drunken poker

[car ramrod]

Anyone ever come home late at night from the bars, and for some reason you decide to play poker. I have done it the last couple weekends. Fortanutely I have had good outings, but I am worried that it could kill my bankroll some night if I play bad (due to alcohol making me think I can hit that 2 outer).
One good thing is that it seems late at night the play is a lot looser, so maybe I should stay sober and come home and play.

If you're gonna do this, just play at stakes well below your normal level. Then you can have the fun of drunken poker with no risk to your BR.

BTW this is clearly a poker topic in OOT, not looked highly upon in here.

[car ramrod]

sorry, fairly new to the site, just figured the poker guys would not like it either, where is a good spot for these stupid rants.

[MEbenhoe]

probably general or psychology

P.S. love the name and welcome to the forums

Just post it in the poker section you normally discuss your hands.

i like playing micro NLO/8 at the end of a drunken night. when a bad session costs you less than the price of a beer, it's good times.

once i played in a sit and go, passed out with ~6 people left, and made the money. i was very surprised at the extra money in my account.

[car ramrod]

thats great,
nice thing to wake up to, extra money, and no idea how you got it.
It is kind of fun to do, I guess I better make sure I play low limits to avoid any real damage. Glad to hear I'm not the only one who enjoys it now and again.

thanks for the replies, next time I'll make sure my post here is way way off the topic.

I think after 11:30 Pm CST 90% of the players on the Pokerstars .02/.04-.05/.1 are drunk.

If you're going to play poker drunk, then this is the book for you.

This came from a thread (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=1710983&page=0&view=colla psed&sb=5&o=14&fpart=1) in Books/Software about Ed Miller's new book. It made me laugh so hard that I thought it had to be shared here. There are a couple other funny covers.

It's 8pm and I'm drunk. I'm playing poker while I wait to GO OUT to the bars. I'm usually way to drunk to do anything, let alone play poker, when I get home.

The play is definately looser. But playing drunk is a bad idea. In Super System Doyle Brunson says that he never drank when he played. He needed his wits about him. When you are playing to make money, play sober. That will eliminate all those drunken errors

I think this one is better, especially when you realize that Mason originalled spell it "startef"

No credit for the silly thread starter?

[B Dids]

I give Mason a lot of credit, but your cover just wasn't up to snuff. What with the lack of clowns, bunnies, and boats.

[kipin]

I challenge anyone to come up with a more original and higher quality cover done strictly in MS Paint.

A couple weeks ago I was ridiculously drunk and decided to sit down at a 2/4 bad-beat jackpot table. I hadn't played a game of limit hold'em in several months. I continued drinking...by the time I was done I'd gone through 2 bottles of wine (pre-sitting down), half a 750 of knob creek (post-), and some miscellany (post-). 2 hours of play ended with me +$320. Ergo, drunken poker is a good thing.

I play completely wasted all the time at my normal level (10/20) short. I think that my play is def. worse but so so bad that it us EV-. Also it is so sweet to wake up in the AM with an extra 300.

[thenlguru]

I play very seldom holdem, and even more seldom tournaments. But yesterday when I came home I registered to three MTT. $20+rebuys $33 freezout and $11 freezout.. made the final table in first two and also in the money in 3rd. Never had such a succes in a MTT, I played much looser shooting allin here and there, and all those weak-tight fuckerz kept folding.

Going to do the same tonight and play the prima $100k guaranteed...

[AngryCola]

Thanks for pointing this out Dynasty.

I don't recall laughing that hard all week.

[fimbulwinter]

... is all about freeroll tournaments, $5 buyin tournaments and microstakes. I'd never play my normal stakes drunk, but limit with some liquor in ya is fun as heck.

I think Mason should consider adding a Drunken Poker Forum.

Empire's 1+0 MTT at 5am is a must for drunken poker
