Drinking and Poker DO NOT Mix
I play poker about once a week at a friend’s house. We keep the blinds fairly low, $.25/$.50, but it’s not uncommon to see pots get to be $50+. A normal raise just to see the flop is $3.
Some of the guys who like to play like to drink, which is fine by me. However, I’ve noticed that the guys who drink too much when they’re playing usually aren’t the better players to begin with and end up donking off anywhere from $40-$100.
All I’m saying is that if you’re not a very experienced poker player, please don’t drink. Because I’m not going to feel bad for you AT ALL when I take your money.
What do you think about playing with people who drink? What have you noticed?

I love playing live games and watching people get rather intoxicated. Like you, I don’t feel bad when they donk their chips off - especially if I’m the recipient of them.
