blonde poker forum

How many of you partake in a little drink while playing poker. I dont know if its the lack of judgement alcohol brings to me but i think i play better with a couple of beers to keep my company? How about the rest of you?

mad

I wouldn't "do a Flack" but I've never seen the harm in one or two.

if i am away from home for a couple of days i'll have a drink on the first day but normally stop as tourny starts
i never drink on the 2nd day as i will have to drive the following day

if i am playing a 1 day afair i never drink as i am driving

the strongest tipple i choose to partake in is when i mix my bananas with red bull - a lethal combination but somewhat effective in staying awake and providing the stamina for the upcoming WCOOP events.

i'm tee-total but do enjoy playing tourneys very early in the morning online when you can instantly spot the "regulars" at the table who have just arrived home from a night out and you note taking from the previous 6 months goes right out the window :)

p.s. welcome aboard

i drink continuously throughout a tourny live (if i get a lift) and it does me no harm ;D
never ever drink in the house so online i'm sober, actually maybe that's why i'm better live?

i never drink while playing. It has cost me a fair bit of cash when i do.

Logged on new years day about 5am p*ssed as a fart and rinsed about a grand in an hour.

a few buds, but no more than 3 or 4!  ;D

I sometimes drink when playing tournaments and it never does any harm.

Online a big no no.

Worst ever - Rolled in hammered and lost £5000. Woke up in the morning and didn't even remember playing until i looked at my account! Then i remembered.....

now you know why you win at Betfair all the other times Ben!!! you are the only one sober after they've all done their cobblers in the sports book!!

I think drinking while playing is ok but don't go too far

If you find that people are stepping on your fingers, its time to stop

for me it's not one drop except for REALLY friendly home games. I might treat myself to a pint following a really bad beat but even thats rare

I'm bad enough sober!  Would never trust myself with cash and booze.

no drinking when playin or gambleing in general clouds the judgement and all ways end off loseing money.

In a recent heads up with some hendon fish I chose the drink of champions Snakebite and black (diesel) taken through a straw. Note his obvious concern (and my complete apathy) after i put him all in with my 73os. A true snakebite attitude lol.

Best poker games i play in are the ones after a night out the kofty down at uni, usually get 5/6 people back round ours, whip the chips out and £1 rebuys, great crack they are...

On a serious note, dont drink before any activity if u wanna play your A game!! Hence the 'shotgun' no 11 for my cricket match on satdy after my 21st bash :D

nope i def meant shpelling lol

I drank during my 1st week at wsop during small and short comps and sit n goes, worked great as I collected $70,000 and my seat to the main event in 6 days,

I dont drink during longer, multi day events!

Once lost $10,000 in 10 hours at party poker, drunk as a skunk, I try not to drink when im online. :o

Live I seem to be ok because there is so much else going on around you, people to talk to and stuff like that ;D

People TALK to you WSOP? I thought they just shouted at you.

And check your e-mails man. (Not PM's, e-mails).

I enjoy a bevvie during a game! Unfortunately by the time it gets to the cash games . I'm a fish in more ways than one!! Drink like one and play like one....lol

i dont drink when i play live becuase i have to drive but i sometimes have a drink when playing online during mtt but only on a saturday night. i dont drink if i have to go to work the next day
