    I like it. I multitable with MTTs
    Even if you didnt play MTTs and just grinded 45s, a universal break is still a good thing

    i think the synch breaks are going to piss off the casual player. all you mofos who think you own turbo 45s are nothing without the casual player. if there are no rec players you suckas won't win shit.

    but it doesnt make the break longer or more of them... it just changes the time. Doesnt affect bladders or attention spans of our beloved rec players. Nicely done stars i like the move

    IMO STUPID to have breaks. If you want to Multi 20 tables then its on you to piss in a Hatoraide bottle.

    Ugh this sucks

    What's retarded is that since I'm using auto-registration, usually a table will pop up during the break, and won't be on break. So I'm forced to stay here and one table, or sit out.

    So what is happening is ur auto-reg is registering tournys just before or just after break starts? Just set ur auto-reg to not register 5 minutes before break... depending on what ur playing.

    They might at well just have everything break at :55. The only people that would complain are 18 man and under, and i play 9 mans and think it wouldnt be that big of a deal and would settle all the what sngs should break and what shouldnt arguments

    something tells me the casual player won't mide a 5 min break, i'm sure the casual players also play tourneys and don't mind the 5 min break, especially for those that play a couple hours in a day it is nice to piss without running to the bathrro to do it.

    I think a lot of people are forgetting that a lot of casual players still play like 2-6 tables. They may not be 20 tabling for 10 hours straight, but they cant take breaks during their sessions either. I'm pretty sure this is going to be liked by a large majority of stars players.

    One of the best things about 45 turbos is that they only take a little over an hour or so. These games never had breaks before, and it was great. They added breaks to them. I hate it. Depending on when games start you can even get two breaks now when two days ago there were zero. For the casual player I'm sure this isn't a problem, and they may even think it's the coolest thing since sliced bread. For someone who puts out 600+ games in a week you're talking about adding 3000+ minutes to the play time. I understand the convenience in MTTs and even non turbo mtsngs, but the idea behind the turbo mtsng is to get the game in without taking all day. I know it's only 5 mins per hour, but when you start multiplying that 5 mins it gets costly in a game that you get paid by the hour. How would you guys feel you worked a 9-5 and your boss told you that in addition to your lunch break he was taking 8% of your paycheck to cover breaks that you may or may not be taking and whether you wish to take them or not?

    I definitely feel you Pyro. Right now I have one 45-man left and of course it's on break. Great, I have to wait another 5 minutes to finish this.

    Please leave breaks for the 180's, not the 45's.

    LOL they certainly don't add 50 hours of worktime per week, but they really shouldn't be in the 45 mans

    Yeah, I know the 5 minutes are going to be running at the same time every hour and it won't actually be 3000 minutes of real time. It will, however, be 3000 minutes of game time. Does that really not make any sense?
