I do several things. It depends on my physical situation. I first check must i go to the toilet in the next 55 minutes. Or would i drink something. Next i walk a little bit around to get awake and a little bit activitat. If its ok i go 2 minutes outside the house a get some fresh air. If im deep in a tourney i check the lobby of the game or some stats from the players which are also in the tourney.

But just every second pause would be 10 minutes. Sometimes really would be better the 10m.
Me usually spend the 5 minutes without watching the monitor.
Do not think 5 minutes is long enough especially for handicapped people, on-line poker does not take this into consideration. For someone with no disabilities this is fairly simple to use the bathroom and get something to drink. Ten minutes would be better suited for people with disabilities. Food for thought. Capo1014
Before i was smoking in a break but iam not smoking anymore from 3months (success), i'm going to the bathroom take some drink and food and get back to the game :-D
I do not smoke, so I have something to do during the break, unlike you).I make myself a strong tea, it invigorates and tones up.I gather my thoughts and go into battle!
