what do you usually do in your spare time from long poker tournaments? Whether it's online tournaments or live poker tournaments. They usually give like 5 minutes break. what are you doing? Do you take a breather to clear your head or maybe you stay analyzing your played hands, opponents and the chips they have?

I use the 5-minute break to make myself tea and a sandwich :)
And in my opinion, this is the most effective use of this time.
If I want to analyze my game or the game of my opponents, I do it after the end of the tournament, because a 5-minute break is simply not enough for that :)

Whatever you do if you sit down and play: get up from the chair and move. Sitting for hours can destroy the vein valves in your lower legs.

Hi,
The online tournament breaks are too short to be doing anything special.
I go the bathroom obviously, I eat something when I get hungry, I make a coffe or tea...
Gl at the tables

Unfortunately, I smoke. I waste time taking another hit of nicotine. A terrible habit. I hope I can pull myself together and quit this shit.

very good, I usually get up and go outside the setup location to relax.
It's usually not a good decision-making process at halftime to use cell phones or social media because your mind is stuck with those messages.
I also think it's very bad to review played hands, in which case there is a pre-grind time to carry out these studies.

I just smoke. This is what I always do during my break. Also, I can go get myself a beer if it's in my fridge :)

the first thing I do is go to the toilet after I wash my hands and pour myself something to drink juice or tea, then I try to open the window to get some fresh air, it's already open, but when I finish playing, I stick my head out to get some fresh air then I warm up my arms, legs and back if I've done everything, I lie down for a while if I don't have time, I do the rest the next break

Usually in my free time I try to get as far away from poker as possible in order to relax as much as possible, watch movies, series or just walk on the street

Strength friend!!! I am a doctor and there are nicotine pills and patches which help to gradually stop smoking. But most of all anxiety is difficult. Chewing gum helps or exercising! The most important thing is, when you're ready to quit, you're going to make it! :)

Go to the toilet and pick a glass of water or some snacks. Definitely not anything poker related.

I am watching movies and series, so 2 hobbies are solved at the same time. You can eat or even bathe while playing, just focus!

I usually go to the bathroom, drink coffee, breathe a little on the balcony, and other things I can do in 5 minutes.

I go to the bathroom whether I need to or not. Sometimes I wash my face just to freshen up. The rest I do in between hands which is the convenience and beauty of the online game!
