Poker & alcohol?

[Tanamita]

I am against mixing the game and alcohol, it's dangerous, you don't understand the game very well

I sometimes play freerolls with a bottle of wine and I have never won a freeroll in this condition.

Every player is different, and for some people, drinking in moderation can help relieve tension and calm their nerves. It is important to understand your limits and control how much you drink so as not to lose your clarity of thought and efficiency in the game.
If alcohol helps you relax and maintain good control over your game, then this may be a positive thing for you personally. However, it is always recommended to be careful not to drink too much alcohol so that your performance is not affected in the long run.

Any positive part? (Personally) when I play live it helps me to calm my nerves, I control it very well, what do you think?

Alcohol has a negative effect on my game. I start to play more aggressively, which is not my nature, and this kind of play leads to mistakes and frustration. So, not only do I have a headache in the morning, but also my bankroll is getting smaller. That's why I don't play drunk

Having a little alcohol occasionally used to help me play more relaxed and calmly, but I wouldn't drink all the time while playing poker.

It affects a lot and not only poker, more than 3 million people around the world die as a direct or indirect result of alcoholism.
You can even be a person who thinks he is totally strong in the face of alcohol, but anyone who drinks has already gone through unpleasant situations in life.
In poker, if you intend to be a winner, you must consume allcoll socially on off days, because alcohol, in the same way that calms you down, takes away many of the necessary factors for a good mental development in decision-making and emotional.
Poker you deal with personal development every moment of your career, how! Discipline that is fundamental to a good live series game or online grind will affect you in a huge way and you will be behind your opponents who train and work their mind daily.
Ex go out for a weekend and drink when you get back to your gaming routine you will see that your mind is not fully prepared, until it returns to normal it will take a long time for you to be able to make the best decisions.
Pro poker or serious grind is not indicated alcohol and other licit and illicit drugs.

Poker and drinking alcohol is not a good combination for me.
I almost always had worse results when I consumed alcohol while playing poker.
It might be a winning combination for some, but not for me.

Poker and alcohol are incompatible things.

 

[stank12345]

Go ahead and drink if you are playing at a table with me I need all the help I can get

 

[dimon4ik89]

I have a negative attitude towards alcohol, and I think that when it comes to gambling or some other serious occupation, then alcohol is superfluous here. If a person treats poker as a pleasure and he does not feel sorry for the lost money, in this case, I think alcohol will not interfere. Under the influence of alcohol, people change, and the decisions they make will also be different from those they make when they are sober. I treat poker as a sport, because I think that poker and alcohol are not compatible.

don't do it maybe it's okay if you are with friends and joking but never try to play for money if you are drunk.

 

[R.Holynskyi]

Of course, like most of us, I drink alcohol, but if I do, to be honest, I'm not interested in playing cards. In order to play well, you must first of all be patient, and when you drink, it is very difficult to be patient. At least for me personally, this is an extremely difficult task

 

[hennessy5]

Alcohol is GTO

 

[telespf]

I think that you play poker, you can´t to though about the value of money.
You need to think free and light

Sometimes, you dronk during the game, you can be better

When we are with our friends, this is a good opportunity to play and drink

 

[Luca Santos]

I find this subject very personal. There are people who can, others who can't.

 

[MANEJANO]

I think the weed it's a good idea to have a great ideas playing poker I can read to players best

If we talk about what you are going to drink excessively, it can be difficult to concentrate on making decisions and that can lead you to lose money. Now if you only have one drink to relax, that's fine, but from my own experience, after the first drink several more come.
For my part, I haven't had any type of drink in a while and I really don't need it. But I have a trick that an uncle of mine (my mother's brother) told me, he was a truck driver and traveled long hours at night and early morning and in order not to fall asleep, he made a mixture of coffee loaded with Whiskey or Rum. And the truth is that it is powerful, it wakes you up and awakens your senses in such a way that it activates your senses. It must be good to endure long hours in the early morning playing poker online and live too.
You have to try to see if it works, but according to my uncle it is very effective, he always did it because he had to endure not falling asleep to drive long roads for a long time.

Poker and alcohol are two things that are dangerous to mix. I know from my own experience that this is a 95 percent minus game at a distance. There are exceptions. I even saw people offline who abused alcohol in the late stages of the tournament. On YouTube, type in the drunken Master Tesk, look at...

 

[kringoo]

Well, I don't drink anymore, so I don't see the difference between drinking and gambling, but I believe it can affect it in some way, since we are talking about alcohol, which in general affects all movements, thoughts and decision-making.

 

[yogo9]

this is not a good idea i don't recommend it at all ,for me I avoid drinking while playing poker
Poker is a mentally demanding game, and you need to be on top form to analyze every play and make the most profitable decisions in every situation

 

[LaNimmer]

As long as you know how to drink there isn't any harm in it. In fact it can be a plus because a lot of people mistakenly believe that it will cause you to play poorly, and that gives you a bit of an edge because they will underestimate you.

For me as a retired person, poker and a bit of alcohol is like bread and butter. Even more so when I play live poker (Casino or home game). It can be a very social thing and can lead to interesting things, good and bad!

 

[chicbulls2]

Had some great wins while half drunk, so for me its not too bad

 

[poxerator78]

in my opinion when playing poker you should not drink alcohol, it can lead to addiction and rash decisions, do everything sober
