alcohol and poker are not compatible.what do you think?

mtmigmike · Feb 6, 2019

Alcohol helps me to relax, but only in small quantities. Everyone must decide for himself to drink or not to drink.

Alcohol is not only not compatible with poker, it is not compatible with life at all. How can the poison be useful ?

It big quantities alcohol is def not good, but for some people in certain situations it does act as a "social lubricant". For example, if you were completely sober, maybe you would not have approached a girl you like in a a bar. Having a drink or two could make you more likely to do it. However, I think mixing alcohol and poker is a stupid idea.

I try not to drink while playing because I don't feel as sharp. So yeah I can relate to his problem drinking while playing.

On the one hand, it looks good. But it can be seen on the other hand, in order to meet a girl you need to drink a couple of glasses, it does not look so good

Alcohol and high-performance sports definitely do not match. Poker is a sport where your power of decision is your best tool. Alcohol changes the senses and decision-making power of plays, making you make the wrong decisions much more often. Poker is already competitive and difficult without drinking alcohol. After its ingestion is a total disaster.

D Then i was drunk lose a lot of money in poker, so dont do this guys

Alcohol does not give a sober assessment of reality, and if at stake is a good jackpot, I would refuse to drink alcohol during the game. And then it is better to celebrate the victory.

drink milk and fresh juices better and you will be happy
but victory at the table can already be noted as follows)

Spot on. From experience I can tell it can be more enjoyable, but rarely more profitable.

I think your level of tolerance comes into play. I usually have a couple of drinks on the weekend when I am playing, and I do just fine. Cheers!

ironduke11 · Feb 7, 2019

limited alcohol consumption is probably best,

AndreyMav78 · Feb 7, 2019

I think that a bit of alcohol not prevent)) for a good mood. for example a glass of wine) and here to strongly drink at the game, I against if before you should aim to win.

alcohol and poker

I think it's fun to have a drink when you play with friends, but on more serious occasions it seems to me that no activity is good with alcohol but if you are putting money in between

Need to choose that the 1 or play or Napoletano.:top:

smknginmaine · Feb 8, 2019

Comparable you mean? I drink more when I'm playing less. I only have three hands after all. Right, left, and 72. And with the 7 in one hand and the 2 in the other. How can I grab my drink? So no... I guess you're right. You shouldn't juggle n jack. Never thunk of it like that before. Dam these green suspenders

Cloxy · Feb 8, 2019

I count poker is a gambling game. So, definitely YES alcohol and poker are incompatible.

MKaizer07 · Feb 8, 2019

Alcohol and poker

Alcohol for poker makes you play fairly loose. So I would only recommend it if you are running hot at the poker tables. Otherwise, you will lose more times then winning in my opinion.

q10tarantino · Feb 8, 2019

LOL@doug poker reference. But I think Doug Poker used to drink quite often when he was playing on Twitch.

I agree with some of the other opinions that a beer or two can help you relax, but getting wasted will definitely hinder your ability to play well.

Freerollpass · Feb 9, 2019

I think you have to be totally aware of your opponents behavior and must not give anything away while playing. That being said i personally do not drink while playing poker and i guess i make the most money against people that do drink.

sergo1203 · Feb 9, 2019

definitely !!! Alcohol affects the quality of the game! a nice game of poker and alcohol is not compatible!

Dmitriy_rus7 · Feb 9, 2019

when I drink at the poker table in 99% of cases in the morning when I go to pokerstars I see that my cash is empty

CHUVASHMAN · Feb 9, 2019

For online poker there is no alcohol and offline you can

bviscaino · Feb 13, 2019

GoSplat678 · Feb 13, 2019

BEER!

alcohol and poker. I generally don't drink. however if I find that im sitting with some real loose aggressive players a few drinks can help me loosen up and play more aggressive and keep myself from overthinking things because of overbetting

CallmeFloppy · Feb 13, 2019

I am no Men the Master. I can not drink all night and expect to go home with anything but a morning hangover.

I limit myself to one drink at the casino. I do this for 2 reasons, 1 is a single drink calms me some without having any adverse effects. 2 - I find that I get called a lot more often when players think I am drinking. Sometimes I will even order a second drink and pretend to drink it all night.

alcohol and poker are not compatible.what do you think?
