Re: Poker and Drug Testing
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.

Everyone but the player on coke has the edge, trust me on this.

Re: Poker and Drug Testing
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? [/ QUOTE ] I think that's the funniest thing I've read all day. Maybe they should drug test chess players too. b

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. What do people think? [/ QUOTE ] FYP

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]
