How to Avoid Drunk Poker
Playing poker after a few drinks is a BAD IDEA. All too often it seems that I lose the most money playing poker when I am drunk. After a few drinks I get “the urge” to gamble, and start making stupid plays based on greed. Your calling range goes way up and you think that you are probably going to hit your gutshot straight draw. When you drink, all you want to do is WIN, and often this means you will make stupid calls in hopes of sucking out for the win.
Here are 5 tips to avoid playing online poker after you have been drinking:
1) Hide your laptop (or get someone else to do this for you). If you can’t find your computer it will be hard to play.
2) Pick up a girl/guy when you are drinking. If you bring home someone from the opposite sex, chances are poker will be the last thing on your mind.
3) Withdrawal before going out. If there is no money in your accounts, it will make it harder to play.
4) Drink more than usual. If you get too drunk, you will probably not even be able to turn on your computer as you will probably be spending most of your time hovering over the toilet.
5) Phone a friend. If you get the urge to play, work out a deal with a friend where you can call them and they will talk you out of it.
Preserve your poker bankroll, and don’t succumb to playing when you aren’t in the right mind state.
Disclaimer for the above points. We can not he held responsible if you:
1) Never find your laptop
2) Pick up an ugly guy/girl
4) Drink too much that you do something really stupid, or hurt yourself.

Haha funny post!
If you ever play poker on a Friday or Saturday night, I’d say you can find that a few of the people playing are drunk. As the night goes on and gets into the early morning hours, the drunk poker seems to get worse (for them, great for us playing against them). I don’t mind though as long as they are not sucking out and I’m making money.
