Is it just me? Smoking weed improving live play? |

Raise the BS flag, have a little laugh, criticize, or whatever, but I swear that by taking 3 or 4 hits prior to, and during (taking a break & going to the car, of course) play greatly improves awareness, & the accuracy at which hands you are putting your opponents on, is astounding. I only say this from experience in live casino play, not online play.
I'm not talking about getting so totally lit up that you can barely count your players checks, just a somewhat mild buzz.
I don't intend this to turn into some sort of anti drug crusade or anything of the sort, just an informative thread with other people's input, especially anyone else that experiences this.
Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game? Be it by sharing experiences or simply asking for help, participation in a forum helps you focus and keep 'on topic' which will help you improve your game. You can learn from other players feedback and from their experiences. Why the THP poker forums? We offer one of the best managed texas holdem poker forums available, and the community within is far more friendly than those typicaly found on other sites. We've made a 'lurkers edition' of the poker forum available here on Holdem Poker Online, but we encourage all visitors to register and join in on the conversations on TexasHoldem-Poker.com

I haven't found that to be true, rather the opposite. In my experience pot smoking poker players tilt like crazy, also they'll bite any tell you throw them, plus you can watch them trying to think, plus if while thinking they decide to do anything naughty like bluff or slowplay a good hand they start getting that Snidely Whiplash (cartoon villain) look or else can't look at you... just my experience, YMMV.
I don't have anything against weed or smokers. Glad it works for you. Maybe your opponents don't have much experience with smokers LOL.

I think it depends on the person.
I find one or two pints of lager are just enough to improve my pool play just because they help relax me, which stops me second guessing my angles and overcompensating. But if I drink too much I lose coordination and it goes down hill so it’s a balance.

I have to agree. A few tokes seems to mellow you down a bit and open the thinking process. Too much and your the kind of stoner player that Iron Butt runs into,,,lol.

lolol,,,very good point. I wanted to add I never tried it at live casino games. Only at the small personal/friendly games or before I play online.

I smoke before pretty much every time I play. I find that I can control my temper ALOT more so in turn I tilt far less / never. My patience is also alot better in live games. I don't find myself getting bored as quickly when I'm not high. And if there is no grass around then I make sure and have a couple pops before a live game to take the edge off and relax a bit.

It alll depends on the person I suppose. I have friends who are literally high from the time they wake up til the time they go to bed. They work full time jobs and function as well as anybody else would through the course of a day.
Then I have other friends who are pretty much useless after a few puffs.
Just this past Friday I was playing at a house I've never been to before. There were 8 of us and after the first sit n go, 5 of them went out to the dock to get high. One of the guys that doesn't smoke just laughed and said to me, "I love when they go smoke, watch how fast they piss away their chips when they get back." He was dead on, it was great :D

I have yet to see someone smoking weed getting better at anything. Maybe except talking, but the way people smoking weed talk I don't see that as getting better but more as an unfortunate sideeffect. Seriously. I would believe there exist Xerophiles (sorry people, I've always wanted to use that word) who it is more meaningful to communicate with than high people.
So the next time you fire one up, remember:
a.) Buy all the food you suddenly crave before you actually fired it up.
b.) Bring company that will communicate on your level, preferably other smokers or some sort of vegetable.
c.) If you get ideas of hearing better, seeing better, having better coordination or you feel smarter, immediately record your ideas and send them to Reader's Digest, you'll make a bundle and make your grandma proud.
d.) Illusions of balance while high are best tested at great heights. This is called natural selection.

Agreed.
I smoke all the time when I play and whether it improves my play or not is unknown. One thing I can gurantee is that I have a better time playing while high.
tame_deuces, a couple questions regarding your post:
1) Have you ever smoked pot? I don't mean trying, I mean smoking IE. at least a dozen times.
2) Are you basing your statements on stereo-types or personal experiences?
3) Would you agree that there are different types of "stoners"? By that I mean, your typical burnout who has no ambition in life but to get as high as possible as often as possible or the "stoner" who has a college/university degree, a family, a good job.
Posted Thu Oct 27, 2005 9:48 pm GMT by supafrey
hrms.. I think I'm the second type, but I still have most of the qualities tame brought up. that's the fun part. =)
Posted Thu Oct 27, 2005 11:01 pm GMT by JohnnyCache
I think a lot of sterotypes about pot come from the fact that in america, only a certain flavor of person will actually cop to smoking pot. If you knew everone that smoked up smoked up, you might think, "Wow...pot has no effect at all on much of anything"
It's certainly no more dangerous then drinking.
I doubt standing on the toilet helps a persons poker game any more then drinking, though

1. I haven't.
2. Definitively personal experiences.
3. Yes I agree. In fact, there is really no good reason pot should be outlawed when I can drink alcohol whenever I want too. It is a pretty innocent drug.
But the fact of the matter is just that high people is like a a grownup guy with a teddy in his bed or guy with glasses in a sauna.
Even if he is your friend, you just have to make fun of him.

I don't smoke pot simply because from my personal experience, people who get into it alot lose ambition and do worse in school. I simply don't want to get started becuse I have this gut feeling it will be bad. I do drink, probably once every two weekends, but I can keep that under control easily. Partying is just a part of high school.

