Default Drunken gambling

Yesterday I had a sweet session playing super-drunk 2/4NL. Made like $800, not really spectacular but it got me thinking about how freaking easy 2/4 is and how awesome I am even when dead drunk.

I believe that I can beat 2/4 as long as I don't have that gamb00l attitude push every hand kind of thing. 3/6 I am probably no better than breakeven and I suspect I am a loser at 5/10.

What is the highest stakes yall can beat when you're pissed?

Any stake (maybe higher as well) that i normally beat if I get a good start, if I get a bad start playing drunk and is stupid enough to continue playing it often goes waaay bad.

Well Party Blackjack is infinite +EV so that's not really too impressive. I find it more satisfying when I have to work a bit for my money like in poker.

I really don't think being drunk affects gambling that much. It seems most of the decisions I make are pretty much 2nd nature by now. IMO if u are beating a game for 5+BB/100 you can still be a winner while drunk.

Like Hattifnatt said, so long as I get off to a good start, I play almost as well when drunk, sometimes better than sober if I have just a few drinks in me (trust my instincts more). It's the emotional side of being drunk that hurts my game. Tilting happens more easily.

It should be noted that what I am talking aobut is not the old 2 drinks drunkenness, that is obviously no problem. I am talking about the kind of drunkenness when you sorta fall on stuff and exchange pants with the other party members.
