Poker tips Rule 3
Don’t Play Drunk or under the influence of any other substance
Many times I have sat across a table from someone & watched them have a few drinks, they get confident, get plastered and eventually throw away their entire stack of chips.
I’ve been there myself- there are nights where you’re just playing with friends for low stakes and it’s more about the fun than the poker – if so kick back enjoy and be prepared to lose.
If you’re in a casino, or playing for real stakes, watch the alcohol. The truth is, while you may feel more relaxed after 2 drinks, it may lead to you playing looser and less disciplined, even if you are not ‘drunk.’
In the long-run you, as a tighter more disciplined player, will be more successful and take down more pots.
Remember: It is very easy to go from calm, to confident, to cocky to bust as it is. Alcohol will not help.
