i start playing really well, but, passing two hours i get bored...its too long...what do you think?

During the game on long tournaments I make regular breaks, about 1 time per hour (make coffee, doing physical exercises, listening to relaxing music). My opinion is that in long tournaments concentration and preliminary preparation is necessary.

it happens and more time you need to wait for a normal game! In poker you need patience.

I get bored in EVERY tournament on CC Freerolls besides the facebook one. But it is like a bad movie... you can shut it off

I'm excited when I first enter and once I'm in the money. In between is meh.

It only gets boring if late registration is more than 1 hour and addons give too many chips.

3 hours is about my limit for an online game. Hate those with 3 hours of later registration and rebuys.

Play several tournaments at once

I get bored too, is why you have to have stamina in large tournaments. The deeper you go, the more you have to observe your opponents.

i get bored in short tournaments, never mind long ones...

i got bored in a spin n go once

Long tournaments can be tedious and hard to keep focus. Like alpha dog suggested take a break... grab a coffee or put on some music.

Hi i play all the time in long tournaments, and rarely get bored. Its because I do other things while I play: most of the time I watch youtube videos on my tablet, but i also look things up on the internet, check email, etc. It's all about making quality use of your time. Sometimes I set my pc on the table in front of me, and sit and sand my pieces of wood art that I make! And i have found that by doing something else, i don't always sit and think so long about my poker play, i just do it more instinctively, and get better results. maybe its because my brain is being used actively, and I can think better. I love poker , but just sitting there waiting for the other guy to make up his mind what his move is, is VERY boring!!

yeap, and more when the other players use all the time to bet, if you have 2 or 3 its really annoying.

sure is!

I never get bored playing a poker tournament, there are tournaments that take up to more than 4 hours, the SUNDAYMILLIONS or MICROMILLIONS take up to 6 hours, you have to be prepared to play these types of tournaments, if you do not want to get bored of long tournaments you can play other types of tournaments such as sit & go tournaments that are tournaments that do not take too long or you can play spin & go too

I before, too, lose concentration of after 2-3 hours of the game! But here's my advice, start 2 games at the same time, a larger number is not necessary or you'll lose concentration! While trading at the same table, you will play at the second poker table!

EVER

Yes this is the problem that makes it boring,
and can then make the bored player lose concentration or choose to concentrate less by doing other distracting things.

I like playing and following the action even if I am not in the hand,
but sometimes a slow pace can be frustrating.

The other cause of boredom is not even being able to get involved in any hands usually when blinds are high, and there is a long period of being dealt totally unplayable hole cards.

I find the best way to deal with it is keeping two simultaneous games going. Sit and Gos can be very helpful here.


Recently I had a small tournament ticket that was about to expire and I didn't feel like playing a long tournament, but I found a 15 minute timed tournament, so I decided to try it and I have to say it was a bit of a blast, and even managed to make a couple of bucks.

I am watching movies. It helps to play only good starting hands and not to be bored

Поэтому, когда я играю в MTT в течение долгого времени, у меня нет терпения ... Я не знаю, почему, но я часто ставил олл-ин с руками, такими как A 10, AJ и так далее ...

Oh yes.. i dont have patience...

i think everyone gets bored to some degree-i would suggest starting off playing sng,s the nine person ones last 1-2 hours-after that find something constructive to do during the game when the boredom starts-i take notes on other players-i also watch poker vids when playing long mtt,s-ive been in some 8 plus hour mtt,s in the past

Occasionally I get bored especially if the prize is little, or too late is delayed

Only in tourney's that registers for HHHOOOUUURRRSSS!!!!!!!

I'm in the same situation, I get bored on the long tourneys and I go all in with AK for exemple in a bad position and I loose...

this means that you need to play more tournaments

I don't get bored after 2 hours, actually for me it gets more interesting towards the end. But look at the bright side, you must be a good player since you get passed 2 hours often enough to become boring.

i get bored when the tourney is to long. mostly the 10 dollar free rolls. when the blinds are 10 min. and might not even play a hand they will go on a 5 min. break so they get over 300 and on weekends might even get 400 players i think they need to pay more then 10 dollars. or go to 5 min. blinds.

