Do you drink alcohol when you play poker?

DaviFN · Jul 23, 2020

My opponents, hopefully...

Not during online games. Still need to concentrate on the game / players.

When playing live with a group of people I know for low stakes, sure - whiskey on the rocks

Hi, I don't drink. I only use plain water, cola, fanta, pepsi, etc.

You can have a low alcohol drink. I try not to drink drinks stronger than wine when playing poker.

It doesn't always work out.

Hello.
Drinking alcohol while playing is a bad idea. Maybe if poker is just bingo for you, then alcohol will contribute to your euphoria. But personally, I prefer a patient, and focused game.

Drinking is always fun while playing. But you must moderate yourself so it's doesn't negatively affect your game

When i play with friends and i don't care about the result - yes i drink as much as i like and what i like at this moment. If i play seriously i avoid it completely or limit it to just one light beer.

I drink beer or water, it all depends on the day and time.

Bigfish420 · Jul 30, 2020

I don’t mind a beer or too when I’m playing poker but I do find if I have too much my play dose start to get affected although I have had some decent wins when drink lol I find I’m more likely to take risks when I’m drunk and sometimes that can be a good thing because I tend to bust out because I’m playing too tight but also if I’m really drunk I’m more likely to make a bad play so don’t really know if it’s a good or a bad thing but I think it actually helps me to have a few beers or something when I’m playing poker because I’m not so uptight and I’m more relaxed so that helps

Drink while playing poker

Drinking while playing poker could affect your concentration depending on your tolerance.

Overmars · Jul 30, 2020

I wouldnt drink if I was playing live as I'd want to have a clear head and study other players.

During the pandemic, me and my friends could have a game and we'd chill out with a few beers. It was a bit of fun and a nice catch up, but when playing proper online, no.

hanski4 · Jul 30, 2020

Usualy no but at home games I will take a drink or two if i am feeling it and the stakes are not too high

Very funny the question for the answer that comes to my mind, is that if I drink alcohol I get too brave after a few drinks and then I want to pay all the bets. It would ruin me to play like this.

bigthereal · Jul 30, 2020

yeah, when playing with my friends it happens regularly

Drinking alcohol has nothing to do with my poker game, I rarely drink alcohol, but still sometimes it happens at the poker table

makisaa · Jul 30, 2020

I don`t drink generally, but why to drink while playing poker? I prefer to have clear mind to take succesfull decisions.

RagNar87 · Jul 30, 2020

Water

madbeeet · Jul 30, 2020

I am also for a clear mind. to show the result, you need to be smart.

SillentHunterZ · Jul 30, 2020

Water, energy drink, Ice tea. Mostly water.

chinito2410 · Jul 30, 2020

Yes of course, i prefer drink whiskey and a chocolate

WhiskeyFix · Jul 30, 2020

pendulabgd · Jul 30, 2020

So if answer is no? Then I shouldn't answer?
No, no and no. Drinking and poker is well documented for hundreds of years are not going together!!!
I listen that advice, older guys sometimes have something smart to say.

J0k3rWright · Jul 30, 2020

I don't drink when playing poker, I like to remain clear headed . But I have seen some players who play better after a couple of drinks. Maybe it's because they follow their gut instinct more or maybe they just aren't overthinking hands like they would if they hadn't had a drink.

rent52 · Jul 30, 2020

I always have a glass of wine and a glass of water on my desk, but playing drunk is not a great idea at all.

anadrijav · Jul 31, 2020

You shouldn't drink while playing poker, believe it or not. You do not think the same and being happy you risk more.
Drinking does not link with the game.
