Playing Drunk
 

Who here plays poker drunk, have u ever had big wins while drunk.

I seem to think its a good idea going all in with crap drunk, lose a fortune lol.

I play poker a lot. I get drunk occasionally. The two coincide from time to time, but I really haven't had a big loser when hammered. I've had some big wins though.

I vote for the bolded part to be considered for understated post of the month! :D

lol

Being drunk doesn't seem to effect your grasp of the English language, so I think you'll find no ill effects playing poker drunk.

I stand my vote as RD for favorite sarcastic bastard.

ditto

I feel that 1 or 2 loosens me up and I actually play better. Get in the zone. Mind u 1 or 2. But I do love the drunk call stations.

ummm
 

I dont drink so guess I dont know if I play better drunk.

Anyone else smell a little bit of BS here? :p

nope
 

very very serious. I have a drink maybe when I go out to dinner with my wife. I have been drunk maybe 3 times my whole life, one new years with wife, once when we went out drinkng with wife and her 2 friends and im guessing once when I was younger or the time I was in Dallas for training.


really I just dont like the taste of alchol, I never have it at home, actully besides when my father in law had it when he came up for Gavins funeral dont think it has ever been in this house in 5 years I have lived here. I have no reason to lie of course its up to you if you want to believe me or not. I just dont find it enjoyable to be drunk.


I totally cant drink beer at all if I do drink it has to be mixed drinks and I hate vomiting so I dont drink enough to get drunk.

I am UI now, and poker is the last thing I want to do, and should do. That is my opinion. PS, a lot of gramatical errors were avoided and edited in the production of this speech.

played poker when drunk - 3 times

Money lost doing so - $300 and $150

Money won doing so - $590

So im $140 up being drunk. That was the time i threw up on my cat. Good times

In response to the original post...During college, Coming home drunk after a long bar night, online poker was my worst nightmare -- I played too aggressive and generally lost buy ins! I finally was able to get myself to not play any cash games and only play $10 dollar tournies if I felt like playing when I got home so I could only lose 10 bucks that night -- more often though, I'd be at an after party and then immediately pass out upon returning home (or find a nice lucky girl to occupy my night :D )

I'm trying to remember the last time I got drunk and played poker, and I can't.

We may just have to have a little experiment. What say we set up a forum game for LATE some weekend night, with the standard $11 buy in and the requirement that all participants have consumed at least 4 beers in the previous 2 hours? That's the bare minimum (enough that the average person would feel some effect) - feel free to drink much, much more.

I think that would be hilarious. In fact, we NEED to make this happen. I can picture this turning into another league entirely! LOL.

Pics of the emptys could be required to be posts in a thread in order for you to get PM'd the password. Obviously someone could fake it, but that would be uber-lame.

I'm probably going to be drinking fairly heavily on Friday night... not sure how "busy" I'll be afterwards, but time permitting, I could play then.

4 beers in two hours??? I don't think DREW Shabi would be effected by that! Double that bitch

Come on now.... I'm saying BARE MINIMUM! Think about the lightweight ladies! You know, like N1k, MathBabe, bunny, eejit....

Obviously you and I would need to drink more to level the playing field. This is not a problem - not for me, anyway.

Holy shit fuck piss, lets do it! What time?

im so up for this. Anytime

And in response the the n1k, bunny, eejit thing..........


fuck, who am i kiidding, 2 beers and im anyones.


on a serious note ill be consuming 6 beers, as 4 wont make me play like a dumbass.

This sounds fun, but yeah, I'm a lightweight. I don't think I will even be able to find the check or fold buttons with 4 beers in me. I can get a buzz off one.

LOL, I spend to much time here when my kids' names are being dropped in posts.:D

Ditto that. I'd be all over this game.

I might regret it the next morning at 6am when Alex gets up, but, hey, what the hell...

Ok, we are definitely doing this then. As for exactly when, I'm not sure. I'd hate to set it up and then miss it myself. Stay tuned, I guess.

I'll definitely be drunk Friday night, but not sure if I'll be around to play.

Since alcohol lowers inhibitations, and the last thing I need is that KTo to be looking even better in early position, I have a strict rule with myself about drinking and poker. Easy rule... no playing poker if I've had anything to drink that day, and the first drink doesn't get poured until the last table is closed down. The only exception is the league games, where I expect to suck anyway, and am only there to have fun.

As an aside, when my dad flew he had a strict rule about "12 hours between bottle and throttle". Whenever he quoted it he'd pause, get a little twinkle in his eye, and follow it up with "That's why you'll always see pilots drinking their beer out of a can".
