Poker and drinks.

ninocabral · Nov 5, 2025

I usually smoke while I play, not all the time, but I tend to smoke when I'm a little tense

I listen to music and drink cider while I am playing poker, to me it is a time to relax
and as I only play micro stakes I can drink while playing and will never lose enough
to worry about.

Consuming alcohol while playing poker is definitely harmful. Even in recreational and social games, drinking alcohol is not acceptable if real money is at stake, as those seeking performance and financial results should take poker seriously.

Put some music on, drink a coffee, couple of glasses of vine and a pack of luckies and play some poker, what a world we live in

Eating sth and listening to music . Also reading some threads or articles or watching movies or videos or twitch at the same time , cause playing poker for hours can be very boring sometimes , especially with tournamts .

I usually watch the pro's on my second monitor and try to mimic their river bluffs in my microstakes tournament

I used to drink while playing but I stopped and now it just helps me keep my thoughts sharp and I can concentrate longer in those long tournaments. I don’t feel as tired anymore.

Sometimes music to help boredom.

At the end of the day, I like to play games while drinking a beer.

if online its a video game in the background.

always just water, is thinking the best

DiazPoker3101 · Nov 19, 2025

I think listening to music is fine — I like doing it while I play.

Snake2007 · Nov 19, 2025

I think is best to concentrate on the game.

4 - Listening to music
6- Drinking coffee

alcohol at the table = straight EV leak.
microstakes? sure, fun ok.
anything serious? water only. focus beats “fun” every time.

reads go to trash, timing goes to trash, tilt comes faster.
coffee or energy drinks > beer or cocktails.

Poker cc good weekend

My personal preference is listening to music. Really loud. But music needs to be something rather simple.

Drinking I like to limit to minimum in order to keep focus. And my extra thing is playing with chips. It is fun to work on chip tricks during online games.

tuitui · Nov 21, 2025

Just crossed my mind that here is research that suggest that a slight amount of alcohol improves concentration ability. I don't doubt it. A drink or two doesn't hurt the game and it calms nerves just enough. But no more than that!

Several years ago, I used to drink alcohol and play poker many times. Please don’t do this. When you’re intoxicated, you tend to overplay, bluff unnecessarily, take reckless all-in risks, and keep rebuying. It’s better to avoid drinking while playing poker. I prefer listening to music and drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated during my sessions.

Today is 100% poker and 0% drinks

4, listening to music relaxes me and I feel really paying attention, if I don't do anything I act on pure impulse and without really a sense

Shadow6969 · Nov 30, 2025

For me it's watching youtubers playing poker 😅🫣

gloria_marga · Nov 30, 2025

I prefer to listen to music for the following reasons:
• Alcohol may affect my game.
• I don't smoke.
• If I started eating while playing, it would become a habit that would cause me anxiety during every tournament I played.

While playing poker, I listen to music and sometimes drink tea. I only smoke during breaks.

Poker and drinks.
