Your opinion on 10 minute breaks

[jleon_zat]

Take a 20 min break after 3 hours of play and drink water

 

[PC91]

No please. 5 minutes is fine.

 

[7jules]

With a bit of forward planning 5 minutes work Ok. there is the odd occasion where longer would be helpful, but you can always tick the away box. the program seems to account for that....or does it?

 

[stig7tfm]

5 min breaks are plenty of time for me.

 

[lolshovaments]

Zoom/Rush poker is the best option, since 5 minutes is enough for all poker rooms and most of players in tournaments.

 

[StreetPhd]

Sometimes the 5 minute break isn't quite long enough.
I do find that when I am more organized, like making a snack in advance, it works.
I would prefer 7 minutes as a happy medium for the many folks that would like 10 min breaks.
Good luck at the tables.

 

[flattershay]

Maybe like once every 3 hours and not more that than

 

[Raphael Zabel]

5 min is fine, in a MTT it will be another 1-2 hours of tournament just at break. When necessary, just stay sit-out.

I rarely play long tou9rneys, but when I do I plan my meals before. I play on pokerstars and if I'm doing something where I need longer I transfer the App to my phone. Do other sites have Apps?

Before you start playing in a tournament you already know that this can probably take several hours and that's why I try to make coffee and food beforehand so that I don't have to worry about it during the tournament. For me 5 minutes are enough. If it took longer then the tournament would take a lot longer and then some people would have problems with the blind intervals and we would have another discussion. I believe that there will always be people who will prefer one or the other, but unfortunately you can't please everyone

I think 10 minutes is a long time, I think a 5 minute break is fine, to go to the bathroom, eat something, or hydrate ...

 

[Poker Orifice]

10mins. is way too long

 

[No Bologna]

5 minutes is perfect. Plan food ahead of time, Smoke and unwind in 5 is good.

 

[shim36]

For me, a 5-minute break is optimal.
That's because the time is neither too short nor too long.

 

[eliasyarosh]

I like 10 minute break. I think it is better

 

[Garfield52]

One thing I think is that there should not be a break when the game gets down to a few players from the bubble point. Why stop then ? They should be able to over ride the breaks then. My luck that would be the time when I make a dash for the john only to get back with the game started and me losing on a good set of cards that could put me in the money.

I think if you play long tournaments it is a very good reason to relax, but when you just started playing it is inappropriate and when a lot of people really wait for the end of all hands

 

[Rahatis]

Maybe every second hour a 10' break would be fine.

 

[daurensdo]

very long, 5 minutes is enough for the eyes

 

[BodyCount]

Maybe every second hour a 10' break would be fine.

Sounds acceptable.

 

[abgvedr]

My wife always says 10 minutes beter then 5
Really need bigger breaks man, those tournaments go for 5 hours thats too much

 

[toni_brasco]

sometimes 10 is not enough, but usually can`t wait so long...

 

[StateDeParis]

10 min. îs too long for online poker.

 

[funnyhook3]

10 min. îs too long for Online Poker.
