[Pothole]

[sharkyo01]

Some of the biggest MTT wins i have online i been completely hammered once i won just over $10,000.

When i played in casino's it was easy money playing drunk punter's... the miss's will not let me there no more...

So i'm stuck on online poker... but acholol can affect you poker a hell of lot like it does when you drive it is no difference...

Haha ok so I have an update after playing poker the other day after some strong drinks.

I sucked badly. I lost to someone who didn't even know how to play and went all in with 7 2.

 

[XSCREAMMANX]

i found it to be affecting my game so i don't drink and play at the same time anymore.

 

[LizzyJ]

I have a glass of red wine every now again. One glass is enough, anymore then it's time to step away. I know I'm boring but ya know....

Well now, you learned your lesson not to ever drink while playing poker.
Or maybe, not drink at all while playing any competitive game? haha

True dat. Or else I'll have to start drinking a lot more to forget about my losses.

Interesting, it seems that most people interpreted the question as "if you get mind number drunk" does it affect your play.

Obviously, I am no professional card player. I play to have fun, but I play to win.

I almost always drink when I play, but it's in moderation and I feel it doesn't affect my play.

playing poker while drunk worst idea ever dont do it speakin from experience haha

 

[jovoga]

I drink many drinks during playing online only 1 times.And I say : never again.

I loose many hands, so alcohol no for me.

 

[Tygran]

Getting smashed and playing $2 NL is so much fun though...

 

[GrisGrisAA]

I don't drink while playing online since I'm a social drinker and playing online isn't all that "social." Maybe one or two while playing a friendly live game. If I'm playing higher stakes live, not at all. Gotta stay focused in those situations.

 

[Bengals_Boy]

It makesme open up my play alot when i shouldnt but it pays off sometimes when the cards are coming.Me i like to drink 5 or 6 while im playing but thats me.

 

[clprian]

in my point of view when you play drunk ...you don`t care what your cards or in the pre flop call a big rise ..or on the flop rerise the initial riser so if you play drunk you have more chance to win Regards and GooD Luck At The Tables

i've drank and played b4, only to wake up the next morning and see my bankroll on zero. but i've done it and won too. but most of the time it's dangerous to ur bankroll. i don't drink and play anymore, but i do like to get at a table where players have been drinking b/c i figure that i will come out ahead

 

[RedskinRunner325]

drinking and poker, I can't say that i've done it that often (only once actually) and I really don't know if it made me better or worse (that was a good night...). I do know that it made me extremeley paranoid haha. I would see like 2 6 10 flop with QQ and I "knew" that someone had hit a set (thankfully no one did) and would be frakin out when someone would raise, took me forever to call. However, as paranoid it made me, it made me even more curious, so sometimes I would call when I thought for sure I was screwed, just to see the cards.

 

[hotwings18]

redskinrunner.... why would you being more curious and risking more chips be better???

 

[Leo 50]

I play in a live monthly game and we ALL drink during it.
If I limit myself to a few beers I am alright (I was the first place winner last year).
But when I start hitting the hard stuff I play like a drunken donkey!

 

[Xyphon]

Drinking affects bad my play almost as much as my wife talking to me while i play. Luckilly i may hold back from drinking while i play (and i try) but i can' t mute my wife anyhow.

Haha, Nothing is worse than having had a few drinks and then having your wife being "interested" in the game you are playing and having her tell you to call out of position with K 6 suited, saying what the hell, then winning the pot and her thinking she is the master at poker! Now she won't leave me alone! Lol.

(Not to harp on women too much)

Thank you, Scotty.

 

[blankoblanco]

any time baby

 

[bustme]

I dont play when I am drunk anymore. But before when I played when I was drunk I sometimes woke up the next morning and did not remember much but when I checked my poker account it was almost always more money in it than the day before........

So I almost always won when I was drunk. I guess I played just as I normally do, but hard to say since I do not remember much.

 

[fabiodirlei]

Alcohol Affect my poker a lot. More alcohol, more agressive is my poker and I play with all or nothing.

 

[begley01]

When I drink i get super loose and I always seem to think they are bluffing. I take on the sheriff role way more then normal. Tend to lose lots more then normal.
