Re: Marijuana and Heads Up Poker. (Serious Post)
Do any of you have any specific details or scientific facts to back up why being high affects ur game with a negative connotation?
I dont remember the last time I didnt play high. played a lot of heads up matches a few months ago various ranges, really got a feel for it and know exactly what you are talking about. I think u only notice it more in heads up, but it really affects ur game in mtts , sngs, etc too. Theres just less hands based on instinct and bluffs alone so u dont analyze quite as much. |

i doubt it has anything to do with your analytical abilities. but being stoned may affect how well you deal with emotional swings while you're playing.

Re: Marijuana and Heads Up Poker. (Serious Post)
as agamemnon said, you are running hot and the time will come when your killing spree ends.
but perhaps i am a stupid donkey and you got instinks like nobody else; to prove that you have to play 500 heads up matches AT LEAST. then we will see if you are the incredible marijuana-pokergod - or not. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

Re: Marijuana and Heads Up Poker. (Serious Post)
This is a pointless discussion in my opinion. Weed affects everyone and their poker game in different ways depending on a lot of factors such as personality and most important tolerance. As a daily smoker I can hardly imagine not playing high and I have noticed times where I didn't feel like I would be capable of making a certain read or decision without being high, but other times I feel like I'm playing really passively due to the weed. If I didn't smoke for a month and then got high I would probably be unable to focus as well.
If you're comfortable and confident at the limit, have a sufficient bankroll, and smoke marijuana semi-frequently I personally believe that the benefits outweigh the negatives. Honestly though, I don't see myself making many super reads with weed.. give me some coke or adderall and we'll talk [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] |
