How Does Alcohol Effect Your Game? Better or Worse?

[bnasp2]

Of course for worse.
If you play poker for profit = no alcohol ever.

If you play with friends for fun = use anything you like.

 

[Carlloss]

Affects for much worse. It makes me tired, sleepy, impatient and makes me make bad decisions, and not just poker. Alcohol and reasoning don't mix.

 

[Negan92222]

I personally concentrate better without alcohol but I have done well once when I was drunk

 

[Rost]

If I drink alcohol, I don't play poker. I am sure that alcohol will have a negative effect on my game. And in general I drink alcohol very rarely and very little.

 

[scottish770]

it depends on the stakes, but I'll have beers if the game is quarters. but any big tourney not really.

 

[TirariAchref]

If some beer just to enjoy the moment while you playing not bad. but if you drinking a lot that will make your game worse and lose a lot of money.

 

[Nik990]

I don’t drink in general and I think that alcohol cannot have a positive effect on the game. It won't hurt if a glass to hide emotions and be more confident when playing live

I would like to ask people for the sake of interest how alcohol affects you and making your decisions when you play poker

Hello! :ciao:
I don't like light drinks. If I drink, then these are strong drinks and, to a greater extent, the purpose of consumption is to relax, let go of everything around. This is not the best state to play, because even when you are enjoying the game, you constantly need to be focused. So I don't combine it. If I decide to drink, I won't play. :icon_thum
Although I didn't check how the game would go if I was drunk.:drunken_s:drunken_s:drunken_s

 

[zipocool]

2-3 glasses of wine before the session will not harm anything) the main thing is not to drink a lot of strong alcohol, then it will definitely end badly for the bankroll

 

[pipayura]

Alcohol helps me to relax and not think about the bad bits. And then not think about anything at all. It's hard to win when you're drunk. Alcohol and cards are not compatible. Alcohol can only be combined with sex and pleasure. But not as with the consciousness, attention and concentration that the game of poker requires, like other logical calculating games.

 

[Clutchdenier]

If your game gets better when you're drunk - all I can say is you must be a magician!

 

[pipayura]

I'm trying to sound smart though. In fact, I myself often play drunk, then I also start to write comments to everyone during the game)))

 

[valanddon]

Alcohol makes me play to loose and lose money every time.

I would like to ask people how alcohol affects you and your decision-making when you play poker

When drinking alcohol during the game, false confidence in one's actions, aggressiveness, opening many garbage hands appears... I think these are incomparable things poker and alcohol! Your bankroll will go to 0 very quickly.

If it is your lucky day, you will not feel the effect of alcohol on you, but the most important thing is that if you are not on your lucky day, you should be very careful not to lose all your money.

 

[Minakshi]

I only play in freerolls or micros when drunk. SO it's more fun

 

[Sintubai]

Make me loose Agressive on tables.. [emoji28][emoji482][emoji41]

 

[effece]

the consumption of alcohol during the game is not advisable. Just as you don't drive a car when you've been drinking because it reduces your ability to react, it also affects your decision-making. it is best to toast when the game is over

alcohol

Hello, it doesn't affect me because when I play I don't drink alcohol, I drink an infusion that in argentina is called mate or coffee. I think it's better not to drink alcohol when I play

 

[ALLRUS79]

Alcohol interferes with the body's metabolism... So, after alcohol, blood sugar levels will fall, and our sports performance won't be as good as usual. Alcohol compromises our motor skills, balance, hand-eye coordination, and reaction time, which negatively affect your performance and increases the risk of injury.

Therefore, in poker you need to always control yourself so as not to make mistakes, and alcohol will interfere with you all the time!!!

Is it a good or bad mix?

I have met all kinds over the years while playing poker, alcohol seems to be a popular drink in my local casinos (Scotland) while at the table.

Is a few drinks fine? To maybe calm the nerves? Is there a limit you go to, before you say that's enough? Is it more for social reasons or can alcohol, actually, bring you out of your shell and make you play a more aggressive game?

What are the pro's and con's?

 

[Lena M]

Hello.
I don't think poker and alcohol are compatible. Drinking alcohol during the game you lose concentration and patience, so most likely you will make mistakes and as a result you will receive financial losses and disappointments.

 

[alien666dj]

For the sake of entertainment, alcohol can help to play poker in a relaxed way, but as an assistant, alcohol will always hurt.

 

[Akuana]

I like it. Thanks to alcohol, I have a chance to get good places in the tournament, since I myself do not drink alcohol at all

 

[GoodMoon90]

I think it's a very bad idea to combine poker and alcohol, and in the long run it will only bring losses.
