#9 Drunk Guy (Chick)

It's hard to put this style of player down in bar poker as they are the ones that spend the money to keep the games alive. There are varying types to this style. First there is the guy that's already drunk at the bar and sees there is a poker game and decides to play. These guys are loose cannons because most have not ever played bar poker and know very little etiquette. They tend to be very aggressive and will play any cards and chase all the way and many times call you with nothing because they don't any better. They are usually the first ones out and if you want some of their chips you better play a lot of hands early. If they happen to be catching, don't worry it will be short lived as the alcohol takes away any patience that they may have. They tend to be loud and obnoxious and others at the table will not like it, but once again they probably have spent more then the rest of the table so I don't really care. The next is the tight player that rarely drink and decides to have a few extra. You will notice as they become more intoxicated they will become louder and will be come more aggressive on the table. They may even go as far to tell you that they playing more aggressive because they are drunk. You have to handle this person with a little more care as they know the basics of poker and will fold if they believe they are behind. The last type is the ones that get quieter and even tighter as they drink. They are worried that the alcohol may lead to them doing something wrong and people will judge them by that. This style many times will muck their all in if they are behind because they don't want you to see what they have played. We all need to play intoxicated once in a while just for the fun of it! I have seen just about it all running bar poker from players passing out on the floor, to sleeping on the table, spilling on the tables,cards or chips or puking in the bathroom. So, to all you that play this style, I say thank you and please come again
