Hahaha

I never drink alcohol while playing poker, but if they say that with that I play more aggressive maybe I should drink some? haha. Seriously speaking I recommend moderation, an excess can be a bad idea.

not at all because it deconcentrates my play when thinking about the strategies that I will use for each player, it is also a distraction because the impulses and feelings will be more involved

I'm lucky that I never liked alcohol, lucky because of how harmful it is in general and especially for the liver!

take care

I try to never drink alcohol when I play or are going to play poker, because when a person is under alcohol he is served with a lot of emotions, and in poker this is the worst thing that can be if we give in to some kind of aside from emotions, we must play with a sober head and always according to the chances bank without giving in to side emotions!

Hello everyone, I have some questions about alcohol in poker.

1) Have you drunk alcohol when you play poker either online or live?

2) What do you think of moderate alcohol consumption as a disinhibitor method to play more concentrated?

3) What is your method of concentration when you play poker?

I clarify that I am not drinking alcohol when I play regularly, although I must admit that if I like to drink very occasionally when playing and moderately. :)

Greetings.




Used to when I was younger but not anymore. Especially online poker, it always ends badly even if you go on a hot streak. Live I might make an exception and have a few beers at the table to loosen up my play and relax a little.

I don't think this is a good idea. You need to be clear-headed. However, if this is a meeting with friends, then beer or whiskey is very useful

No, I don't drink alcohol during poker. I have to concentrate and it seems like a bad idea. I could lose my concentration.

Hi all!

Besides how dangerous it is, I am lucky that I don't like the taste of alcohol, except for some sweet cider and some festivities. So I don't drink during or outside of poker games. Is it useful to take substance that makes us lose consciousness? We all know the answer, it is more beautiful to be faithful to our intuition and stop destroying ourselves.

Ass for all
Heart :ah4: Nature :ac4:

Depends on the game right. 100 dollar buy in with friends, we drinking and playing poker. Freeroll tourney, as long as its after noon, definitely drinking. But if I'm in for the long haul want to win, no got to stay sober to focus.

Alcohol is one of the worst drugs people get. Therefore, I recommend that if you use it, then in moderation and when you have to rest, and not perform any tasks or work.

In moderation. It’s a good idea to keep to just a couple

Одна из лучших комбинаций для меня, выпить пива, и поиграть в покер.
