You should take your time to prepare for next phase of the game and just relax for that time

When the 5 minute break reach, I go to get something to eat. When I'm in a tournament I get nervous. And I eat when I'm nervous. Lol

Use the bathroom if necessary, get a snack or a glass of water, or just get up and walk around. No matter what, 5 minutes never feels like enough time. Always end up missing a hand or two before I get back. I wish there would be at least one longer break but I realize this is unlikely to happen. Just need to plan more effectively if I know I'll be playing for hours on end.

Well, depending on how much the tournament is going on, you can make yourself a few sandwiches of coffee to have a snack or go to the toilet if it's after 3 4 hours of play if at the very beginning you just sit and relax distracted, as the saying goes, take your breath and fight again.

Going the bathroom

Taking care of business is the most important thing you can do during the 5 minutes even if it takes you longer than the break to finish. It will allow you to miss less hands than doing it during play. If you have to get things done during play try to find other things to do that you can check on your screen while doing.

You need 5 min in tournament

You do in those five-minute break during a tournament? Think is necessary? I personally can not do much, smoke a cigarette, put the washing machine etc ,. Tell me you do commenting below you and you think about it.

and it is very interesting for me to take breaks because of course I do not use only 5 minutes. I sometimes pause so the 5 minutes serve only to remind me to take a break. I enjoy and like something, I go to the bathroom. I prepare some great snacks for breaks.
