Wow that's some f*ed up stuff in here, if you need to take sedatives because otherwise you will freak out playing poker, you probably shouldn't be playing poker...

I agree 👍🏻

I know lot s of my friends smoking weed and they are really patient and good players when they doing this

i been smoking weed near 35 years i cant say it makes me play any different-as far as coke gave that up 21 years ago along with booze, both make you play differently -im sure booze affects your play never played while high on coke

Weed in moderation you will play fine.. There are pro stoners, nobody actually knows the percentage of concentration lost from smoking as it varies from person to person, for new smokers obviously, you will suck and should not

I never use drugs while I'm playing poker. Sometimes I drink alchohol , but no drugs. I really dont think drugs and poker mix in a good a way. But I have heard that some people use the drugs to play more hands, dont sleep , be more attentive.

Alcohol is a drug.

Playing poker sober is boring. I have more fun and focus better when high

Jastinmaster · Feb 23, 2016

Acehigh562 · Feb 23, 2016

i am sure some of it is performance enhancing, some is recreational, and some is some degen behavior

johnnygadget · Feb 23, 2016

If I've been high for several hours before playing then I'll usually play just as well as when sober, but if I start playing sober and then get high, I start playing a lot tighter and making stupid folds.

Jastinmaster · Feb 23, 2016

I think the effect of alcohol is very bad, at most the effect of caffeine

At first is alcohol a drug and I think it has a more negative influence then any weedor hash. Though it can influence your concentration but alcohol makes you less rational, I think.
But also everybody is different and has different outcomes

Marijuana in my humble opinion is the worse drug to use when playing poker, but it's also the least destructive long term. It just makes your brain mush and usually paranoia sets in as well. It will make you a rock at the table. You'll probably be afraid to bluff and call correctly because your apprehensions go up. It's known I believe that alcohol has the polar opposite effect compared to marijuana. Personally Marijuana smoking or under the influence of while playing just does not mix at all. Every other substance works well with poker I found. I'm not at all condoning the use of any drug. It's just interesting the way Marijuana has a particular bad mix with poker. I understand some might react to it differently, but it's hard to imagine that it helps their game in the short term, like alcohol does for many.

Quite the contrary, I find that cannabis helps keep me calm and in control.. Rather than jump to a conclusion, I may think it through further and make sense of the action in tough situations. Plus, I don't think being 'a rock at the table' is necessarily a bad thing

. As you said though, imho and ymmv!

if someone is addicted to drugs or to alcool use them as an execuse in everything he do even to poker they think they make them brave make them aggressive players its an illusion their dont play with strategy and anyway its more value to have a good condition of health

Easy win for the opponent..

johnnygadget · Mar 1, 2016

Any stimulant helps me play better. I'm generally more focused and aware of what's going on around the table, and this awareness helps me decide if it's a good time to bluff or play it slow or whatever, and I just seem to do a lot better and make better play decisions with stimulants.

Not a good combination for poker.
