Drinking and playing

I think I play better when I am drunk, it loosens me up. Last night i played a cash game with 8 of my friends. I borrowed ten dollars from my girlfriend because I had no money. I won 70 dollars in 3 hours. When i started to sober up, however, i discontinued to win. After 7 hours of playing, i ended up with 67 dollars.

Does anybody else play better when they are drunk?

Too much information buddy

Anyways... If you think drinking loosens you up, why not play lower limits... you can loosen up and still stay sober-sharp.

On occasion, I too imbibe. However, other than it loosens me up a bit after some stressful event, I can't tell a winning story.

Totally agree, I highly recommend drinking & playing. The perfect scenario is drinking to excess then sitting at a table with me. Thanks in advance for the donations.

P.S. ChuckT's should totally disregard the above.

re: Drinking and playing

you mispelled 'men' PQ. and the reason drinking helps some people is that it helps them treat their money more like units/chips rather than actual dollars, which is very necessary.

drinking is okay if its light but I think a lot of the time, people want to drink more than they should.

I dont do it because my play is sharper when sober, but if it helps you to drink, just dont get inebriated.

I only drink during home games, with friends and stuff. but never get to drunk. Online however not. Maybe because when I drink, sitting behind a computer for longer than an hour is never on top of my list!

moderation

heres a tip i enjoy at the casinos. i dont drink to get enebriated but if i have a drink about every hour or so, i get just a bit relaxed and it gives the impression im a very loose player which helps to get more money in my winning pots lol

When I play at home I have some beers sometimes, I play better myself with about five or six in me, but past that I get way too loose so I usually shut the beer or the poker off after six, and it's usually the poker, lol.

re: Drinking and playing

I must be a complete donk when I get completely hammered! Twice now (since I started playing for money online) I've woken up not remembering how I got home. Both times I woke up to "the table is now closed" and down a good chunk of coin.
I really should think of a way to make it more difficult for me to get online. Do they have breathalizers for computers?

LMAO.....good one. I've been in the purveyance of computers and their technology for 15 years now.....think I just solved the computer breathalizer test for online poker players that may resolve this issue. It'll cost ya $5 for my solution....Paypal accepted......lol

(and it does work and 100% money back guarantee!!!!!!)

Cheers!

i find that it also makes me more patient also though. when i know i have cards that i shouldnt bet on, ill just say just fold, sit back, and enjoy the buzz. This prevents me from getting bored when i keep getting dealt cards that usually get me into trouble

wow the very same for me. I got really high one night put some music on and turned 5 dollars into 150 in 2 hours. I then lost it all through a series of stupid moves and bad luck.

I think being high or drunk helps i have no idea why but it definitely helps me
