Your first like is thanks to me! Congrats on your first like! Alcohol seems to help my game. If alcohol makes your cards blurry, it's useless. If you're able to unwind and feel relaxed, then yes, have a few drinks. In a live game, it's good karma to buy drinks if you're winning.

When you drink alcohol is messing your brain and your decisions are questionable. Even now I having a beer right now and taking into consideration to play $0.55 Hot at PS but every time I do that I play very loose because of the...you know
And the conclusion is that this is a bad idea :).

Mentally and emotionally makes a difference on how well you perform. I'd rather not waste my time if both are not in check. Rather being doing numerous other activities while drinking than setting a computer playing poker. What a waste of a buzz!


Totally agree with you. I can't understand why people drink while playing poker or fishing, for example. These activities should provide enough entertainment already, and drinking just alters the quality of such experiences in a diminishing way, by numbing one's senses.

On the other hand, drinking a few beers surrounded by friends, engaging in amicable conversation - that's in my opinion an example of putting the buzz to a good use :)

what you think if you drunk (a little) can you win or not stability, today i play many times i win in tournament( from freerolls) $2,5 and after drink little of vodka in spin tourn i win two times $2, after i take $13 from cash, and after i cannot win in more big cash tourn... 25 hands i nave only 3-4 5-8 etc. lose all now. when you play what you drink and how you now that you need stop?:confused: maybe its only in online games. when i play in real poker face to face its not the same
if I drink too much playing poker, I do not pay much attention to the game as well as always doze off, so I prefer to play sober.

I do not think you can continue to win drunk. Why not try it? Get drunk more times and play. I hope you are at my table! :beer:

alcohol in many situations in life can ruin you and your endeavors. I went through it.
everything else that affects your brain is disastrous
one Finnish drunk player lost several million dollars in a session. Is this a reason for laughs and jokes?

From experience. When I'm drunk, it's better not to play poker. Everything ends badly. :)

A small amount of alcohol, such as glass of wine, can relieve mental stress. But also ethanol reduces critical thinking and prevent adequately assess the situation in the game. The choice is ours.

You need to play sober, and always set a goal for yourself. For example won 50 dollars - finished for today. The next stage can be 100 150 200. Then you'll know exactly when to finish

I guess, it depends, what you mean by "drunk"? If you are to intoxicated to drive a car, then playing poker can hardly be a good idea either. And neither can it be a good idea to play poker, if you are so tired, that your alternative is to go to sleep :)

I guess, it also depend, how serious you are. I would probably not drink any alcohol while playing the Sunday Million, if I won a ticket for it. But if I want to relax with a glass of wine and some micro stakes poker after work, I dont see that as a huge deal. Just be aware, that it probably does hurt your winrate, even if its only slightly.

I never play when I'm drunk. Either play or drink, together is incompatible

SLEEP ! Alcohol and poker bank rolls do not mix lol. I have plenty of friends that have ruined a lot of hard work, with a few hours of drunken degeneracy ! It's best to stay away from the tables while drinking the suds imo !
