Against my better judgement, I played in a pick up game during my neighborhood block party. Is it just me, or do bad drunks pretty much spoil the whole poker experience?

There is a "pub poker" league here in DC that I went to for a while until I got tired of the drunks. I don't go anymore.

It's not just the 'bad' drunks that can spoil one......even the good ones spoil it for the more serious player.......
At least that's my 2 cents...... |

From Phil Gordon's book, POKER: THE REAL DEAL
One of the few tips on "How to put a table on tilt":
| Quote: | Feign Drunkenness
Nobody likes a drunk. A winning drunk is even worse. Scooping big pots while seemingly intoxicated to the point of near-collapse is a sure way to piss off your opponents.
Order a drink. Say "another drink" even if it's your first. Spill a little on your lap — never underestimate the sense of smell — and alternate between holding your head miserably in your hands and erupting in fits of delirious, high-pitched giggles.
This style of play is not recommended if you actually are drunk, in which case you should probably tighten up your play considerably, or, better yet, sleep it off. If you're of that rare breed who actually plays better drunk, congratulations! You've got a natural edge.
