I have a problem leaving during that time. Do you really see benefits of leaving and coming back? I’ve never made it a priority to take that break, so do you think I should?

Mostly food, even when I dont feel that hungry, because if I dont I might regret it 20 minutes into the hour lol

I'm usually playing on more than one site so the breaks don't always match up.

I would recommend you Play as follows:

Do not play more than 4 tables.

Up to 1 hour

Then break not less than 15-25 minutes

And then the next session.

A day does not exceed 4 sessions.

Why do you recommend this? Is this based on your personal experience? Is there any scientific info about this? I honestly do not know, so that’s why I’m asking.

I usually in those 5 minutes of break I try my luck in a Spin & Go, sometimes it helps to recover losses!

It depends on how the game is sometimes used to see previous hands, rest ...

I usually go to the bathroom if I gotta go, I make sure the sit out button is on, I go for a full cig and get something nice and cold to drink to wake me up a bit and freshen up. helps a lot. even though I take longer than 5 minutes.

I usually go to the bathroom or light up a sigarette. Also fill up my drink. But like you say it’s good to get away from the computer for a couple of minutes.
