I have had an experience of playing poker while intoxicated, and this experience has always been sad, I lost money! Therefore, I do not advise you to play while intoxicated, as your thoughts will be clouded and you will not be able to adequately make decisions! But if you are comfortable to sit and play poker with one glass of beer and everything is fine with the game, then why not do it! Either way, the choice is yours, but I think most players will tell you that poker and alcohol don't mix! Good luck at the tables!When i play poker,i tend to play better when i have a cupple of beers.. I think its because I guts a bit more any thougts?
