Drugs and Poker

[limpnfold88]

weed or beer or any alcohol not good. it's better to get some cash and then drink or smoke

Or just not drink or smoke at all is better maybe?

Many won't like this....and its against my normal MO, however.... I have to say that it's best to shy away from any drug use during play. Alcohol, or otherwise...

You see, our instincts are extremely valuable, irreplaceable really. When influenced by an outside substance, your instincts are muted and become difficult to receive...

To take it seriously and to attempt to make a living with poker, one must not use outside substances. If you're simply playing for the entertainment of the game and can afford to lose what your playing with, it really doesn't matter... Play on.

 

[10058765]

Never, simply because I'm never stoned.
I doubt it's good for your play though.

 

[PCK]

Played once or twice at home games,small stakes just for fun,with friends.

 

[coolDadJimbo]

i have a puff before i play quite often... i don't see any ill effects...

beer and/or playing while tired kill me....

 

[insidious96]

I do not because I want to focus on my game.

 

[Rldetheflop]

often

 

[10058765]

often

ok....resultwise enough prove to me from now on I have to blow the shit out of me when playing....

The effects of cannabis has a calming effect in terms of badbeats but so can more remedies like drinking 2-3 cups of camomile tea an hour before a session. Horses for courses

 

[maniaka68]

I play stoned sometimes its sucks

 

[Juanes1913]

This is such a bad idea unless you're playing with friends or just to have some fun

 

[PackAnotherBowl]

Interesting. As someone with ADHD, I have to play while stoned. And I still do well. Being stoned helps curb boredom, a bankroll killer.

 

[12551255]

I will if I just want some entertainment. I know going in that I will not play my best.

Do you play better poker when your high?

How many poker players smoke the reefer?

 

[Mase31683]

Lol, nobody's going to play better smoking or drinking stuff that impairs brain function.

Here's a tip, you think you're better when you're high cuz you were high when you thought that.

Years ago I used to think I done everything better while I was high. But finally I thought if I was doing everything better, why was I always in some kind of trouble. I've played with some players that I knew had to be drunk, because they were throwing chips every where and losing and laughing about it. I'm sure when they looked at their BR the next morning, they said they would not do that again LOL

 

[oshriam]

mm well i never played while i was high lol but i play kinda bad when im tired <,<

 

[NKGB13]

well, seems that a bit of whisky take the fear out of my plays, but lots of whisky also take my inteligence out of my plays sooo.. just a shot!! hehehehe

Your cognition will be compromised, so it isn't a good thing.

 

[joe777]

Your thinking and reaction could be restricted and ended up making bad decision.

No, there is less oxygen at altitude.

 

[ribbybruno]

I had a buddy who smoked and played. Snacks surrounded him after the 1st break. LMAO! He would always be too tired later on to finish in the top ten.

 

[fordman427]

never have and never will, in my opinion it's plain DUMB. However if you want to get high and play HU just let me know

 

[TIM BANKER JR]

o yea

I find it easier to cope with long tourneys by smoking sum gud bud n helps with bad beats also

 

[Dorugremon]

How many poker players smoke the reefer?

Not nearly enough. I'd prefer if all my opponents smoked. There have even been occasions where they've tried to get me to smoke because that's the only way they'd get an edge on me.

If you find that you play better high, then your game needs a lot of work.
