Do You Drink While You Play?

natasha555 · Apr 10, 2018

Drunken people become aggressive and uninhibited, all such not only you alone, you got your bitter experience and you will not play drunk anymore.

Indeed, Drinking affect the game and reading ability, but I noticed that two or three beers can really help me stay relaxed while playing. anyway from that day, i didn't drink and play expect for some low stakes when i want to have some fun

I'm just drinking beer now.
I was drunk.

Now, in practice, I will try to prove your theory.

williamsc99 · Apr 10, 2018

in some hypothesis some use alcohol when playing. You need 100 percent of your ability to concentrate to make the best decisions. Alcohol takes away this ability

I am not a drinker, I do not drink often. I would not drink while playing poker, because I like to have clear mind and take the best decisions. I think that possible wins while drinking might be more from luck!

It is really a bad idea to drink while playing. On the other hand, if you are playing a low buy-in sng with your buddies then it is a ton of fun. Just make sure you don't get sucked into a cash game after the sng is over.

In darts, alcohol is considered a performance-enhancing drug allowing the players to relax. This might apply to poker aswell, but i dont because of my own health.

As someone who has played poker for nearly 50 years I have discovered a simple equation that I found is true every time I play poker :

Poker + alcohol = lose

It's as simple as that, but of course I can only talk from personal experience but it works for me every time I test it

to win every hand after I drink alcohol )) I like you a lot because of this lost $ and was even sober to play worse than they played before. so I made my choice to play only sober and drink tea or coffee with a cigarette.

I only drink if i'm just playing for fun, like in a home game. And I'm likely to lose.

I do know two fellas at my local casino who are raging alcoholics,
both of whom play better the more they drink. Not sure that would work out the same for me.

ssory83 · Apr 11, 2018

From all my poker experience so far ... I have come to the conclusion that alcohol does not help. It's silly to play poker while you're drunk. The conclusion is that you can not think clearly.

georgall · Apr 11, 2018

No alcogol, no drugs in poker.

timberwolf94 · Apr 11, 2018

No I don't drink when playing. I try to treat it like a job. It doesn't seem to be working for me so maybe I should try it once. Lol

You have the answer - they are alcoholics. At this stage of drinking you need alcohol to make your body and brain work at least partially normally. You can easily test this following way:

1. Drink heavily during the evening and the night
2. When you get in the morning with terrible headache drink one or 2 beers. You will feel better but in a few hours when the beers effect is gone you will be even worse than in the morning.

Let me know how it goes! and good luck

playing while drinking dulls the senses and can lead to bad decisions, you probably got lucky. Since you remember how you felt, you can play like that without drinks and mix up your game to throw others off.

Ero2407 · Apr 11, 2018

I think you won not because you were drank, but because you made a deposit, in this case so laid in the program , it srart to help you. You will get the impression that you are lucky

Nano5722 · Apr 11, 2018

Not the best idea to drink anything and play poker for a cash at the same time. If you was lucky one time, that doesn,t means, that it will happenes everytime. If you want to drink and play poker, try freerolls, at least you don,t loose anything.

clasrasmusso · Apr 11, 2018

I never drink when I play, you lose all your mind and you chances more that loses lots of money.

Grearix · Apr 11, 2018

If it doesn't influence your game, why not grab a beer 🍻

ecoland · Apr 11, 2018

sometimes drinking helps. in ring games, beer launches fantasy.

Nathan Williams · Apr 12, 2018

I discovered very early on in my poker career that drinking and playing was a very bad idea at least for me. So no, never.

Mepper95 · Apr 12, 2018

I don't drink alcohol when playing poker. Coffee and tea are my go-to beverages

MIljanho · Apr 12, 2018

Never, I need a concentration and alcohol will not help me keep it.

step055 · Apr 12, 2018

I think that alcohol leads to the fact that you loose the game if your drink too much. On the other hand it helps to deminish stress -but you should not drink too much ( in general meaning)