Good for you Ninja, but don't let that alcohol become a demon to you later in life. Keep it under control for your own good.
I agree if you over indulge in weed it can make you lazy and ignorant. Anything in excess is bad for people. Moderation is the key to fun without abusing it. Alcohol, weed and poker should all be done in moderation.

Johnny i didnt say its drunk, its being an alcoholic :s by the stupid standards of people who think they are all that , but in reality aint shit
just to make it clear i dont care what people do take or consume
i just hate it when drunks say weed it so bad and people who smoke are potheads, but they dont see the fact that more than 60% of all cases in ER are due to alcohol.
to them one joint a week or one a day, or 20 a day is same bad thing, but being drunk is allright, i know u know better 
Posted Sun Oct 30, 2005 2:17 pm GMT by JohnnyCache
one beer a day isn't an alchoholic either. Alchoholism is entered when you have an addictive pathology combined with medical or social damage to quality of life.
Drinking one beer a day is actually probably good for you.

i don't like to play poker when i'm baked. sometimes i have though and i usually finish pretty high (lol), but that's cus i play with the people i smoke with. i don't think it improves your game.
also, i wanna know the difference between canadian and american potheads, supafrey. swedish potheads is pretty much like american potheads, though we use tobacco when we smoke and i think swedes smoke more hash than weed.

Since I have absolutely nothing better to do, I'll revive this thread from the dead.
The positive recipe to absolute patience and giving away absolutely zero tells is as follows.
Take exactly 1 (one) diazepam (Valium) 1 hour before play.
Pack exactly 1 (one) bowl of the best weed available.
Drink exactly 1 (one) beer, preferably Corona, while simultaneously smoking the bowl, while driving to the casino (steer the car with your knees while you drink and blaze at the same time)
Drink exactly 2 (two) cups of coffee, with extra sugar, immediately prior to playing.
Drink exactly 1 (one) bottle of water, immediately upon getting seated at the table.
Works especially well in tournaments and gives extreme patience while staying extremely alert, and the most blankest, dead look to anyone that tries to study you.
YMMV

Sorry, but I give you a -1 for that remark.
Spent 2 and a half days in jail for that, last year. Over a day in Clark County Detention Center, then 1 day in City Jail. My job, Binion's at the time, had absolutely no idea I was a no-call no-show. 
NV State HW Patrol pulled me over, smelled the weed in the car, and I gave it right up. My bowl, and literally like $2 worth of weed in it. As copperative can be. They gave me field sobriety tests (in the middle of the night on the highway), which I passed. Passed a breathylyzer, which they wouldnt even give me the results (not even on my arrest report). So they decided to impound the car, while they place me under arrest, bring me to the station to draw blood to see if I was under the unflence. Drew blood, suspended my license for 90 days, and now I have to pay for SR-22 insurance every single month fopr 3 years. And that's just DMV. Criminal court has been postponed for over a year now, next (supposed) date is July 10.

Well, any belief that pot in any way makes you more aware or able to think more accurately is def. something we can ascribe to urban legend.
It will make you less able to remember stuff over short term, give you less stable emotions, interfer with the ability to learn, will make you less precise and will definitely not in any way make you more aware. So its a pretty bad poker drug.
Not that any of these effects are extreme in any way, as far as I'm concerned its an innocent drug when used in moderation. It does however partially inhibit the brain functions we'd usually associate with a good poker player.
That you'd somehow feel more comfortable playing under intoxication is probably not related to its effect on the more 'mechanical effects', but probably rather how you view being under the effect of the drug, this can def. have a positive effect in itself though (for instance by feeling more secure or relaxed).

It is the relaxation effect that gives you the ability to feel an edge when playing high. Most of us already know what to do when the right cards come along...we just like the weed to make us patient enough to wait for them and keep us from battling for a pot with Top pair and middle kicker hands...
Personally I like places where you can smoke (cigs or cigars) as you play. It helps intensify the buzz by smoking on a good ole Cuban or any quality cigar while you play.

This bs is the main problem I have with amateur psychologists - trying to use generalizations based on mediocre science across an entire range of cases. You are using language that entirely rules out the possibility of exceptions (something highly unlikely with a psychotropicsp? drug) as well as using several key logical fallacies that make contradiction of your point impossible - this is most clearly evidenced with...

^ This is the fallacy of poisoning the well.. wherein any disagreement on my part could be instantly disregarded with the fact that I'm either silly, listening to simple urban legend, or misguided. This is wrong.
One of pot's major side effects is relaxation of both body and mind.. If a person suffers from shakes, mental jitters or even some types of poker tilt, pot could be beneficial. This is the case with me. Doesn't this refute your all/nothing hypothesis entirely? Or is it all in my head? *rolls eyes*

why is it that we humans have such a strong need to defend our actions
to a point where many blind themselves
i mean getting pissed drunk is bad, smoking is bad, weed has bad side effects also and the argument weather is worse than alcohol is stupid yet it always pops up.
i know supa is a healthy pot smokes as u can be with his volcano
those of us who smoke the usual way do a lot of damage to our lungs
and anyone who smoked weed for longer period and often and says it has no "bad" side effects is just blind its simple as that.
like with all things if u dont overdo it and smoke all day
yes it will help with a lot of things
but it just baffles me when so many kids specially in poker world
want to justify being high all day
sorry to rant it just seems silly at times, and what bothers me most is pot smokers say alcohol is worse, and alcoholics say pot is bad while none of them wants to admit what they are doing is "bad" also
