g2cu, curious about your adderall assessment. i have always had trouble playing very long sessions and i was thinking about trying some adderall to see if it helped.

I don't play these stakes, in fact I play so much lower its irrelevant but I can say this: I smoked and did every drug you can name but three from 99-07 and quit this year in march. I have never been more focused in what I do, poker etc, then at anytime in my life. I look back over these years and wonder how did I ever get through undergrad and graduate school partying five nights a week and smoking 24/7. Its fun for a while and it seems like it all helps you but then the dark side appears and it all goes downhill. Burnout sets in and things fog up and eventually you are just habitually hung over and burned out. My only regret is not stopping sooner...

I set a daily hands played goal and never look at how much I'm, up/down until my session is over. If I feel I'm playing well, I'll play massively long sessions. If I feel like I'm playing poorly I stop instantly. I find going days without checking cashier/PT net won does wonders for me.

ok im gonna take a shot at this one from my viewpoint. it may seem cliched but i play a lot better in terms of having hte killer instinct when im drunk.

and i think "killer instinct" is (for lack of better term) what you are aiming for. you simply cant autopilot hu. you need to seek and destroy. you are jason bourne. you are the assaasin. my fav is jack ryan. seriously, if you gonna go after a nobody civil servant avoid ryan at all costs amirite.

well, anyway, and this proly helps you nada, for me i play so much better hu drunk and pissed off. but why? i dunno, but there is def a mental disconnect that occurs where i am able to focu a bit more and pick weaknesses.

so, my suggestion is to work thru the lethargy. make yourself focus. oh wow, that wont help. of course not. BC THERE IS NO EASY WAY. you gotta do it. it all comes back to nike. may sound cliche but its the best slogan ive heard in my life. im not talented by any stretch but, well, i will give it a shot. JUST FCKN DO IT!!!!!!
