interesting thread.. coke would have on top of reads and pot would put me outta the game but I aint done any a that stuff for years
I don't know about tourneys but weed makes me much more friendly and talkative in live cash games. It helps to loosen the table up and people don't seem to care they are losing money. Online I can only play a couple tables high, so my hourly suffers.
I saw one guy...claimed he did this...claimed he was 'hittn fumes' cause he was outta rocks..Quote:

Pot used to help me focus. I have ADHD. But as I got older, It began causing me anxiety and I just can't use it anymore. I have a range of about two and four drinks where I play a bit better at live cash games. But I'm definitely better with no drinks that six.
Tree if your for real..MAJOR props...as heroin is the hardest drug to kick.Quote:

I seem to play a wider range of hands when I'm drunk. Maybe. Not sure. In a drunken stupor, I don't remember much.
the name does help to give the impression of a slow stoner... i actually smoke to slow me down to normal people speed..lol i it is whatever you are used to that helps you play better... if you study high you have to take the test high
yes im very serious, ive struggled with addiction for some years now but for the past year ive been in and out of recovery. it is a serious problem but i am slowly getting my life back, with the exception of my last major relapse i had been doin fairly well.Quote:

my husband's cousin's son just OD on the shit the other day, 40 yrs old SAD SAD SADQuote:

Not sure about the pot, but playing with adderall is freakin awesome!
Lil, speed goes along way! Makes it seem like time passes faster, giving me more patience.
I find if i smoke pot while playing i usually go inactive a lot more than usual but thats just me. Anyone else?
Coooooooke always for a good time lol
I find smoking while playing poker relaxes me and allows me to play better tighter game and also not worry as much over losing chips when blinds get big and I must fold preflop to maintain the proper table image.... Also when I play and use my stat-tracker it really makes a big difference because information is power poker...

wow treeman.... I had no idea when I posted this that so many would start confessing their addictions... guess it's a good post... a lot of players relate to it
i play high every damn night lol and let me tell you it makes me actually think in some situations i usually move way to fast in and lose every time i tend to avoid those situations more often then not like folding mid pocket pairs or hell even AK or QQ
so serious is this topic... seems everyone has been thinking about it at one time or another.... and keeping it to themselves... well if you have Diazepam or Xanax or Valuim.... or other benzos.... know that many a hand of poker has been won.... and many a tourney has been won by the player under the influence of these..... try smoking and pill popping to enhance your ability... maybe it'll work for you.... maybe not.... experiment and see.....
rivdee... now you simply put it... this is why I posted this in the first place.... lol....

Potheads, pill poppers, and other druggies (and believe me I've been them all at times in my life) will all tell you they do better at whatever they do when they're under the influence. That is flat out bullshit, a form of denial, and helps them justify why they are addicted. If you're in recovery, as I am, you get it. If your not in recovery you will justify anything. There is far too much evidence to support the fact that when you're under the influence of a mind altering substance, pot included, that you have a decreased ability to perform ANYTHING, versus someone who is not under the influence. If you think otherwise then your just another addict in denial. Plain and simple.
I would say its a case to case basis, but overall id say very generally no it doesn't change anything. for most who think it does, at least they think it does and it builds their confidence. for me it does because I have injuries that cause soreness when seated for too long along with self diagnoses add and im very wrestles, so it just chills me out so I can relax and think for hours at a time. but then sometimes im stoned and make a burnout mistake haha
I think i play smarter when online and medicated. Dont snap call with mediocre hands and make slightly better plays. Live, i like to just get a little head change. Settles the nerves before a live mtt or ring game. If im playing 4/8 holden ill drink a bit. if im running good usually get a little buzzed, sometimes drunk and thats when its fun to run over a table and youre the drunk guy
this made me LOL for real!! thanksQuote:
