Problem is, I seem to get TIGHTER when I'm drunk. I'm just more aggressive with my bets when I do play and I trust my reads more.

For instance, here are my trains of thoughts when I'm trying to bluff someone on the river. I raised preflop 3x the BB, got like 4 callers. Flop checked all around. I'm second to last to act, I pump out a $25 bet. Last position thinks about it a little bit, then calls. Other two fold. Now, I'm trying just to nab this pot on the river. These are the things I'm mumbling at the screen while I'm staring at my opponent's avatar.


Slightly intoxicated me: "Fold. Fold. FOLD!!!!!! You have NOTHING, I KNOW you have nothing, because of your weakass call on the turn. You were on that spade draw and now it's played out and you didn't hit it! No WAY you can call $70 into this $90 pot. 'Cause you have NOTHING. Never mind that I have six high! YOU....HAVE....NOTHING! FOLD!"

Sober me: "I don't think he has anything, but I'm not sure I'm willing to risk my chips here. I check." ..... "fuck. He bet. I have six high. I fold."

I think that about sums up the differences.
