Amazing to see this comeback. I love it.
It never hurts to sit out when the blinds come around to you, sit out, and go get a snack to eat and a drink. I would also play hungry and fatigued and this hurt my game. And when you think about it...taking a quick 10-20 minute break can fix all this and save you quite a few buy-ins. Basically, it's very -EV to NOT take that break and reboot your mental and physical being.
