Chips: 43 | | | Alcohol and Poker: Anyone play better? I actually do a little better whn I've had a few beers (read: six-pack). I am more relaxed and give off fewer tells. Or maybe not fewer tells, but it is easier to give off misleading tells. Normally, my weakness is when I have a medium strength hand. But Budweiser helps me play more decisively when I'm on a draw...
ANyone else play better buzzed? |

ANyone else play better buzzed? | Online I play horribly if buzzed or "one eye-ing it" but live games I tend to do well since the regs at my game play the ole "I'll just sit back and wait to hammer him when he does a big bluff"...but the truth is by the time that occurs I've accumulated enough bluffing chips to take the hit.  |

Chips: 123 | | | Re: Alcohol and Poker: Anyone play better? For me it seems to take the edge off... At least I think so. This seems to help me when getting involved in big pots. Kind of like going to the dentist and getting the gas... GOOD STUFF!  | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
