Alcohol

What, in any case can not drink the game. When I drink, I always lose. By degrees pour serious money into the game, which then leads to serious problems. You can not use any of expanders of consciousness, it is all a negative effect on people and the game. Yes I agree that without whiskey boring, but it's never a positive effect on the end result. Alcohol inhibits the activity of the brain responsible for rational thinking, planning, assessment of the situation, the suppression of anger, and even the memory. So choose, or play, or a drink and play. And I have due to alcohol in life was a lot of mistakes, and not just in poker. If you do not measure and you can not stop in time, this is not for you.

alcohol

Every time I drink alcohol when I'm playing online poker I play way too many hands. Not only do I play too many hands I tend to start bluffing at points I have no business being in. I do find that smoking a joint makes me more patient at the tables.

I am not a big drinker to start with, but depends who I am playing with if I have a drink or two. I never drink when playing at the casino, by never I mean less then 1% of the time.

Even the medical attitude to alcohol is different. It all depends on the dose, type and quality of alcohol. During the game, I do not drink.

Previously, I didn’t even sit down to play without beer and merged the entire bankroll, then I tied up with this habit I drink tea for refreshment at breaks:)

I don`t drink alcohol at all. Sometimes I drink coffee during the poker session.

no, and one should not drink alcohol while playing poker, because poker is a thought game, and as soon as it is drunk, it loses concentration :D

I drink alcohol when I play poker. I often get anxiety in my regular dealings with people, so drinking alcohol will generally put me more at ease around so many strangers at a live game.

I'm no longer a young man, and have spent a great deal of money learning that excessive drinking is a bad idea. For me, I would make terrible decisions when I over indulged in beer or drinks. Now, in alcohol's defense, I'm more than capable of making bad decisions sober, as well. They usually aren't as expensive.

1) Have you drunk alcohol when you play poker either online or live?

Every, yes, but I would not if it was a serious game

2) What do you think of moderate alcohol consumption as a disinhibitor method to play more concentrated?

I think finding the balance between increased concentration and over the line is hard to find, and not worth the risk.

3) What is your method of concentration when you play poker?


Just kick back some redbulls and rockin roll.

Occasionally, when I play live, I will have a few drinks to help me relax. I'm always a bit nervous when I first sit at the table. After a little while, I calm down. If I can't, I will order a drink.

Not live not online, but I've seen people lose control or just gamble while playing, but I it was a home game with friends probably on or two.
