Default Re: Coping with ADD

I have ADD, I also love poker. Before I got treatment for ADD my results were all over the place. I could go long streaks playing flawless poker and then my emotions would slip and I'd play awful for an extended period of time. I don't think ADD helps anyone play to be honest. You are to apt to make careless mistakes, esp if you have lost the value of money.

Now that I take adderal, I'm literally an unstopable force playing and I can play for just about 24 hours in a day.

To be honest though, going on adderall was the best thing that ever happened to me. The changes it has made in my life are insane. From my level of organization, to my temper, to the fact that is has gotten me unhooked from my addiction to caffine. If you have ADD adderall is an amazing thing. I'm forever greatful for my friend Kent convincing me I had it. For the longest time I didn't believe ADD existed.
