At a physical casino I like to get a mixed drink just as I leave the table. Its free and cannot hurt my play.

Beer is a Must

gustav197poker said:
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?

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.

I know it’s not what most will say, but poker and beer go together. Online or in person. :dancing2:

There is an alcohol sweet spot around .08 inebriation. Like Jim Lahey from trailer park boys, it's the spot where all decisions are correct and winning is easy peasy. I didn't want to give away this secret but now that you know good luck all.

Alcohol and poker, like day and night, inevitably follow each other. I drank well - I was eliminated from the tournament. He relieved stress with alcohol - flew out from the second. And so on until you sober up. Look at the bankroll and you won't sit down at the table sober.:help:

Poker, Alcohol? Poker, I don't remember what happened. Where did all my chips go? What day of the week is it? They don't mix too well, careful.

Drinking and poker

Imho it depends on what type of alcohol you drink. If you drink 40%+ drinks like votka etc.. it makes you disbalanced towards playing more aggressive than usual. But if you drink mild drinks like wine etc it might make you disbalanced to play more passively due to fact that your brain might not want to think while enjoying being fuddle ...

Alcohol in pokers

When you play poker, it is not advisable to drink during the game, because you are not so attentive in the game, you are not afraid of anything and finally you can lose your entire bankroll.:D:D:D

I will have a drink or 2 whilst playing on the weekend.
This is what I do but never really get "drunk" because I only play MTT and I don't want to be drunk playing cards.

I don’t think alcohol would have a positive effect on the game.
I think it can slow you down and make you too reckless while playing, which can cause you to run out of chips.
But of course, everyone’s heart has the right to play as it pleases, just don’t bother other people with that.
Have a nice day. :)

I drink in between, not much tho. Depends on the game. A tournament with good prize money, then I stay away from alcohol 👍

I have been a little bit drunk but I try to control myself, its really waste of playing and money if you are playing really drunk, focus levels are really low and you don't care about losing when you are really wasted. Between friends or playing for fun live alcohol may be bonus and make game more relaxed, interesting with more communication.

When I play Poker I never touch alcohol. Coffee or Coke is the only thing to touch my lips but after the game is over I will celebrate or drown my sorrows with a pint or two.

I actually noticed that when I drink during online play, I start making dumb decisions, and start gambling rather than playing smart.

I generally do not drink.
I used to drink aaaaaalot.

Poker and alcohol do not mix for me.
I will gladly buy the others at the table drinks though.