I've actually never been bore while actually playing a poker game. I can play 16 hours straight on a weekend day and I'm just as into it on hour 16 as I was when I started.

Now, what does happen to me is after I've played a tourney for hours and just barely missed the money then I it there thinking, "God I don't want to play another game." And I get bored that way, between games, but I've never had a boredom problem while playing.

What I recommend is having one style you are really good at and then another style you are trying to learn. When you start gettin bored, switch to the style you are trying to learn and maybe that will releive your boredom. Plus it will allow you to mix up your game which is always a plus.

I think many people feeling this, when they play only one table! try play more than one tables and take a patience

I do get bored. I believe I need to train my mode for it. One of the poker virtues in big money tournaments is focus and patience. I'm going towards this direction.

I often encountered this problem, I usually help a small break for ten minutes, you can see the news to talk with someone else to distract yourself

not once I'm out of a tournament because of fatigue , when she completely conquered me The mistakes are one step and I always do it

In tournaments with late registration, I enter 15-20 minutes before the end of late registration, I do not have to sit at the beginning of the tournament 1-2 hours and I get to the most interesting part of the tournament bubble

Sometimes, especially when players are thinking to long time/

I would not call the passage in mtt boredom just at the beginning of the tournament you play the strategy and it becomes monatonic, I think to a man who once worked at the machine or let's wove the brooms it will be familiar. but as soon as you reach the final table, I personally have a good adrenaline rush and a second wind opens and I love poker for these feelings))))

Some time, but i can relax by music or play another game!

endure, endure this most important, sometimes out of 10,000 players I took 1st place when there were 200, but because of dullness I played with all in with AJ, they beat me out, sometimes I have to endure and be able to throw such cards to enter the top nine, to survive and to throw out sometimes AK is of great importance

I do not navigate long games, so I prefer the game's zoom

I can't understand how people don't sometimes get bored during long tournaments. Why? A lot of hole cards turn out to be trash hands. To play them would probably lead to the loss of hands and chips, and maybe even tournaments. So the trashy hole cards get tossed and the players can't play their hands. Over the time of a long tournament, when so many hole cards get tossed, and when so many times players can't play their hands, it leads to situations whereby they actually become on-lookers watching others play the very game for which they signed up. All things considered, that can get very boring indeed!

Sometimes i will play 2 tournaments, it keep busy and you will not get bored.
Once i played 3 tournaments at the same time, but it did not work out. I had to put one of them on autoplay.

I will be playing at least 4 tournaments at a time so no time to be bored. If you single table just find something to look at online between hands.

I will single table if I get deep in very big tournament with a bunch of money on the line but usually I'm at 4 tables at least.

yes i get bored thats why when i feel sleepy and tired i am playing like i want to quit the tournament, so i know how you feel try hyper or bounty ,hyper cause it will be end in less time and bounty cause you win something every time you eliminate players

I do sometimes I eat a lot of crap I shouldnt. You work so hard to stay in that long and at the end its so tedious, but I do love this stupid game so I keep on plugging.

Maybe you should play sit and go.

I see a lot of erratic play a couple hours into a tournament,it`s human nature to get bored i guess.When i sit down to play poker,that`s what i do.I would suggest if you don`t feel it that day,don`t play,you won`t play well if your not motivated.

i feel the same sometimes, maybe it s better to take a pause sometime

I wouldn't say bored but maybe anxious , I try and hurry the tourney along lol like I can make it go faster, patience, but that doesn't happen often. if you get bored maybe its not for you is what I would say

I have absolutly opposite problem. For me is boring an opening stage of tournament. And when I`m ITM and especially at the final table the game gets new paints)

Yes, I'm pretty anxious.
