I have never in my life played poker drunk, I think it is a bad idea to do it, that's why it is a great lesson that you have learned, you lost a lot of money in a couple of hours because of your state, very good that you have recognized your mistake and that you never make it again, because it is very true, nobody wins at poker drunk, on the contrary you lose a lot.

players who play drunk will never be successful players spoil the game for good players because they are shy and sometimes they are lucky once I played with a drunk player, he got AA through the distribution and got into the hand in his hands 65 he won collected a straight this happens often I know but he was drunk and sometimes wrote cards before the move

No, it never happened to me, because I don´t drink alcohol when I play. Sounds boring but it helps.

playing drunk can make you play more aggressive, and maybe win more hands.

Hi.
Playing drunk usually just means losing money. I'm not against alcohol, within reason, but playing poker while drunk is irresponsible, primarily to yourself and your bankroll.

Hi.
I have not drunk alcohol for many years. Alcohol only creates problems. I am categorically against alcohol.
Good luck.

Exactly, playing drunk is a very bad decision, you lose almost all your faculties and abilities so imagine the result.

Ever since professional poker player Ilari Sahamies lost over $100K in one session due to drunken gambling, it hasn't become clear that combining alcohol with poker is a terrible decision.

Being drunk gives u a false feeling that u r unstoppable. I played more aggressive and never folded. So to loose it takes very short period of time.

I don't usually drink when I play, I think that the atmosphere is different every time, if you drink, don't play, it would be a piece of advice

I never won under alcohol, it always ended badly, even one bottle of beer dulled my decisions and I started making bad cauldrons. If I'm play poker, I'm serious, and I can have a drink later.

I also always lost money if I played drunk. Alcohol is a good way to relax and relieve stress, but alcohol and poker are not compatible.

Sure, it's hard to control yourself if you're drunk

Intoxication can be of varying degrees. As I understand it, everyone is referring to severe degrees of intoxication. Because if you drink a glass of beer or wine, then the situation described should not happen.

Bye! Please stop drinking alcohol while playing poker!:) Clearly this does not help, let us help each other improve our playing skills rather than hinder it. Alcohol leads to bad decisions. I think we can be profitable in the long run if we stay swell! But by the way, it is also important to try to play poker in calm conditions and sleep at least 7 hours. Good luck!

HAhahaha, now I understand the variance in your playing style :p
A little drunk may help, I almost always drink a coffee with some alcohol before the CC Tournaments to keep patient, but playing drunk has never resulted in winnings
