Alcohol has improved my game!

PuppetJack

I know it sounds wierd, & there's not a huge amount of data to support, but following my recent ... ahem... interestingly losing streak, I'm somewhat innebriated tonight & I seem to be making all the RIGHT decisions.

I know everyone says that alcohol fueled poker is a bank buster, but to be honest, I'm normally quite a NIT.and tonight i'm not.

Having been drinking all night, my friends left & I decided to start playing with the last of my bankroll, before topping it up.
As it is, I've been making all the right calls & folds & in less than 3 hours I've over tripled my B/R.

Does anyone else share this wierdness, or is the concensus that I'm having a flukey night rather than my looser (loose not lose!)  self making winning decisions?

really appreciate any feedback from players who have shared my experience..

- anyway....back to my beer ... lol

take it you was playing cash and not mtt ?? in mtt i was 7th off 9th with 8 paid when b/band went down and i fnnished 6th, seems i play better sat out ?? lol

PuppetJack

Nah, it was an MTT. I cam 1st. remarkably quickly.

I'm now on a cash table & in less thwn 15 mins I have over twice what I started with!!!

perhaps it's a fluke? but I'm keeping going.

for tonight at least.....

PuppetJack

Playing whilst drinking is fine...

Playing paraletic is when the problems start !!!!

Alcohol has turned me into a winning player.....

I give it freely to all my mates at the home games, whilst I am consuming a cup of tea.

surley the cost of the booze would make it -ev

I know what you scots are like with drinking

GREGHOGG

on topic, i agree with Dohhhhhhh, playing drunk is easier than it should be, and reviewing the hand history sober makes me realise i play good drunk too!

But... ONCE YOU CROSS THE LINE PAST THE 10TH PINT OR SO, AND THE SCREEN GETS BLLLLLLLLLLLURRRRRRRRRRRRYYYY. IT IS TIME TO STOP!!!

I think a drink or two does little harm, and can loosen up a few players that play too tightly for online blinds structires. However, a drink or 2 and drunk is very different. 

Also...sober, would you carry on playing once you had tripled your bankroll?

MAXALLY

I had my best result ever on a Bank Hol w/end. I had been out all day drinking with the lads on a Sunday, and as there was no work the following day, carried on drinking Sunday evening.

Also IMHO, if you have 'had a few', you can just laugh off the maniac plays that normally KO you from a game. If sober, they hurt more?

Each to his own though.
