Alright first off, I'm obviously new to the forum...so a slight introduction is probably in order. I've only been playing Hold'em for 2 years, started playing at the Turning Stone Casino in NY while I was stationed at Fort Drum. Started at 3-6 and moved up to No-Limit. And since I've played religiously...we play almost on a nightly basis here, but the reason for the post is that my Girlfriend's dad plays, but he never plays sober...and it's just so hard to predict and play against someone that has no thought behind any of his actions...he'll call an all in with 5 8 off...just because ther was a 9 on the flop....i got a straight draw he'll say. anyone else have any issues with playing against alcoholics? and how bad it feels to get sucked out on by one majorly bad call?

The only issue I have is deciding what to do with the money they will give me. Dont bluff them and value bet them to death. It doesn't hurt that much to get sucked out by them knowing that you'll have a great chance of getting the money back later.I think your girlfriends dad may have a drinking problem but its better your taking his money then someone else lol. Seriously you and your girlfriend should consider getting him help or talking to him about it.

You WANT people to call your strong hands with 58oYou (sort of) WANT people to be sucking out on the River - if they are sucking out, then, by definition, the are playing from behind and you're going to win more often than you lose.The thing about playing with drunks isn't their erratic play - it is the rest of the burdensome behavior the comes with being around drunks.

Is this a HATE thread?Not all drunks play bad... I think I play pretty good. Your girlfriends dad is just 1 drunk that plays horribly. Don't give alcoholics a bad name please.
