Is a break of 5 minutes too long or too short?

[mico595]

it's enough for me

 

[chezzzi_qwe]

perfect

 

[krisi77]

sometimes many sometimes a little, but never just as much as I need

 

[oleg plugaru]

i think it's enough, i used tot this time, it's enough to smoke a cigg and drink a cup of cofee..

Too short. I often have to run from bathroom not to miss a hand that I know changes the entire outcome of the tournament.

Me too

short breaks

Absolutely too short...no time to choose between bathroom break/snack break/cig break!

 

[Bavina]

In my opinion 5 minutes is enough. I know that some sites (I believe 888 gives 6 minutes break every hour).
The tough thing is on global poker they do not synchronize their breaks which is absurd.

Dive Minute is perfect

a break after an hour of play is necessary, and I think that five minutes is enough to have a rest a little , and start playing again

Breaks

Breaks are very necessary. I just cashed in a tournament but had it not been for the break I would have tilted out. The break gave me time to cool down after a bad beat. So I say 'thumbs up' for the breaks!!

when i first joined poker i realized 5 minutes is not enough time especially if you want the toilet and then need to make coffee or a snack. I've made a way to make 5 minutes work for me. Sometimes I don't make it and have to rush between the kitchen and my pc. I still think the breaks should be longer.

Usually its fine for me 5 minutes to smoke ciggarete and relex for 5 minutes but when i have to eat i need at least 10 minutes : D

 

[domdiego]

for me it's short 5 minutes has to be a few hours, because when you come back to play you play more concentrated on wanting to win

 

[Tulipaneiro]

5 minutes is enough to eat something or drink tea, smoke cigarette, go to toilet

 

[ingybingy]

No way it is long enough. Tournaments on ACR can be way over 12hrs long. How you gonna eat in a 12+hrs tourney with 5 minute breaks? If you know tournaments you are running last 12+hrs you need to throw in a couple longer breaks, at least 1 longer break.

Can't you just bring your laptop into the kitchen? Or if you're using a desktop can't you prep the meal just before the break begins and then start cooking during the break and then go back and forth from kitchen to computer?

I think 5 minutes is enough if you don't have to go out as sometimes i have to do which 5min is too short. As i go and get back has happened 20 min at least.
But It's time enough to go number 1, have some water, grab snacks and stuff. even read some played hands and getting ready for the action

5 minutes is a good time to cool the head. You can rest your mind a little before continuing to play.

 

[WhereDidMyEVGo]

Sometimes it's too long, sometimes it's too short, sometimes it's just right.

 

[ecoland]

Absolutly too short! Prepare sandwich and not time for tea! I always eat chips and drink cola

 

[Anatoliy Tolik]

Here my opinion is not clear)) It happens that the break interrupts you the course of the game, stops coming in suit and vice versa. I think it is best to make a break every 2 hours, but minutes to 10-15. Although this is not all fundamentally

 

[Pulsar]

5 minute best term - you can do your business and at the same time not to lose the game tone! Though every 2-3 hours you can take a break and more - 10 minutes!

 

[Betmakers]

5 it's probably best time

 

[fa1920]

In my opinion, it should be 2 hours in a row and then 15 minutes of rest, I think it would be more feasible than 1 hour and 5 minutes

 

[steeler1970]

I think it is to short

 

[Datdude1]

Where's a break when I need one!!!????

Just recently got knocked out because of a slight tilt factor. What I needed was a break because of fatigue and quite frankly I needed a breather....breaks are necessary but one didn't come fast enough. . ..:shot:

 

[miric007]

For me a break of 5 minutes is unnecessary.

I play poker over a mobile device so the toilet can go any time
