The 5 minute break

[Comboss599]

5 minutes is the best length of brake. Just enough to smoke a cigarette.

I don't like the 5 minutes. When I play poker, I do several other things at the same time. So those 5 minutes for me are not something I use to eat, drink, relax etc...

I do enjoy it because I am a smoker and I have a chance to go out to the balcony to smoke.

 

[Branimir84]

Most of the time I find it quite fine.

I am a hell of a smoker. I have been smoking for over 20 years. I really wait for a break to smoke but sometimes I smoke during the session)

Just right, there's no point in delaying it

 

[Leeyonah96]

The break will be extended for 6 mins depends on the players are playing. For example 3k players are playing they will extend the break. 5 mins is just good for me.

Sometimes I wish it was 10 mins but it might be too long.

 

[Swat1197]

It depends, if it will be 10 some say 10 minutes is too long if it be 2 another part say omg 2 minutes only what can we do for 2 mins

 

[Maikychan]

Honestly? I think is too short... 10 minutes would be great, although the tournament would be even longer, dragging on for hours and hours.

A 5-minute break is just right. There are poker rooms (Pokio) where, in some MTT tournaments, there are no breaks at all.
