Poker Tactics

Does drinking help ur poker game and why?

During the game, alcohol only hinders me. Self-control is lost and attention is scattered. During the game, it is better to use something neutral. Or don't drink anything at all.

when I play with my friends for recreation, well if I drink with them to have a lot of fun, relax and be more looss IoI

It helps me with aggression but it doesn't help me play tight.

drinking water helps me stay awake...

When I drink I fall asleep, so my game is over at that moment. I feel better when I listen to music.

When playing for money, you should not drink alcohol in any case.As practice shows, when drunk, you can make a lot of unnecessary mistakes and lose your bankroll.

For a small friendly game, its fine, but alcohol can impair your judgement. Poker is not a game to play with poor judgement.

But that said, when playing live, I always have a drink or two. Partly to loosen up because of stress, and partly to get vodka and redbull into me to give me the "I just hit a monster" shakes.

A "smoke" can be nice if it is legal in your jurisdiction. Relaxing without losing focus.

But if I was in a WCOOP event or something, no, stay away from booze. It will not improve your game...unless the problem in your game was excessive good judgement.
