What happens when you sit out in poker?

In a non-tournament setting, you can sit out for a few minutes and not lose any money. This time allows you to do any last minute things while not losing your seat at the table.

However, in a tournament, if you sit out, your blinds will still be taken and your chips will gradually diminish. In tournaments, it is advisable to use the scheduled break times, rather than sitting out.
