Synchronised breaks in online poker tournaments

Playing large open online poker tournaments can take hours to complete if you do well and if you’re one of the growing number of multi-tabling online poker players this can mean that you go without a break for hour and hours on end, which when nature calls is easier said than done. However a handful of the top poker sites have introduced synchronised breaks in their online poker tournaments to prevent this from being a problem.

Playing online poker tournaments without breaks leaves you with one awkward decision, do I sit out of a couple of hands and take a break quickly or do a wearily battle on without a break but synchronised breaks takes away this problem. The top three poker sites to offer synchronised breaks are PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker and the most recent poker site to introduce synchronised breaks, UltimateBet. Intelligently these three poker sites have got their heads together and chosen the same time to have their synchronised breaks.

What are synchronised breaks?

Synchronised breaks are simply breaks in online poker tournaments that take place at the same time. As a rule, the largest majority of online poker tournaments hosted at any of the poker sites will have a break at 55 minutes past the hour meaning that all tournaments that you were playing in would start at roughly the same time.

UltimateBets decision to introduce synchronised breaks at the same time as the world’s top two poker sites is a canny move and will certainly be followed by many other poker sites in the not-to distant future.
