How do you feel about poker when you drink? And what are you playing?

When I drink I try not to play poker.
There were a couple of cases when I lost a large amount in a cash game.
I advise all poker players not to mix poker and alcohol, nothing good will come of it.

If I wanna donk off my bankroll, and jump into HUGE buyins I drink..LOL But no, I try not to drink and play. Unless its live, I have ONE cookie monster, cuz I am a very shy person, and it helps my mingle)

poker and alcohol

I never drink when I'm playing poker I think it makes my judgement a little off
I try to stay sober. I think I win more money that way.

Ugh when I drink and play it always seems like the roulette table is right around the corner. If I'm winning I'm fine, but if something gross happens at the table, I can't control my impulses very well when I'm drinking, so I usually find myself docking around at the roulette table.

My performance at the table is better not drinking. There are plenty of activities I'd rather engage in drinking, than poker.

Drinking during the poker session is the worst thing ever - dont do that if you take poker seriously!

I think that when we meet with friends to play we usually drink but I do not recommend it if we really want to leave far away because alcohol diminishes the senses like playing when one is sleepy ... but if it's just for fun I do not see it badly

Everyone plays more aggressive and start talking a lot more than usual. I do not like to play against a person that drinks at the table. One time i lost some money when i underestimate him and followed some tells, but people in this state have no strategy, they just play almost every hand and raise a lot.

This is an old topic... and 100 times already discussed..))
everyone drinks and plays))))
:fight:

I noticed that players get gambley when they drink. Like they'll jam 940 BB stack at the 1/2 with 99. Personally I have a drink or two to relax me but then I chill.

it really just depends on how serious I'm taking the game. If I'm streaming, and playing low buy ins I will, but if there is an event going on that I'm taking seriously I wont.

I love to drink and gamble. I play a little different, looser, chasing draws, etc, but it's more fun so whatever.

If you decide to quickly get rid of the money that alcohol is the best assistant in this occupation, and this applies not only to poker! In General, the main fun and enjoyment from the game!

drugged i have been able to win a freeroll but drinking alcohol is literally impossible to me, i have tried it and for some reason i cant coordinate well the timeing

i get agressive... i win big and lose big.. and it is hard to quick in both situation

Nothing better than having A beer and a few chips while I play a game of holdem at the kitchen table. Nothing to excess by any means.

I drink when I play and you have not gotten me into anything.
Of course it's socially nice, I find it nice and relax during the game.
I've played without drinking too and I do not see a problem playing without the drink.
The important thing is to keep focus, concentration and clear drinking with parsiomonia.

Good game to everyone and always good luck!

In my experience, it appears things don't go my way.
Introspectively, I've done things I would not do otherwise.


Having drank and keep myself in check, for no explainable reason things still don't go my way.

I would never drink alcohol while I am playing poker. If your just playing for fun it might be ok with a group of friends but never for real money. I think alcohol can definitely affect your decision making and would definitely cause you to make bad decisions at the poker table. My advice would be to stay away from alcohol if you are a serious poker player. The more focused you are at the poker table with a clear mind the better chance you have of maximizing your winnings at the table!

I personally like to have a few drinks while I'm playing. I think this is one of those situations where it depends on the person. Like with many things, its best to drink in moderation when you're playing poker. Having a few drinks actually helps me play better by calming me down. If you're the type of person who will continue to drink until you're wasted, you probably shouldn't drink and play poker. Nobody plays good drunk. If you can drink in moderation you should have no problems. It may actually help you somewhat the way it helps me.

I think that if you are serious about poker, it is better not to drink alcohol during the game.

I,m sure, that this is not a good idea to drink anything and play poker at the same time, because in that moment you can,t controll yourself very well and you can loose a lot.

Most poker is more concerned with strimulyatorami instead of alcohol. Drink and play - a bad decision. But drugs are not output. You can drink just coffee:thrasher:
