Default Re: Drinking sports drinks while playing live

I remember hearing a similar sort of thing about Go. World contenders were weighed in before and after a long match, with weight being lost during the game.

However, with respect to poker, I don't think this would be as prominent. In chess or go, you are constantly thinking and applying (hopefully) full mental efforts. With poker, a lot of it is waiting to be dealt a hand, and many of the hands we play (I know you play 4/8ish limit [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]) are more or less on autopilot.

I'm sure it's a good idea to maintain proper hydration tho... just my two cents.
