Have you doped to play Poker?

[mtl mile end]

Hey Mit, are you very thirsty with these pills (diphenhydramine)?

Not really. I only take one at a time (60mg). I don't drink a lot of water. I am not one of those people who is constantly worried about hydration. I am generally not in an air conditioned environment in the Summer. In the Winter, the air inside is always very dry, but I rarely take the pills in the Winter. I drink a lot of beer. :beer:

EDIT: I just noticed you asked about diphenhydramine and not pseudoephedrine. I only take the diphenhydramine when I am about to go to sleep. I don't know how thirsty they may make me.

Never drugs,
I play only with my friends: Jack, William and Johnny.

[Alex Sentsov]

Intelligence pills? That's something new...)) Drank a couple of pieces and won the tournament!!!

 

[Gaviria8]

Does drinking energy drink count?

After long time playing, I think thats doping!

 

[HAMC81]

LOL

not even once

I always play while smoking pot, it relaxes me

If im too tired I might use some coke

 

[Poker Orifice]

I wouldn`t be able to stay awake for as long as I do playing Poker if I didn`t take something. For me it is just for fun and a pass time.the same as for all my mates who play online. I personally don`t know anyone who has made a profit from online poker. If you have let me know

I have. (as have thousands of others... some continue to make a living at it)

 

[Poker Orifice]

What kind of question is that?
How old are you?
OMG

Pretty sure it doesn't have anything to do with OP's age...

Adderall is commonly used by poker players.

Here's a short interview with Brandon Adams on 60mins.

Now I have heard something new. Intelligence pills?

 

[Anders1616]

The only dope I take is a strong cup of tea in the evening.

Some times when the tournament drags on, i will take a cup of coffee to stay awake.

 

[crisco609]

LOL this is a funny thread. I'm assuming by "intelligence pills" you're talking about Adderol or something like that...

I think that's silly if people go out to get this specifically for poker. I was prescribed that stuff when I was in college to help me concentrate in class and pull all-nighters when I had a big project, and I honestly don't think that those drugs would even improve my poker game, no more than a cup of coffee would anyway....

 

[RiverLord90]

No, but I'm sure others do.

I used to be have an adderall script but never played while on it. I have produced a song on adderall before lol it really helps with workflow so I imagine it could help decision making in poker.

 

[jfofla]

friend, do not believe in doping to play poker, or you are good and can read and be aware of the game and that each player can do during the game or you just play with luck and will not advance pills or other adjectives that will make You're a winner.

 

[monstr999999]

drink while playing something ????))))
wear a diaper immediately...)))
:shot:

Actually i was taken that small pills that boost the brain speed and attention, it was glycine i guess. Can't say was it a placebo or a real effect, but i've felt that it was easy to concentrate and to think quicker. Also, i taking antiaging-health.com.au/can-c_eye-drops as most of the time i'm playing inline and have to compensate that.

Not certain but I don't think glycine falls under the category of doping though. Those are supplements like fish oil if I'm correct.

 

[KristaK]

I'm not talking about cannabis, alcohol, coca or something, I'm talking about real doping to take advantage from rivals like pills for concentration, pills for intelligence, etc.
Do you thing it's good?

i think this is a silly thread... geeze really?

 

[pokerpie]

Preference to me is to not take any substances during play, but wait till afterwards then splurge on whatever intoxicants I want lol. Usually works out better for me in the long run that way at the felt.

 

[MishkaZL]

I do not need doping to play poker. I get real pleasure from the game, so I do not need any additional stimulants. For me, the best stimulus is sport.

 

[0546474]

I think that playing sports and reading books will be the best option for improving concentration and increasing the level of intelligence !!! Moreover, it will be more stable and long-term option than tablets !!!

 

[ChickenArise]

Actually I have found that alprazolam is a powerful drug if you suffer any anxiety during a live game, but it is addictive. I guess if you used it infrequently it could help you. Getting your dosing correct might prove tricky.

Nootropics are mostly supplements but sometimes drugs that are used to increase mental focus. I am experimenting with Bacopa extract in combination with Rhodiola Rosea and Magnesium Threonate. The Bacopa seems to increase focus.

i think this is a silly thread... geeze really?

Why do you think this is a silly thread? This is actually pretty normal in the poker community.

Any Topping is bad because if in a common sense a person plays not ahty then dope will not help but if you have mind clarity mind then mind or rather brain works better who yes in blood normal sugar concentration for this well suited chocolate especially Chess players love chocolate, vitamins all possible take a tablet complex, and keep the stomach half-starved as a student then the brain will look for where to eat hence earn, and drugs do not try to become a junkie

 

[SprMnd]

I have never tried taking pills that increase attention, and have not even thought about it. I think such things can only be done by players who are sitting all night long in a casino or at home at a computer at cash tables waiting for fishes.

Well I hear many say that Being stoned makes them play bad, or even other players sy they look at the stoner types to be easy targets after they come back from their smoke break. lol

Let me tell you something, that might be the case with some people, but not everyone.

I stay lit and I play my best poker stoned.

Btw this is kind of a silly question.

 

[Mmurilove]

I do not use it, but I believe it can bring benefits in the short term, increasing your focus and concentration.
But the price to be paid in the long run is very expensive, greatly harming your health, and so I think it is not worth it.

 

[MrPokerVerse]

Never doped to play poker but have felt like a dope for playing at times. Does that count?
