Hello everyone, I have some questions about alcohol in poker.

1) Have you drunk alcohol when you play poker either online or live?

2) What do you think of moderate alcohol consumption as a disinhibitor method to play more concentrated?

3) What is your method of concentration when you play poker?

I clarify that I am not drinking alcohol when I play regularly, although I must admit that if I like to drink very occasionally when playing and moderately. :)

Greetings.

drinkin and playing

This is the thing. If your drinking causally and slow it shouldn't affect you in short term.

Good example. i played a tourney the other night. I started drinking around the beginning. I ended up in the money in second place. By then i was feeling good so i took my winning and went to the cash tables. I started off killing it. Ran my winning up 4 fold. Funny thing is you dont pay attention as much and make woopty do calls. By the time I drank my last beer I had lost all of it. So yes you can drink and play and the other players will not complain if you do. But I would advise not to. See ya the tables.:flute::flute::flute:

No alcohol

Personally not much of a drinker., but I do drink. As far as mixing it with poker, prefer not too.

Booze will just make my play sloppier and I don’t want to mess with that when I’m playing for real money.


Listening to music or silence is how I play online

Very rarely do I drink alcohol these days. If I’m home playing online it’s definitely not happening. While playing live cashgames at the casinos I may imbibe with a drink or 2, if the table is really fun and has a friendly vibe. Also, may have a ****tail during the last level of a tournament, or last orbit or hour or so (if I am up or not down anything significant) to unwind and relax. Never am I playing poker while drinking excessively or drunk. I see those players bleeding money and making poor decisions based on tilt and lack of control.

I don't usually drink alcohol when I'm playing online and I think this is the most correct if you want to have good results, but in live if the intention is to have fun I see nothing against having a drink.

No, I don’t drink alcohol at all !!!

The line between concentration and ... too much alcohol is too thin, and you may not notice it by accident!

my method of good concentration is to have a good rest before the game !!!

when I play in good expensive tournaments or play cash games at high stakes, I don’t drink alcohol and I try to concentrate on the game and get good winning results, and when I have cheap tournaments or freerolls somewhere, I can sometimes drink alcohol drinks because I lose very little or lose nothing at all in my bankroll, but it’s better not to drink alcohol in the game so as not to lose all your money in your bankroll, in the game you need to concentrate for a good game only sober without alkogolya, but this is my opinion

Sometimes I drink alcohol, but then I do not play poker because it is very difficult for me to focus and stay patient.

I sometimes drink alcohol when I play poker, but for me it's bad, I lose control of myself and almost always lose.

Hello.
In my opinion, alcohol while playing poker usually has a negative effect on the outcome. If poker players drink alcohol while playing, this indicates a frivolous attitude towards the game.

Well i don't drink alcohol under any circumstances playing poker so i guess no amount is advisable. But if you want to drink while we're playing i'll take all your chips with pleasure kkk

no I never drink alcohol playing poker except when I'm with friends and my goal is just to have a good time. it's hard to make the right decisions if you do not have a clear mind. I usually drink a lot of water and take vitamin C to help me stay focused.

I drink alcohol very rarely. Alcohol has a negative effect on reaction and concentration. Therefore, during the game I do not drink.
