maybe its poker, maybe it self esteem?
I play poker. i love it im the stereotipical big fish small pond. Every table i play i win, when im drunk. When im sober i play, too tight. when im drunk im fast, i see everything everyone tries to pull. I can read like m in your head. when i drink i can call what you have in you hand by your actions befor you show. when im sober you would think i learned 2 days ago. my question is (only dedicated poker players will understand) does this make me a bad player or should i learn to open, more self esteem sober? also does anyone else play like this? just to add- I know statistics and odds.

You have the capability of being a much better poker player while you are sober, but you need to relax as when you are drunk.

it does not sound like you are playing too tight when sober, but rather that you play in a predictable fashion and your opponents are able to pick up on what you have. If you can understand how being unpredictable can work to your advantage, you will be more effective than just drinking and getting lucky.

You should have someone videotape you while you are playing while drunk and while sober. You may be amazed at the differences in how you appear to other players. They may be able to read you more easily when you are sober.

It's all about the odds and knowing how to throw off other players. It's fun to do too.

SOUNDS TO ME LIKE WHEN YOU DRINK, YOU PLAY WITH MORE INTENSITY AND DETERMINATION. YOU SEEM TO GET MORE AGGRESSIVE AS WELL. MORE HEART, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. IT'S A RUSH WHEN YOU STEP UP TO THE CHALLENGE, AND HAVING FUN AT THE SAME TIME WHEN YOU FIND YOUR OPPONENTS WEAKNESSES OR TELLS. YES, I PLAY THAT WAY TOO. EXHILARATING, ISN'T IT?
