? huh? i'm drunk again (not playing cards) and dont get the post.

my best bet: lets sticky this post so i can check it before i sit down drunk.

FWIw, i'm slightly up while playing drunk but i am certain its pure luck. the sample size is miniscule and i'm certainly not playing better than when i'm sober. i just know im going to have 1 or 2 bad sessions at some point and will really regret it.

as to a previous poster regarding getting used to playing drunk: kind of reminds me of jack nichlaus. i seem to remember that he would practise swinging hard when he was young b/c he knew he wanted to swing hard when his swing was perfect.

can some one learn to play drunk. i dont think so.

ive done this a few times, it really sucks waking up and realizing how much money you lost, after learning the hard way a few times, i just dont do it anymore

some things i did though were put a big sign on my computer before i went out that said dont play drunk [censored], the other thing i did which worked well was just to play heads up sit n goes, since the drunken bluffing/aggression was a good thing

i have a buddy who has an account that he plays maniac micro-limits, and then another account that he plays for amounts more applicable to his bankroll...set yourself up a little $50 account at a site that you only play drunk .50/1$ or something.

Yes. No one taught him how to play poker properly drunk - or he doesn't practice enough playing drunk.

how do i prevent myself from coming home drunk and playing cards? 1 bad session could (hasnt yet) ruin alot of hours of work.

bringing home a chic is the only solution i can find. wish it were that easy.

any thoughts?

If I come home drunk and want to play I either play with play money or the $5 PLO on Stars since that isnt a risk to my BR.
