Hi Stefan. Sounds like a loaded question, I really dont understand why anyone would put themselves at such a dis advantage when there is so much to take in at the table. I was the guy that the players would laugh at my jokes while taking my money and now I have been sober north of five years now. Playing poker has become a much more enjoyable experience for me. I can respect that player who can have a drink and handle it. But no one at most tables likes a drunk once he goes broke. Drinking or being the drunk is your call.--r
