ferrisbuellr 0 Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 First off I am a big fan of the booze, especially beer. I have found out through the years that I play much better poker when I have no beer, or maybe 1 or 2 to take the edge off. As soon as I start hitting the beer hard, my game, stamina, and skill go right down the toilet. So I know some people thrive on it sometimes (Scotty Ngynen, Chris Moneymaker, Men The Master ect....) but I really do play a much better game when I dont drink. SO my word of advice is if you want to be a serious poker player dont drink.....LMK what you think. Link to post Share on other sites

ferrisbuellr 0 Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 Well thats pretty obvious. I just wanted to know if you thought some people might do better with the booze, ie. Scotty Nguyen,Moneymaker ect...I just read an interview with Chris Moneymaker saying he drinks beer to get his game going...Like I said earlier, if I stick to 2-4 maybe, I am fine, but 5-12+ and I am no good, and I am a solid drinker. GL ALL!! And respect the juice. Link to post Share on other sites
