Alcohol and poker

I think that a few drinks can make poker playing more fun. It's usually easy to rip off a drunk, but 1-3 beers may even improve your game (at least mine). Drinking and playing poker are both fun, but where are your limits? Do you drink and play at the same time, or do you stay 100% sober when raising bets?

I like to start playing totally sober, but with a glass of whiskey on my desk.
Then I start to drink it really slowly. It relaxes me and I'm becoming more patient during the game. I can wait a bit longer for a good hand to play and not play weak hole cards just becouse I'm getting bored by waiting.

Nope, drinking is bad while playing poker. You may lose much money if you'r drunk.

Well, the alcohol and poker aren't the best combination. But i have to say that couple of beers may better own game a littlebit. But when on the table somebody other is drinking, that's probably then easy money to you :D Sometimes it happens, usually friday-, saturday-nights.

So drink smart, or don't drink at all. I'm waiting on the tables...

I played a lot of times when i drink, but everytime i was losing, and when i'm playing with real money i will not drink anymore. When i play freeroll in which the value is not so big i can drink 1-2 beers or Rum, but if the tournament is with big value or is restricted and there are less people NEVER!!!

when i play low blind poker i think it's ok to drink. but when i play for more money i think it's important not to drink. don't you begin to play to many hands when you drink?

I used to thinik the same thing. I think it may be different for different people. When I drink I get in a mood when things are running good I am in a better mood, but if things start going south I tend to get an attitude and go on tilt and get pissed at myself after I am broke. I tend to handle the swings better sobber. I keep my playing and drinking when I have home games where I don't play for as much.
