Your opinion on 10 minute breaks

[antonis32123]

I have also thought of this , sometimes I would like the break to be more than 10 minutes , but then again the tournaments would last even more and that's not good , also it would take more time to get to ITM places , more delay is no good . The good thing is that on big tourneys ,waiting for all hands to be finished until the break begins , that might mean 1 or 2 more minutes added to the 5 minuted break time

I think every poker player needs a break to relax, maybe get a short refreshment in the fresh air, something to eat ... and a lot more. A break is always good, but I think that it is at a live event needs more time

 

[lexyyxel]

you will need this break especially when you are on tilt

 

[Snake2007]

I think 6 minutes is enough. You can go to the bathroom and drink something in 6 minutes as it is no longer now break.

 

[tamara822]

I definitely agree with you that 5 minute breaks are not enough. All players know why.

 

[blackknives]

5 minutes is enough, since you can take care of some things during the game, unless it's hyper speed.

 

[samsonand]

They are not 10, they are 5 minutes of which they are very short, they should be much longer for a good rest

 

[Pawlowski]

I like the idea of 10 minutes. In general 5 minutes is ok but 10 would Be better.

 

[diego farfan]

Sounds good to me but you have to take into account that with ten minutes you can also lose the thread of the game and I say it with experience because I have passed it by that I see more convenient only 5 minutes

 

[Claudiunm]

I think 10 minutes is a very long interval. I prefer 5 minutes. It's enough and you don't get cold.​

 

[PokStorm]

This is a point of view worth discussing. 5 minutes is a bit short and 10 minutes can be a bit long, between the two that would be perfect.

Longer breaks

I am retired so longer breaks would be great, it takes us old folk a bit longer to do what youngins do in their twenties. Going to the bathroom and walking to and from. This is genius I am all in for longer breaks. This would be a blessing. Capo1014

 

[edenman1]

Im ok with 5 minutes, its about right..

 

[Vallet]

A ten-minute break will allow me to sleep before the tournament resumes again. It's good to have something to do during the break. But imagine that you just sit and wait for the others. And the longer the waiting time, the longer it takes.

 

[scobido]

I say because it depends on the time the tournament is played, if it is played at night I don't think these long breaks would be good, but at daytime I think longer breaks would be welcome.

 

[dorynel7]

It s ok with 5 minutes break, its too much 10 minutes.

 

[liviuplayspoker]

No, for me its not good, because if the Breaks are longer, also the games are shorter and the Tourney would be longer to play, i want also everytime to play nonstop a tournament, because i can concentrate better! 5 Minutes are very good for my opinion!

 

[kngofpkr]

Maybe you are right. 10 minutes is reasonable. But 5 min is enough for me to make a cup of coffee. but yeah why not 10?

 

[Rob Hobson]

It's too much (4 me).

 

[Queen of poker]

I am smoking...little nervous... Then relax and dreaming about win

 

[samsonand]

the ten minutes are the best but in most of the tables it is only 5 minutes so it does not allow you to do almost anything

 

[johnwat2]

Five minutes is okay with me. I think ten minutes is too much.

Be Well

 

[Michel_11]

We are already so used to just five minutes of break that we don't even think about it.

Really, if it were ten minutes break, it would be much better. Five minutes is very little, there is no time to eat anything, we have to do everything running.

 

[pltelles]

10 minutes would be a great time. Why not?

 

[danoscar]

Hello. That's a great idea. It would be better and give enough time to do some small things and also to review my play.
