Energy Drinks and Poker - Good or Bad

ACEGOONER

Just come back from tescos and felt a bit lethargic so have a pint of syrup to drink.

I will let you all know what it did for my poker later !

PROTIP: neck 3 cans of red bull before a live session and, if you're anything like me, your hands will be shaking like mad. Anyone who's paying attenton will think you have a monster and you can get bluffs trough on any scary flop

I usually have a lucozade energy(orange hate original) or 2 but i dont think it affects my game.

Just stick to coffee, works much better imo.

Although I used to have  some coffee called rocket fuel when I worked nights. One cup of that was like having 10 cans of Red Bull.

Does cider count as an energy drink?

the mad genuis school of bluffing that.

I usually call people who shake in a certain way. Their shake is different. Watch carefully youl;l see it.

P.S. Redbull does the trick for late night sessions.

Wouldn't advise grinding at qll if you're feeling lethargic. Energy drinks tend to give you a mad rush of sugar for a couple of hours but the crash afterwards can make you feel horrible. Only time I'd recommend using them for poker is if you happen to go deep in a late night tourney and need a lift to get you over the line. Even then it's not such a good idea if you're working the next day!
