time and I fill my glass with a maximum of water.

If the game is long, making a slice of butter bread just fits.



That's pretty much it.

I have not yet encountered, but I would not want to face the need to go to the toilet during the tournament

I check my phone, I eat, I drink something, it depends on what I need at that moment

I smoke some cigarette!

Most of all I go for breaks for any small food. All the time, when I play poker, I want to chew something eaten. It's like nourishing the brain with sweets.

In the break I like to take food and water, not high food, just some things to eat while playing.
I like to have wash sometimes when we are playing for a long time too.

During breaks on online poker I smoke cigarette with brewed coffee. Sometimes I cook food for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

During the day I go to the kitchen and look out of the big sliding glass door down to my Uncle's house and then down to my cousin's house to see whos home and make sure everything is ok. Since I'm in the kitchen I stop and look in the refrigerator whether I am hungry or not. At night I make a lap through the house, making sure all the windows are shut and the doors are double locked, even if I've already checked them. My lap ends in the kitchen. So while I am there, I stop and look in the refrigerator whether I'm hungry or not. The funny thing is that I'm not a big snacker, so I don't exactly know why I'm constantly looking in the fridge.

I go online and read the news)

Eat some food, drink some water.

I go for a walk or just take some fresh air in the garden.

I usually grab a quick snack. Some of these tournaments can be very long.

I usually get up and walk around, grab a quick drink or bathroom run.. Occasionally. play a spin n go...

I usually drink a glass of water, walk around the computer and go to the bathroom

Check some sports sites and pay more attention if I am watching some sport event. On the other hand, I really don't like and hate the breaks in poker, because they usually stop my winning rhythm on the table.

smoke a cigarette, make coffe, bathroom, WC

On the break I prepare food or just go to WC

I usually check my phone, get something to eat.

I smoke a cig. If I don't do that then I'll make something to eat or just get my eyes away from the screen for a bit.

I think is good to step away for the short time you have and get some fresh air if possible. A short meditation never hurts or at least try to clear your mind and come back to the table fresh. Obviously the needed bathroom break and a water refill. I agree that trying to do anything that's gonna cause you to rush back is not going to help.

online poker games are very fun but variants and you don't always win you have to have a lot of concentration for each game

Pack up my vape!

Smoke large amounts of cannabis.

Sprint to the bathroom and load a bowl when I get back !

pulling up on the bar

Watch a video, clean up my hooka's hosh and prepare another hookah, smoke a cigarrete...

I read CC threads , watch a youtube video , might go on watching a movies on the Netflix , I might watch again one two hands that were very important on some tables , watch twitch streamers , eat sth , listen to music , read some news online or gossip news , have a shower sometimes very quickly , play some Cyclones until the break is over . And ofcourse bathroom , lol

In the past I used to lie on the bed for these 5 min , but nowadays I do not feel the need , anyway you get sleepy , maybe it's worse , lol , should get a cup of coffee instead , better , lol

Usually refill my drink and then go on the treadmill as it feels good to do something active.

Uh ...!?
This is the moment when I understand again what my wife is saying.
Ok, I go out.

Just a few things, cause there is no much time.

Go to bathroom
Make a coffee
Check my phone

And come back quickly as possible.

If this is a short break of 5 minutes, then I quickly go to the toilet, then to the kitchen to drink milk, then after a bottle of milk wash my hands, then eat a bar, then I can look at my fish and run by the phone

A break is a good opportunity to view the history of hands. You have the opportunity to pay attention to large pots. How well or poorly you played.

You can eat and drink while playing online at any time, so you don't need to take a break. I use it to view new messages.

Poker breaks five minutes to long or to short. There is not a whole lot you can do in five minutes. I tend to smoke one and get a drink and that is about five minutes. I stretch and get my blood pumping for the next round if possible. I wish the breaks would be ten minutes so I could accomplish something else during this time. Oh well my break is finished Capo 1014

Work ... Hahaha. Which is little for a day if you work 5 minutes for every hour. In addition, I look for food, change the music and receive facebook.

It's normal to break for 5min, if you not playing 4 tables you can move with your device while playing
