I would agree with most people above. If you are falling asleep, you should drink some caffeine (eg. coffee or tea). I don't think many other drugs will help you out at the poker table.


Conclusion is,lot of coffee or energy drink need and not relaxing and call how Rassian boy's ever card's call not metter what flop say.Played smart and easy turn On brain in max power :D :D

ALL IN - SENSATION

In all in - you had the feeling of being winning and losing when you finish out the last letter?

Use of Medicine

Do you use any medications for the brain, playing poker in order to take long sessions to get tired and be concentrated? and how mush is safe for health in your opinion?

I don't use anything in cash games. I might drink one cup of coffee with caffeine early in the session. If I get restless or mildly tired, I get away from the table for ten or fifteen minutes. If I get really tired, I go home.

In tournaments, I can't go home when I get tired. I don't play in tournaments as much as cash games but when I do, I use Five-Hour Energy. It is fairly mild but effective.

ENERGY overnight

What do you take to raise cheerfulness for playing poker all night? Maybe pills containing caffeine or Eleutherococcus or as I am-energy drink? And does it helping you? I cannot say that energy drink always helping me for example if I very tired(((

For example it is considered that energy drinks do poker players more aggressive. However, it often hurts the players themselves. I personally prefer black tea or coffee.

what about drug testing in big live competions?

When I'm in a long MTTsession (f.ex. longer then 6 h), I eat nuts. All kind of nuts. The chewing makes your concentration go up and nuts are good brainfood. When I'm really tired I drink strong tea or energy drink. Often I see a friend playing online while drinking (alcohol) -> dangerous by all means.

I believe you're in some kind of problems when you start taking drugs for a game of poker. Not only is it very unhealthy, but I guess it messes with the thinking too. And what about possible addictions. Both mentally stimulating and mentally calming medication have too many negative side effects.

IMO drug testing could be a good thing for poker. Of course online it's impossible to do and it stays the responsibility of the single player, but it can be done in big live competitions. Integrity and fair play in sport is a fundamental requirement for fans and sponsors to trust that the games are fair. So isn't it time to introduce it to our beloved poker?

It's being known that poker players more often have a more rebellious character, but nowadays it's become a real big business with big sponsors, investors, staking arrangements and so on. So wouldn't it be better for the image of the poker that the big organizers try to make it clean and therefore more fair?

Medicine I think personally towards me, because it is a way to clear my mind when different things happen to me, it speeds up the intuition maybe, makes me have fun and spend time alone with what I like to play poker, but I do not think it's a medicine in If for the brain, I believe that there are other medicinal questions for our system and brain capacity, that they have very good afternoons, it is for each one as it takes in itself for one

I don't want to be rude, but it's really hard to understand what you want to say in your posts. Maybe it's the language barrier, but to me it sounds you're just posting nonsense. Sorry.:icon_bigs

If I am nodding off and I am trying to make the end of a tourney for example or just committed to playing another couple hours I take a table spoon or two of Raw Honey IMO important it be raw/unfiltered honey. Wakes me up without the coffee jitters (though I love coffee), but this is more a way for me to focus and regain some clarity if I find myself slipping off my game. Also get up and stretch got to keep the blood flowing ~ Good luck

p.s. I do not drink alcohol when I play cause for me it makes me sleepy, and I have yet to be successful I may have 1 drink or a beer, but for me poker is not the time to catch a buzz, poker is the buzz :)
