How many real pros drink at the table? That's poor discipline and I know of a couple of otherwise good players that went broke because they couldn't handle their alcohol.

[/ QUOTE ]I drink nearly everytime I play live and have gotten hammered quite a few times. I honestly don't think it makes me play any worse.

Right. and driving drunk doesn't make you drive worse.

As to the argument between Hip and whoever:

Hip also plays in Detroit where the rake is 5+1 (or is it 6+1?) which probably effects his winrate substantially.

Also he probably isn't that much better than you. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

How do you possibly equate what I said to alcohol not affecting your motor skills?

I honestly think that, if anything, I play BETTER when drinking because I'm having more fun and can be more patient. Poker isn't that difficult, especially lower stakes games.

Sigh... I'm just saying that people think they are good at things when they are under the influence when they really aren't. I doubt you play better drunk. Intoxication effects your decision making process adversly. Poker is a game of decision making. You do the math. Just don't do when you're drunk.
