Your opinion on 10 minute breaks

[Claudiunm]

I don't think 10 minutes would make much of a difference. I prefer 5 minutes. So it doesn't cool the table.

 

[mimietmour]

Why change? They must have receive lots of complaint, so why don't we complain the other way and tell them that 5 min is enough.

 

[10gerka]

I think it would be better, the 5 minutes they give are very short, they should improve that, but we must also keep in mind that they give 5 minutes for basic needs and not to do things that take a long time, there is much debate on this, but that they should change the time, that if I agree.

 

[WJMKAM]

I think the 5 minutes is sufficient for online. There should be longer breaks for live tournaments.

 

[thetaxman1]

no breaks at all is better. Wait for the Blind and take yourself a break. Its no worse than what you would do in a cash game.

 

[regata123]

I don't mind a 10 minute break in tournaments .

 

[Uncloggie]

Sounds good to me , count me in !
TG for mobile Apps - it's nice to be able to switch over while you're making a meal, etc...

 

[pirateglenn]

I have been a fan and advocate for longer breaks for a few years now, 5 mins is ridiculously short, dont get me wrong, i would certainly not want it any longer than 10 mins but it would be good to be able to not have to rush a comfort break and make a brew before you hear the beep..beep...beep of the clock lol.

 

[edenman1]

Im ok with 5 minutes

I think I prefer the 5 minute break, but maybe after 3 breaks (or 3 hours of tournaments) it could have a 10 minute break.

Ten minutes is ridiculous. Five minute breaks are synchronised.

If you have a really long tournament it is sometimes spread out over two days. We don't need longer than five minutes.

5 is fine for me, 10 is to long. Try 7?

I agree with this ^

I don't play tournaments very often these days but I did play in some this past weekend and noticed that one of the sites had 6min. breaks instead of the usual 5mins. (I think it was 888Poker but tbh I don't remember for certain)

 

[Oksana55]

5 minutes is good, 10 is a lot. But when the tournament lasts 4-5-6 hours, you can create 7 minutes

 

[StuLovesLemons]

I wouldn’t mind ten minute breaks.

 

[Piligrin66]

10 minutes is too much, in 5 minutes you can smoke a cigarette, drink a cup of coffee, that's quite enough.

 

[Sham3415]

I think 5 minutes is fine although sometimes it becomes short if you were just waiting for it to go to the bathroom, but as you already know when it cuts you retire a while before and that's it, although that's where the best hands come haha

 

[Vivaly]

Taking into account the fact that many are bored of sitting even at four tables, then five minutes is quite enough. The online game is dynamic, and here you need to adapt to the game, and not vice versa. :driver::elefant:

 

[Pokerpoet2]

I think 5 minute's is long enough, many games have an "I am ready button" that you can use but even then it is down to every player being ready, and clicking on it.
I don't mind waiting 5 minutes, on-line, even though I am ready to carry on playing right through, it is not a lifetime to wait, but not everyone is the same, some may need the Bathroom, or a Coffee/Tea break, some might even want a sandwich, but it does not take 10 minutes to throw a slice of Ham and Cheese, in between 2 slices of Bread. I know because I have done it many times.
You have to take into account that for the poker sites, Time is money and the more games they get through, the more they make, so be grateful for the 5 minute break, I don't think they would be pleased at giving you any longer.

When the fun Stops, STOP!
(take a break)

 

[Bennoda]

I think 5 minutes is quite enough, I didn't have a feeling, if only a 10 minute break in 5 minutes you usually have time to do all the things you need

 

[ronn6583]

In online poker, a 5 minute break is sufficient.
10 minutes is too much.

 

[TpaEnforcement]

Five minute break is enough, 10 minutes would just extend the tournaments longer. Most tournaments are long enough, so to add five more minute's wouldn't be good. That's only my opinion, others may feel differently. Everyone always talks, about shorting tournaments.

 

[KDKane1979]

Please no more breaks, interruptions and jump arounds at the tables. If you don't want to play, you can go offline or sit out.

 

[Tomek416]

5 minutes break is enough for me. 10 minutes seems a little excessive; maybe except for very long tourneys.
