Alcohol while MTTing

Low amounts of alcohol, does it help you gaming or hurts it.

Like driving it can impair your driving. It will reduce your ability for cognitive function. You will in general be slower.

But...

It can relax you in a tense situation. Being calm in tough spots counts for a lot.

So what do you think good for your game or bad for your game?

I think a small amount does not hinder. But may depends on experience. I guess it could make you more reckless and that may pay off or lose. Always take a break if things go south and don't chase losses. Keep your bankroll for another day :-)

drank - do not disturb your bankroll
take care of your nerves

IT helps because You feel more confident to bluff

#5 May 2nd, 2020, 12:31 PM

I wouldnt risk it
before you know it you do something stupid
or make a mistake and lose everything

i would just play sober unless you don't get drunk after 2-3 beers then thats fine

Seen to many stories online about people losing it all while being drunk

not a smart move to begin with.

Of course, the first thing that comes to mind, do not drink alcohol at all, and especially when you have to make any decisions, and the poker game is decision making.
but if you already understand something in poker, and when drinking alcohol, you won’t start playing poker like in slot machines. then I assume that this will not greatly affect your game, and even perhaps give an unexpected experience if you start experimenting (under the influence of alcohol), that is, for example, try to bluff more often or open bluffs more often. it all depends on personal introspection.
in general, I would not recommend playing MTT under alcohol. if you really want to play, it is better to choose sng or mtt sng.

Well ... as human beings we are ... we are all different ... for this reason some people like alcoholic drinks and others do not ... so I think the way it affects the way we play poker it will be different from each other ... being very good in some cases or very bad in others

personally alcohol does not help me play well. even when it is for small quantities. he pushes me to play too many hands and to take risks that I would normally avoid if I was not alcoholized. I think it is better to be at 100% of these capacities to make the right decisions.

I would avoid any alcohol. Poker is first and foremost a game based on your ability to read your opponents and make correct mathematical decisions. Alcohol will no doubt impair these abilities and make you a losing player in the long term.

I think this is an exceptionally individual moment. Someone makes it easier, someone Vice versa. But I think everyone should try it))

Clearly, alcohol harms both driving and playing poker, attention is dulled and we see the same situation differently and make fatal mistakes.

#12 May 2nd, 2020, 4:59 PM

Don’t drink and drive, don’t drink and play cards.
If you’re playing a home game with friends for pennies then by all means get trashed and have fun.

Don't drink, because you will losse your bankroll, but I hear sometimes you can be lucky. Alcohol while MTTing

Like you guys watch Live at the Bike? They be pouring full glasses of wine!

I can say with confidence that the bulk of money is lost in a state of alcoholic intoxication. If you drink, it is better not to play at all, but to spend time with your loved ones or those who drink with you, if you drink yourself and thereby want to justify yourself that playing under beer or whiskey is normal, there are exceptions many drag only under doping, there are a lot of people who play under drugs.

Alcohol is always harmful to any business as the general concentration is lost which leads to not quite deliberate actions.

I think the same way.
Me for example:
I like to play poker drinking beer and sometimes cacha�a.

I dont think, alcohol is a performance enhancer and also not in poker. But if you are playing partly for fun, as most of us are, consuming small amounts of alcohol while playing poker is no big deal.

#19 May 17th, 2020, 11:30 AM

well it depends a lot on the reaction of Cade player ex: I had a friend of mine who whenever he drank and played poker was expelled from the table for changing his alcohol and harming the other players at the table. but there are players who drink alcohol to relax and feel confident at the poker table in my case I don't like it very much!

#20 May 17th, 2020, 11:39 AM

definitely poker and alcohol are not compatible, because the concentration of attention is lost, and the quality of decision-making.

#21 May 17th, 2020, 4:20 PM

Regarding alcohol in the game, I believe that it does not hinder but helps to relax, especially those who spend hours and hours playing. imagine the tension of the player and everything he knows can flow naturally in several moves. without losing focus and getting drunk from there already becomes a tremendous problem.
