Message: [QUOTE="Pokerpoet2, post: 5868679, member: 430261"] I learned from bitter experience, smoking does nothing for you on or off the tables. people who say it helps them concentrate are fooling themselves and trying to justify their habit. I smoked for over 40 years, 2 packs a day and when I stopped I was spending £16.00 a day for my habit, That's close to £6,000.00 a year, but it wasn't the money that stopped me, It was the massive Heart attack I suffered and had to have a Triple Heart By-Pass operation. Has my Game suffered since I quit? No! I get the same results as I did before I quit smoking. Has my Concentration diminished? No! I can still do the things I used to do, ie. work out the number of outs I might have and the pot odds of winning a hand etc, It is still there in my head, Quitting Smoking has not improved my health as that is shot to hell already, but it sure made my Bank Account healthier. When the fun Stops, STOP! [/QUOTE]
