Live Poker Drinking Strategies

poker beer drinking strategy

Don't look like a rock and scare off the casual players

Don’t let the seemingly odd title fool you; proper strategy at the poker table can also extend to drinking as well. There’s absolutely no advantage to playing when you’re drunk but giving off the impression of an average gambler looking to have some fun and play some cards can definitely be to your advantage, and drinking at the poker table can help you pull that off. Savvy texas holdem poker players call it “having a good image”, and while it won’t win you a hand in and of itself it can add extra profits in your pocket.

It’s easy for winning poker players to treat playing live poker like a grind, going to the casino and taking their seats and getting right down to business. Having a drink in hand would help since it will help you loosen up a little. Unlike a tourist or a casual player who thought they’d give poker a whirl, there’s little thrill for many poker regulars, causing them to treat their time at the table like any other job. There’s nothing necessarily wrong with that, but even the most inexperienced players can quickly pick up on that vibe, giving you credit for likely being a serious player and inclined to fold a lot of their worse hands that you’d really like them to call with.

Having a drink in front you is a good first step to coming across as a more casual player, as well as smiling and taking the time to talk and chat with your tablemates. With many casinos providing drinks for free, you don’t even have to pay for your improved table image, although you’ll need to keep in mind that your primary goal is to pay good poker. Sticking to beer with 5% alcohol content or lower would be a good start as it allows you to drink more without being drunk.

Needless to say, if you’re playing online poker instead all of the above pretty much goes completely out the window. With no table image to worry about, there’s no advantage to be gained by drinking when playing online poker, unless you’re just having a few drinks to kick back and relax as you enjoy the convenient, instant action at online poker sites.

    I really like this amazing post about the game of online poker as you have mentioned very discreet strategies that can be used in different variants of online poker. I really want to thank you for this post and now I would like to acknowledge people about my poker website where they can play any variant from the list of poker games and also take advantage of several bonuses that we offer to our players. The players can play poker games efficiently as we offer an interactive and a very user friendly interface.

    I agree table image is very important and I think mike caro was ther first person I heard say that in his book of tells. At the same time there is somewhat of a table image on line. I just based off reputation (even if its short lived for just that table). This image is what lets you bluff more frequently by having the reputation of playing only good cards.

    There are many casino websites on the web these days and sometimes it is hard to judge the real and fake ones. I am glad that you wrote about this matter in your post and now I am sure that new users will be able to identify the differences.

    This is exactly how a referral campaign should look like. This is proof why ebooks and giveaways are not working. People want physical products in exchange for a share and the product must be something that’s worth sharing. I once offered a Samsung Galaxy tablet for those who get the most people sign up for my mobile app and no one shared the website. I am not sure if the tablet was the only reason for people not sharing it, but it definitely played a part. Maybe it scared people off that only one person could have won it. Next time I will offer cheaper products for the first 10 persons and see how it goes.LikeLike

    How do you plan your giveaway if you don’t know how much is you conversion rate from the emails ? I understand if you make a lottery of something. But if you give it away like they gave away the blades, you might loose a lot of money.LikeLiked by 1 person

    One seriously important piece information you may be missing that I encountered when I held a defense clearance, is that written Security Classification Guidelines were essential to the information classification system. These guidelines are documents that delineate the subject areas that are classified and the level of classification for every item of information in an area. Anyone who handles or generates classified information was required to certify that they read and follow the relevant Security Classification Guidelines.You handled classified information at Sandia and didn’t have SCGs?LikeLike

    This is just what I needed! thank you guys! I recently moved and relaunched my blog from one domain to a brand spanking new .uk one which am really happy about!At the moment I am writing an eBook on blogging and the technical aspects of it and was thinking of selling it for say $15 or so! I had thought about giving away the first few chapters for free for a signup.I had just set up mandrill and mailpoet together and just set up a simple subscribe form in my sidebar with an image of my new upcoming book that would take the user to my download page for the first three chapters.However the more I think of It the more I think I should set it up like this with a subdomain spashpage! And offer my complete book to people who refer 5 signups!Many thanks for the inspiration! I will be sure to let you know how it went!– Phillip DewsLikeLike

    In these days of austerity as well as relative anxiety about taking on debt, lots of people balk about the idea of having a credit card to make acquisition of merchandise or maybe pay for a vacation, preferring, instead only to rely on the particular tried plus trusted way of making settlement – raw cash. However, if you have the cash on hand to make the purchase in whole, then, paradoxically, that is the best time for you to use the credit card for several causes.

    You already know this but you are wonderful. I am hoping you write once more very soon! Are you a fan of Reddit? I like your write ups but… I do not read well. Do you have Youtube videos on the topic?
