Hi.
Obviously, alcohol during the game will interfere with your concentration and no doubt increases the likelihood of making wrong decisions.
Good luck.

i learned a valuable lesson about drinking and playing poker..

i was playing 1/2 NL , bought in with $200 (min $100, max $300)

running pure, ran the stack up to $1800 (plus $500 high hand bonus) so $2300 (was sober as a duck.. started drinking after i ran up my stack)

ended up cashing out $1300 .. lost about a grand in less than an hour

dont drink and play!!

Sometimes I don't mind a glass of wine when I'm playing online in the evening. It helps me relax a little. Obviously drinking the whole bottle is not recommended I had a few drinks and played stressed poker, does alcohol affect you?

Hi mate.Fortunately,you understood you made a mistake.Poker and alcohol don�t work well together..Good luck next one!

When we drink alcohol, we open not which faces that eventually lead to a loss.Alcohol is relaxing and intoxicating.you lose concentration and make unthought-of moves.Keep yourself in hand by sitting down to play and not a drop of alcohol.

Never play stressed, it hurts your health!

#8 February 19th, 2020, 10:10 PM

Hello.
I do not see any point in playing drunk. Obviously, in this state, your chances of losing money are significantly increased.

A few drinks can be ok but not to the extend, drinking during a session will be the same as drinking and driving. I've learnth by loosing my bankroll. And tilt will get you cause you just want to win and win which is wrong. GL.

More you drink the player you bet or better you seem to do. Sure everyone drives better after just a few drinks.

#12 February 20th, 2020, 10:26 PM

I can drink beer if the game dragged on for a long time. Or if it's a game with friend, then I can drink strong alcocol.

#13 February 20th, 2020, 10:35 PM

Beware of alcohol and poker. I lie to you if I tell you that I don't like to drink when I play. If you do it moderately and can control your emotions and thoughts, everything will be fine. Otherwise, stay away from alcohol when you decide to play. (applicable to any type of game).
Greetings.

#14 February 20th, 2020, 10:37 PM

I think that if you are serious about poker, you should not combine drinking and playing.

#15 February 20th, 2020, 10:52 PM

Certainly alcoholic drink affects players' decisions.
You can be sure that many players have already done so, for sure many do not mix this anymore
alcohol plus poker (dangerous mix).

And madness for sure!!!

#16 February 21st, 2020, 2:43 PM

if I drink alcohol and sit down to play poker. my bluff level rises significantly and the line goes to lose.

#17 February 21st, 2020, 3:02 PM

It's usually not a great idea to drink when playing. If I'm playing lower stakes or a home game with buddies I don't mind. Anything for substantial $ I will not drink at all.

#18 February 21st, 2020, 3:41 PM

Id Say :O) even no drinks will stress your mind. Playing poker is like that, mixing that with to many drinks probably wont work out for no one :O) Good luck out there and keep grinding.

#19 February 21st, 2020, 3:56 PM

I never play drunk at money tournaments. Unless freerolls are an exception.

#20 February 21st, 2020, 5:23 PM

Poker and alcohol are like water and oil.I had a bad experience that devastated my cash desk in a couple of hours.So when you are drunk, do not play poker)

#21 February 21st, 2020, 5:36 PM

Alcohol turns the player into a fearless kamikaze.)) For some addicts, this is a kind of tranquilizer that helps them cope in a stressful situation. Generally speaking, in large quantities drunk alcohol is evil. Everything is useful in moderation.

Hi

#23 February 21st, 2020, 6:11 PM

Hi, better not drink alcohol playing poker

#24 February 22nd, 2020, 12:54 PM

If your results are important to you, you better not play drunk. There are many other interesting things you can do drunk, such as drinking beer. I had a few drinks and played stressed poker, does alcohol affect you?

#25 February 22nd, 2020, 2:57 PM

Alcohol tends to loosen me up and I bluff a lot more, which can get me into a lot of trouble.

#26 February 22nd, 2020, 3:21 PM

I think playing poker under the influence of alcohol is like driving a car while intoxicated. It can drive several times, but the consequences can be disastrous.

I'm just the opposite and I have played at the same table more than a few times with people who had "too much" to drink. If you can't play smart and aggressively under many different and unique conditions as they arise then play safe.
I personally don't let all my guards down when drinking and playing but I do become more engaging and play a more psychological game where I seem better able to assess bluff potential.
As I say once in a while, the best cards don't always win. I had a few drinks and played stressed poker, does alcohol affect you?

#29 February 22nd, 2020, 3:32 PM

In my personal case ... if it affects me ... it distracts me a lot ... I don't concentrate what is necessary in the game ... I don't recommend it to anyone ...! when playing poker ... you need to be very focused to be able to read more clearly to opponents ...!

#30 February 22nd, 2020, 3:42 PM

Obviously alcohol doesn't help on poker because we lost concentration ...Not a good idea drinking while playing I had a few drinks and played stressed poker, does alcohol affect you?

#31 February 22nd, 2020, 3:58 PM

Its good that you found what is the problem for you. Many people don't want to accept fact that something is there in their life's and they are continuing to go against them self. First step for solving the problem is accepting that you are having it. Stay sober mate

#32 February 22nd, 2020, 5:43 PM

as long as you drink moderately and if it is more than you should always affect what you do and that will generate bad results

#33 February 22nd, 2020, 6:18 PM

Good afternoon;

In fact, drinking helps, in my opinion, but only if you are going to drink moderately. Alcohol causes a lot of upheaval for the person and ends up causing him to have actions with serious consequences.

Alcohol and poker should only be mixed if you're in it for the fun. When you're playing like a maniac with several people in an open table, you're bound to be seen as the "fish" lmao.

Good luck next time, and hope you learned from your experience I had a few drinks and played stressed poker, does alcohol affect you?

#36 February 23rd, 2020, 7:41 PM

I dont find that it affects my overall play, but it gives me a worse feel of the ebbs and flows of the table.

#37 February 23rd, 2020, 8:57 PM

It really does affect me and very much! I played couple time little bit drunk and my play was so stupid that I don't even want to remember it

#38 February 25th, 2020, 11:36 AM

Everything that messes with your physical and mental state affects your poker game and alcohol does both. Best is to avoid playing drunk. Saying that for me personally sometimes (not every time) one beer (just one 500ml) helps me to relax and focus to the game. Anything more than that have negative effect on my game.

As almost everybody i have also played drunk and if you play freerolls or micro, you don't care about the end result and you are not susceptible to tilt while drunk you can still play drunk for some fun. Most people though are easily susceptible to tilt while drunk so good general advice is to avoid alcohol while you play.

#39 March 23rd, 2020, 4:55 PM

Drinking alcohol is pointless in some way. it makes you crazy, destroy the concentration, you have no focus on the right things. So better in any way to drink clear, healthy water

#40 March 23rd, 2020, 4:58 PM

I'm easy because I never drink alcohol. Therefore, I do not know what my game would be in alcoholic condition.
