Drinking and Gambling.
I was just watching PTI on ESPN and Norman Chad said that Men the Master drank 11 Coronas in 3.5 hours at this years WSOP.
Is he too hardcore? Is this smart? What else was he on?
I have mixed feelings on the topic, since drinking and gambling have a rich tradition and it's been proven to be technically impossible to bet on boxing and watch it while not drinking. But 11 Corona's? That's crazy chico!

Maybe Chad was talking about Men's final table before he got knocked out. I dunno - all I know was he said he drank 11 corona's in 3.5 hours while playing in the WSOP.
That is still hardcore. The last time I drank 11 corona's in Vegas, I was trying to get my hands on a different kind of "pairs..."
ROFLMAO. Nice, very nice. As for drinking and poker, I wouldn't get hammered in a tournament, or for that matter a cash game either.
However, when it's just the guys at someone's house playing, it's a different story altogether. For me, it adds another interesting twist to poker: how drunk can I get before I forget what 'outs' are? Then, it's a matter of trying to dance on that line.
One thing that should not be overlooked (or overused) is that the right amount of alcohol combined with the right type of person in the right type of mood can actually help a player's game. Normally passive players can sometimes step up their game to a much more profitable, aggressive level. I've seen it many times, and have occasionally experienced it myself.
Then I realized it's probably better just to always be playing that way. Um, aggressively, not hammered.

I found that i was more agressive and played alot more hands than normal.
The World Series is a "Series" of tournaments. Every day there is a new tournament starting. 7 card stud, holdem, omaha and others are played.
So there is a final table every day. The main event is the $10 000 buyin no limit holdem. So yes Men the master was drinking at a final table of one of the events but not the main event. I saw Men in Foxwoods for the World Poker Finals last november and he made the final table of the $300 limit holdem. He was drinking corona there too.( he won by the way)
Moosehead is surely the greatest beer created
I would be tipsy after about 6. After 11 I would probably be down and out for at least 24 hours.
You would be surprised how many Coronas you can drink. It is extremely weak beer, which is why it tastes so great.
Oh I'm not surprised.. I've tried it. I can't drink beer all night long like some people, I need to switch it up after 6 or so or else I get totally out of it.
I'm quite the cheap drunk myself. In my case, you probably have to divide all these numbers by about 10.
