I guess it didn't get banned.

Anyway, using cocaine or speed would increase your mental alertness during marathon sessions. It's a performance enhancing drug, for poker, and I don't believe it should be allowed. It definitely gives somebody a mental edge.

I don't think you have ever played poker high on coke. Everyone but the player on coke has the edge, trust me on this.

Is it OK if I drink coffee? The caffeine keeps me awake.

In the interests of fairness, I should point out that I will likely miss a few hands now and then because I'm making trips to the bathroom.

I believe that drug testing should be instituted to not only clean up the game but to level the playing field. If i'm playing in a large field 3+day tournament, is it fair that I should be playing against players who are using speed and coke to stay alert? It's like using steroids in Football and those players should be banned.

What do people think?

I think that's the funniest thing I've read all day.

Maybe they should drug test chess players too.

I believe that IQ testing should be instituted to level the playing field. If I'm playing in a large field 3+day tournament, is it fair that I should be playing against players who are measurably smarter than I am. Perhaps alternating ball peen hammer blows to the head and shots of 151 could be used to even out the high IQ players.

So if doing coke is advantageous and should be banned for making you too alert. I think you should get more starting chips if you like to smoke weed because that makes you less alert. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
