Poker and drugs?

I always thought that you need to be at your sharpest when playing the game, but apparently not according to this: http://www.wsopjournal.com/2010/08/d...-performances/


Is this for real or are they making a bit of an error there by putting caffeine and energy drinks in the same bag as stronger stuff that you can't buy in the supermarket.

Re: Poker and drugs?

This has been discussed lots of times.

Drugs are bad and will not make you a better player.

I do this now. I only seem to want to play while stoned, and I don't think it affects my performance negatively.
