To be honest, yes, I do get bored sometimes. But that only happens in satellites and tournaments with low prize money guarantees. However, I can't say that the quality of my game deteriorates when I'm bored. My goal in every tournament is always victory.

I am always happy when I have free time to play. I play 4-6 tables at the same time, never get bored and get maximum pleasure
If you are bored, open at least one more table.

I don't think I get to the point of getting bored, before I get bored I get stressed out hahaha, and after stressing out I stop, so I think I never get bored, when I'm not so focused what I do is watch my cell phone while playing time or watch a video

I also feel that I sometimes need breaks and when I use games more for bigger stakes, because big tournaments are sometimes hard to hold on, does anyone have experience how to win better in tournaments

That is why I will play turbo touneys and 6 max cash games when I feel that way.

Yes often, I've listed a few of the reasons why below.
A large chunk of the skill in poker is fighting the effects of this boredom and coming up with ways to mitigate it.
Long stretches of folding – Mucking 70–80% of hands, which can feel like sitting on the sidelines
Predictable opponents – Facing the same nits or the same maniacs every session can remove the sense of challenge
Repetitive decision spots – Playing similar ranges and board textures over and over can start to feel mechanical
No meaningful pots – Whiffing flops or not getting action on big hands, it can feel like nothing’s happening
Excessive tanking – Players who take forever on every decision can drain momentum (You know who you are..)
Overly loose games – Poker turns into boring Bingo
Fatigue from long sessions – Even exciting games lose their spark if grinding for 8–12 hours straight
No personal stakes or goals – Not playing for meaningful money or working toward improvement, motivation fades
Bad beats – Losing big pots time after time when you were far ahead can be frustrating and sap the enjoyment out of the game
