Hey all, haven't posted for a while but looking for a bit of advice.

Been doing pretty well lately in general, won a few big, field low-stake MTT's, managed a few decent cash outs, but lately I am really suffering in one area... I am throwing away money playing when Im drunk!

Playing sober, great. Playing AS Im drinking a few cans, often play a bit better than when Im sober.

The big problem arises when I get in from a night out already half wasted and want to play. Or I have 7 cans watching the footy with the lads then head up to bed and think I'll have an hour playing before sleep. When I start to play ALREADY wasted, Im throwing away, mainly in cash games, a fair bit of the money I worked hard other times to win.

To make the problem worse, when Im drunk is when I MOST want to play the game! So Im desperate to play, but Im rubbish! Lost $100 with JJ v AA last night and I knew pre-flop I was behind, it was played so cards up, but was wasted and thought, lets gamble. Would NEVER have done it otherwise, and spent the whole day kicking myself today.

So Im wondering if anyone else has had this problem before, and if they have any little tricks to stop themselves playing when under the influence. Beyond getting a technological genius to create me an interactive USB breathalizer that prevents me logging on if there is anything more than 3 pints in my system, Im not sure were to start. Maybe get a friend to hide my power lead before I go out or if I have had too many, ha.

So any advice, or if anyone else suffers from this type of thing, Id be interested to hear.

Im sure the people on my regular cash tables must thing Im the biggest Schizo since Jekyl and Hyde.

Lol Aggado you beat me to it<*( . )( . )><Yesterday is History Today will be Tomorrows Yesterday so enjoy Today

dont drink and gamble m8, play tight

i do

on a side note, ill say that drinking and playing cards is great fun

but if u cant control your br, and stick to playing lowstakes when havin fun its just stupid, nothing less. u really shud know by now, that playing under influence, makes your game a lot worse, which u also say your self, so easy solution : play the very lowest stakes in mtts and sngs - and save your money untill ur sober, patient, and hungry to win

take that from a guy that doesnt drink

at all

CHAAAAARGEEeee

good luck at your tables

i play terrible poker, better prepare urself !
