Hello everyone, I have some questions about alcohol in poker.

1) Have you drunk alcohol when you play poker either online or live?

2) What do you think of moderate alcohol consumption as a disinhibitor method to play more concentrated?

3) What is your method of concentration when you play poker?

- 1) Both online and Live
- 2) Not sure if alcohol helps in concentration, well at least not for me.
- 3) My concentration method is simply Multi tabling the right amount of tables for the specific time/day/mood. To many tables and it tends to lead to improper play, while not enough tables often can cause other distracting thoughts to occur.

Alcohol is the companion of aggressive play. The more you drink, the greater the range of cards in the game. This is bad. Very, very. Inevitably leads to a loss. But there 's nothing to hide. Sometimes I drink myself :)

No, no alcohol at the poker table, I always end up losing all the money, losing a person's concentration and making rash decisions.

almost always drink beer or wiskey during my game ... it helps me to relax & not to hesitate in difficult-decision situations.
But it's my choice ... )

I drink beer, beer for poker goes well 😁 Alcohol relaxes, players usually play without fear, because there are pluses - this is relaxation and buzz. However, at one point, players lose their concentration and alertness.

Poker

Good morning everyone.
I do not drink when I play poker, I take poker very seriously, I treat poker as if it were a job although I am not yet a professional player, but I will reach that level.
I am studying a lot and seeing reviews of players who nailed Mtts, 6Max and 9Max.

I don't drink alcohol at any time. I don't believe alcohol makes you think straight in a game, whatever it is

I clarify that I am not drinking alcohol when I play regularly, although I must admit that if I like to drink very occasionally when playing and moderately. :)

Greetings.

1-I never drink alcohol at the table. I wait until I am done playing when live to consume.
2-When at home I might sip a beer but alcohol changes inhibitions and makes for poor decisions.
3-I do not start a session if I am not 100% alert and ready to pay attention to what I'm doing. I make a game (live or online) of studying others at the table (which is why I HATE the Cyclones) and looking for weaknesses.

yea i drink and play poker sometimes it has gone well
but sometimes not
it's generally a bad idea if i have too many drinks
i just like drinking though...especially when I'm playing freerolls
can get at least 2 or 3 freerolls going on simultaneously these days
sometimes if i go deep there are 5 or 6 it's ridiculous
just play them and get drunk happy days :)

Alcohol...

Alcohol and poker are incompatible. Even after a big loss.

No I do not drink while playing poker. That would not help me focus.

I used to drink a couple of beers while playing. It turned to my advantage as I was more loose and encouraged me to play with less favored hands. On the other hand it makes more diffiult to stay in focus for a long period.
