It seems to me that a medium term would be fine
Breaks of 7 or 8 minutes would be ideal, 10 seems a lot to me

I think 7 minutes would be great gives you time to grab something to eat and stretch the legs.

Those 5 minute breaks actually feel like 7 minutes because when it says tournament goes on break end of current hand, already time has started and also every table has to finish current hand before the actual 5 minute break starts the count.

5 minutes is enough time, if you need more you can sit out a few hands.

5 is just right. Any longer takes away from the game.

In 10 minutes you can have a cup of coffee, smoke a cigarette, or bet on sports.

Take a short break in the fresh air in 10 minutes and take a deep breath. Relaxed, sit down at the table after 10 minutes and take the chips away from the others :)

Are you guys serious? This is online poker, if you want to go out for a smoke, go ahead. Who's keeping you at the table? Five minutes is enough time.

:cool: I don't like the time, I think 5 minutes is more than enough, to eat and go to the bathroom.

in online tournaments each hour the players get a break for 5 minutes . i think it should be 10 minutes instead because then you can make yourself a sandwich or if you need to go to the restroom and take longer etc.

what is your opinion on this ?


Hello I agree, as long as all the rooms fit this

Most of the time, between the message that the five minute break will start when all hands are finished and the end of the break is almost ten anyway. I oppose this, especially for long tournaments.

It would be better if after 1 hour 50 minutes there was a break of 10 minutes.

Hi I’m my respect 5 minutes is just time only to go the bathroom,and there are times that I end up cooking and going to the bathroom just in 5 minutes! It is crazy [emoji4]

I think 10 minutes is a lot of time for a break every 55 minutes

I get used to have 5 minute breaks on the tournaments i play after 55 minutes, so i think 10 minutes break should be good if it is a deepstack. 5 minutes is overall ok to drink some water, go to the bathroom and relax your mind haha.
