Does Pot or do any other specific Drugs Enhance Your Tourney or playing ability?

I've noticed on the tables that several players have weed related icons and occassionally chat and remark about how they're smoking a joint, a blunt or a bowl. Some like to brag about their bongs and the high quality buds they're enjoying. I don't recall seeing any of these potheads on the final table with me. I'm sure sometimes they win though, I just don't see them lasting like some of the other veterans. I get a little anxious stoned on weed, and find myself more likely to take a donkey style risk when I'm high. So I have a few questions to poll with here.
1. Do you think you play better stoned on weed?
2. Do you enjoy your tourney more when you're high on marijuana?
3. Is there a better drug choice to take advatage of when playing a tourney?
:cool::confused::rolleyes:

I like to drop acid so that every hand I am dealt I see AA

Weed gives me more patience, I would get more distracted easily and not be able to sit and focus that long on poker and will donk away my stack, anytime I win im high.

Hmmmm..... It seems the heads are going to defend smoking dope and having the patience to still win anyway while they're stoned. Very Good !!! I think I actually play better on Xanax.... Of course if I've blazed one too... that helps to take the anxious edge off of me... and I can still maintain... and sometimes win or place..... Happy Poker Heads

lil speed goes along way! Makes it seem like time passes faster, giving me more patience. =)

This question makes me laugh, and hopefully no one smokes crack to play better lol:D

While on LSD I won a $50,000 dollar tournament. Oh wait a minute it was just a hallucination.

I think I played better back in the day when i used to smoke pot....I don't think other drugs would help but weed made me focus more...I don't smoke now a days so I put it all on allheart to make me play better lol

no actually i sit out alot when smokin crack cuz im checkin the windows lmao

I would say i play better stoned, but im never not stoned so hard to test this theory out.... but yeah gotta love the weed , oh and ill brag about my buds on a final table too

In all seriousness, I wonder how rife Adderall or other ADHD medications, licit or not, are among pro poker players.

although a lil opiates make me chill out and relax as long as i dont do enough to nod out, but those were before the good ole recovery days

Maybe you should try heroin or pcp lol and if things start to get crazy just remember its to enhance your game hehe

Don't know about online, but in live games, the worst donks are those who are high.

yeah heroin was my drug of choice but im in recovery/relapse now

i think it depends on the person.... for me... i need it to function lol... therefore it helps my tournament game tremendously...

keys to winning:

1. some focus

2. n some hocus pocus

lol huh?

Recreational drug use is completely gay

what u mean pok and poter go hand and hand lol

Live poker, I gotta have a shot and a beer in me.enough to calm me down to not give away tells, not enough to make me stupid. Online, the more I drink, the better I do(it makes me stupider than my opponents)

LMAO!!! Tweekin and Geekin! 8O

Why do tweekers and geekers like to do it doggy style?............................................ .........................

So they can both peek out the window at the same time.

Yes...When Itake xanax or klonpin is helps with nervousness and wont be scared to makeabigplay

AlsoI play better on pills...Feel more into the game.

Since Day 1 I've been pretty sure the majority of you are on drugs to make half the plays you make.

when I take Viagra, my junk rises up and slaps my hand from the call button!saved me LARGE:cool:

hmm i was sober for 6 years while making a living playing online, then black friday hit and i started smoking again. i stayed in america and eventually went busto...

edit: smart drugs like provigl or adderall would certainly work in my opinion, however i have never tried either of these. ive tried almost everything else, so dont think im being a prude

Yes they make my 92 off suits all look like AA. Also theres lots of bright colors on my cards that signal me to call any and all shoves.

very funny like this answer the best good sense of humor wagon

I think it all depends on how your personally react while on these substances!

I used to think when I was younger that pot made me play better now it don't I play just as good normal as high

Adderall for me. I haven't got adhd but it does wonders for my focus and attention span. The stuff is so expensive though

I thought it was a well known fact that a lot of players use Benzo's while playing (ie: Xanax). Though I actually read that in a poker book(HoH Cash?)? ..not sure if that was where I read it though

Every persons physiology is different, a drug can affect one person completely differently than another person, therefore a drug that might benefit one player is not always going to have the same effect on the next player.

I find when I smoke I actually will lay down hands or fold in spots that I shouldn't because I over think things. I definitely play a much tighter game stoned than I do sober. If I drink just a couple beers it takes the edge off in a live game, but if I get wastey face drunk than I end up playing super loose aggro and win a whole lot or lose it all.. no in between.

I would think that adderal would be a drug of choice for poker players, but have not heard much about it being used in the poker scene. I know Matasow used to use Meth and play, which is basically the same thing as adderal.

Pot enhances my eating lots of cookies, chocolate, and ice cream abilities.
I think a lot of the people who think they perform better on any kind of drug are just deluded by the drug.

I've been high as a kite at every FT I've been at. I'm high whenever I'm playing. I'm usually high when I'm not playing too. Helps me focus on the game, and to not go crazy when I get donked on. Nearly impossible to tilt when you're stoned. Yay weed!
