Poker and alcohol

Small amounts will be ok. When you drink enough to make you tired then that’s not going to help your concentration.

Igor Popadyk · Dec 15, 2023

Now I’ve completely given up alcohol (for now 4 months), I haven’t played better, I just feel better physically, but psychologically it’s not very good. If you can control yourself in drinking alcohol, sometimes for the sake of pleasure you can allow yourself to combine alcohol and poker, because poker not a sport

I generally don't drink alcohol while playing. Because the time I play is during the day.

Lucho.riv9 · Dec 15, 2023

I think is not bad to drink a bit if you keep your concentration on the game, of course never drink to get drunk this s for any aspect in your life

I dont really drink alcohol during poker. Think its kind of sad if Im all alone in front of a computer drinking by myself. If I were at my mates place for example tho, and we all chillin, then I might pop some glasses of wine. Otherwise nah no alcohol.

I don't drink, so it's hard to say anything about it, but when I'm playing live, I watch those who are drinking, they talk too much, they lose track of time, I've even seen one sleep or pass out

I don’t drink alcohol while playing, which also makes it difficult to concentrate on it.

Poker and alcohol are bad combinations, you shouldn't drink to have a good level of tournament play, so I recommend not drinking alcohol while playing poker.

I don't drink. I used to drink, and I think I drank too often and too much. I don't drink now. Alcohol gives you the opportunity to relax, but you shouldn't relax while playing poker, because you can pay dearly for it

Hello, Everybody! Well, what do I say about this question?!. If to say simply and shortly: personally for Me Poker and alcohol are incompatible! That's all!

I don’t mix alcohol with poker; I think there should be different locations for everything.

Alcohol can only help in poker in small amounts. I, for example, always drank no more than 0.5 liters of light lager when I played in tournaments or cash games (in poker clubs before the war, not online). That's exactly how much I needed to play well.

I do not see it as very reasonable to consume alcohol in a poker game, whether live or online, since I think it will in some way affect the decisions to be made in certain hands and many times, perhaps very serious errors will be made.

blata8ruga · Dec 16, 2023

I will drink a couple of beer every onve in awhile when playing but any more than that and I don't play my best game. I play to loose and aggressive and it doesn't work for me.

Spielkind · Dec 16, 2023

first poker--then a lil alc--not ever--only sometimes but never together!!!

km1n · Dec 16, 2023

Never a good combo to convine alcohol with poker or almost anything that needs ur skills to do with

pjokay · Dec 16, 2023

I only drink if it's a leisurely low stakes game like $11 but do not drink when playing that often.

Skot_Gy · Dec 16, 2023

As i was a heavy drinker until a couple of years ago, i can say that Alcohol HEAVILY and NEGATIVELY affects everything in life (poker included)
So it was the best decision in my life to quit drinking for good.

Miyagi not miyaji · Dec 17, 2023

Having a beer is ok, but don't be drunk playing poker cause ur going to act like a douche like Scottie Nguyen at the wsop players Championship Final Table

fryderyk · Dec 18, 2023

Alcohol is fine in small amounts, but after that you're just asking to make a stupid mistake. I tested it and I don't recommend it.

hardongear · Dec 18, 2023

I usually have either coffee, water or some scotch. Never enough scotch to affect my play though. Just for sipping really but over the course of a 6-8 hour MTT I have 3-4 drinks spaced out. Not a big drinker but like to have some scotch now and again. Hennessey is also a favorite of mine.

Cheers!!!

Peteski84 · Dec 18, 2023

Im not drinking to get drunk. I enjoy a sip of whisky as i progress further through the bubble. Celebrate and comfortly enjoy the evening.

sibkaz · Dec 18, 2023

I used to play to take a break from alcohol, now I occasionally drink to take a break from poker )))))

rdwr33 · Dec 18, 2023

it doesn't suit me. but my opponents can drink a lot.

Veralt · Dec 18, 2023

I do not recommend mixing gambling and alcohol, especially if you're not playing in a casino. People tend to not be able to handle defeat with alcohol in their blood, it only causes problems.
