you can not beat a drunken player , one of my friends is a very good player, is hard to win again him but when he is drunken you have no chance you have absolut not only one fkn tell on a drunken player with poker skill. I´ve see a video with Scotty Nyguen,I think is was WSOP he was so drunken on the final table by the heads up game and win the tournament

Yeah dont play while drinking if you want to make money but if you have a few cash to blow then by all means drink play poker have fun and roll on to the next day and the next deposit and have fun. The important word is have fun!! But if you play seriously and making an income on it then drinking is a no go because this can affect your judgment. And you never know what the drink will play on your mind and you could end up losing your entire saving on a drunken night!

G'day mate
Well I play poker while drinking water everyday amigo I would like to think you are just referring to alcoholic beverages. If that is the case then yea I agree with you, but if you mean no drinking of any kind then I must disagree, we must have our coffee and water drinks mate wishing you all the best be cool

it's not as easy as it sounds, the main problem i see here is whether actually one shouldn't play poker while drunk or drink while playing poker, there is a huge difference of no percents at all when you compare both of them, therefore careful considerations must be taken into account before making the final decision.

I never play poker when i have been drinking but i used to and it caused many problems for me and my family. I have lost a lot of money when drunk and now only play for fun, please be careful when playing drunk
I occasianly drink with poker,.. But not drunk....i can easily drink 6 normal beers... And still play my a game and get up with $... I watch out when i drink beer, and i dont forget to drink a coffe when needed... Iff you know u gonna bust youre bankroll when you have a few beers its better to stop drinking,..

This is really good advice, but a little bit like drinking and driving, some people think they are better at driving and poker after a few drinks. It's all down to reduced inhibitions and the inability to make sound and informed decisions and relying more on instinct and gut feeling.

A bucket This kinda falls under the addiction category and i am talking about playing poker. Anyone that hasnt played the game at all will conclude into this in a couple of seconds.
7-10 talls per day. What about water? Do you drink any. Just out of curiosity how many times you go to the toilet with so many beers?
it´s fine
