Marijuana and Heads Up Poker. (Serious Post)

[Ikonoclast]

Okay. I know a lot of you may think this is completly ludicrous, but I have played the majority of my heads up games high. The reason why is this -- You know that gut feeling you get when you sense someone is bluffing? or when it suddenly hits you what hand or range of hands you think they have, or whether your hand is good? I feel for me marijuana increases the ability for me to sense these things a lot easier. I have played a lot of heads up on this one site, I started at 200$, and within 4 days i'm at 1,017, and ive been playing 5$ 10$ 20$ 30$ 50$ and 100$ HU. I am 16-0 on the 100$, and im 2/2 bluffing people out for about 400 more chips when they had about 3/4 of their stack in bluffing because I just sensed they had no hand. I am not trying to brag about this at all, I am just interested to hear if anyone else has any experience playing heads up while you are high. I play poker normally, but sometimes I tilt, but I seem to tilt a lot less often when high also. Just curious to know if anyone has experienced anything like this. Thanks.

From my experience there is a fine line between being high and in the zone playing perfect poker and being stoned and stupid.When I'm high sometimes i can't tell how its efecting my play so I try not to play high.

I have lots of experience playing heads up while high. It doesn't help. You're deluding yourself if you think it does.

I'd say about 90-95% of the time, I play worse. Some of the time, it will be my action and I'll have no idea how I got to that point in the hand. I get passive and make dumb calls. Every once in a while though, that 5% of the time, I will be in the zone and play incredible perfect poker.

I could just be running hot though. Who knows?

OP, you're just running hot.
