Hi!

I go to the bathroom and then work out a little. I also smoke, but I can do it while playing with the window open :). I also do that by arranging the tables nicely on the table and then looking for another tournament that hasn’t started yet and is right for me. But there are also times when I talk to my girlfriend when she’s not sleeping yet.

I smoke a cigarette most often. When some match is during the game on tv i'm checking the result. Most common thing for me.

I’ve got my five minute breaks down to a science—my favorite use if I’m playing a super long session is to take a super fast shower :)

During the five-minute break, I go to the bathroom, usually eat something or drink a soda to relax a bit. Sometimes I lie on the couch for a while or do stretching exercises to feel lighter.
After that I feel very good mentally and physically, and then I go back to the tournament wanting to win it.

That short break is just about the right amount of time to make a batch of microwave popcorn - not the prepackaged kind but with kernels in my special microwave popcorn bowl.

Nicely topped with butter (not margarine) and one of my preferred seasoning powders - usually white cheddar but ketchup is pretty darn good as well.

Otherwise, bathroom break, mini tasks, browsing web or checking emails or playing my cash tables.

Walk around the house and go to the toilet, simple perhaps brew a coffee if in need of the caffeine.

Stretching, going for a very short walk, maybe getting some tea. There's not much else you can do in 5 mins hahaha

If necessary, I go to the bathroom, to get water or food or to stretch my legs, many other times it also helps me to cool my head or slow down the game, it all depends on when we meet in the game, sometimes I rest is useful and perhaps not many others.

Go take a leak. Get up walk around for a minute or two and get the blood flowing. If I'm playing on global I sometimes just walk around outside on my phone and play the entire tournament while moving.

I go to the washroom, wash my hands, get a beverage, possibly a snack.

I have a very basic routine at each break and it may sound silly but it gets me ready for another hour of poker.

I get up and take a walk throughout the house. (This stretches my legs out.)

I head to the bathroom and splash cold water on my face. (Wakes me up and gets me out of that fog.)

I clean up any trash or soda from the previous hour and get replacements for the next hour.

I take one more walk around the house and if I have enough time I will do a few stretches.

I find that doing this every break keeps me less foggy in later breaks. Also, I find that the first two breaks are always the longest and give me more time.

During the breaks I take the opportunity to go to the bathroom, bring something to eat and drink, the tournaments are long and these cuts are very useful:D

Well, I usually go to the kitchen to prepare a snack, because I usually get thirsty and hungry for each game it is better to have something sweet, to raise the sugar and the desire to pressure the rivals

Five minute break is when I make a dash to the can and then the fridge. Better be sure to not mix them up either. LOL

I would either go to bathroom and do my business or put kettle on to make tea or coffee.
