Default Warning: Don\'t drink and poker.

I would post this in BBV, cause it's actually pretty funny, but I'd rather have it serve as a warning to anybody reading this forum.

If you're anything like me, you like beer. Also, you probably like poker. Sometimes you like to drink beer while playing poker.

If this sounds like you, check this out.



This is completely serious, I actually drank pretty much where I marked on the graph, and actually donked off all that cash. This is all at 25NL. This is a graph of my last 3 days.

The problem could be specific to me- maybe I can't handle alcohol while I play. More likely though, is that it works the same way with most people. If you sometimes wish you could maybe get your winrate a bit more steady, and you're drinking while you play, I really urge you to reconsider.

That is all.

Try to do more of what you did at hands 480 or 3100.

You sure it was the beer or just variance?

It's more like variance magnified by beer.

That's pretty much a 5 buyin drop within 100 hands... Variance isn't even that cruel.

Alcohol doesn't impair or affect judgment, ask any one of my seven illegitimate children. Drink on!
