Anyone get a performance boost when taking Adderall (dextroamphetamine) or Ritalin (methylphenidate)? Personally I can play non stop and perfect poker. Final table 4 tables in one night easily on ACR.

Never realized you could create an egde using drugs.
Hope pro's like Phil Ivy are reading this thread, to make up for the scams that failed.

If you create a dependency on the drugs to reach a desired mindset or physical response from yourself, then realize that it could be a permanent thing. I am trying to develop a long-lasting even-keeled approach that is replicable to an extent when effective without drugs. I was once addicted to drugs, and had to take a long break from poker after choosing to stop using them.

Yes, you can create a spectacular edge in poker with the right drugs only. I am pretty sure cocaine is one that stu ungar used to gain an edge in poker.

Mind you I also had 48 hour sessions of online poker with the use of Adderall. :p I also use it a lot and I am pretty used to the lift it gives me, I just zone right into the game without a break of concentration for extremely long periods of time and without fatigue, way longer than I can do playing without the use of Adderall. Adderall also helps me with patience because making the money can take a long time sometimes it may seem, but with the buzz of Adderall going it seems like no time at all. :p

I'm not telling you what to say or do but I would suggest to you that perhaps you might want to delete this thread? While you're not intentionally promoting drug use or illegal activity. It could be taken that way? I bring this to your attention because I recently was served a infraction in a similar situation. Just a friendly heads up!

Seems to be a precarious path, for the reasons noted above by several folks. I guess maybe it will work for you...until it doesn't.

Hello.
This can have bad consequences for your health.
Alcohol and drugs are your addiction. A successful player can not be addicted to alcohol and drugs. Good luck.

I will tell you that it is possible to achieve high performance if using a totally natural routine with well-balanced exercises and feeding it is possible to reach 4 more final tables quietly as well and without ruining your body

Now and then coffee. Besides that, nothing in the drug related category. Pretty vanilla for these times.

Yeah, you are correct about Stu. The side effect was death at early age and was broke most of the time. Small price to pay?

It would be interesting to do scientifically approved tests about these drugs in poker, but it can be something of a double edge because the problem would come when you start to win and then your success depends on that drug, then you can not win or play at a high level in a clean way. .. you lose security in your decisions or in your game, that's what I think.

in my opinion, the use of drugs is unjustifiable in any occasion
