Have you ever had a case when you are playing a tournament and the blinds are too large but you really want to go to the toilet:icon_boun:vroam: (close-up):D?) You play from the pc, you have few chips but you don’t want to miss a hand either, what will you do?

I will go fast to the toilet in the start of the next hand which I am not going to play and the bonus time I have will expire and the hand will be folded slowly and will come back for the next hand. That's why I love that bonus time during the hand plays.

It is difficult to answer that question, I imagine what must happen for me, the body commands

If I'm very deep in a tournament and I think I might loose multple hands I would setup the poker App on my phone (if that is available). I guess I can also ask my wife to yell the cards to me and press buttons.

Since I have WIFI it is not a problem. I just carry my PC in there with me if needed.

I usually go to the bathroom during breaks, but when that happens, I go to the bathroom and leave the time bank running or transfer the game to my cell phone.

Of course, I will be patient. :icon_boun
After all, only with patience can a poker player succeed. Therefore, I recommend everyone to be patient in such situations. If you endure enough you will surely succeed. :icon_boun:star::D

The bathroom situation has happened to me, the easiest thing is to open the app on my cell phone, my problem is that sometimes there are several tables and different rooms ,,, normally what I do is leave the time bank and I assume that I will lose several hands, the only thing I try is to hold on until the big blind reaches me in the tournament that has the biggest blinds:jd4::jd4::jd4::jd4:

I know that there is a break for 5 minutes, but if this happens after the break or before the break for another 30 minutes, but you urgently need to use the toilet);)

The beginning of the post was promising, I thought the question of the game in the late stage, but it turned out to be a matter of physiological needs:D

When the blinds are high, then the extra time is decent. You can wait for the blinds to pass through you and then you can leave.

this happened to me today...i pissed into a bottle....simple. You never know when you're gonna get the hand you need.
Imagine...you go to the toilet...come back and find you were folded aces..not funny.

make good decisions. is the tournament a high limit or a freeroll. is the maximum price worth more than a new pair of underwear? i would see position and go all in depending if I have good cards or not since I have few chips and high blinds. this is a good reason why you don't waste seconds in your time bank because they would be useful in these situations like wait for the dealer button then run to the restroom and/plus try to hit the hourly 5 minute break mark so you can have extra time.

You could have worded that different. The problem is not the blinds are big but your stack is short you have to stay ahead of the blinds.

I would simply use my time bank when I had garbage.

Yeah, definitively will wait for a hand I would fold and leave at the start of the hand and let the time bank buy me a few seconds too. Next hand, I'm back.

Don't forget to wash your hands. Please.

It depends on what kind of stack I will have and the apponents at the table. If the stack is a chipleader, then of course I will play more aggressively , if it is short, then I will look for a moment to double up:jd4::jd4:
