I know a ton of players who swear by xanax when they play online poker and even some who use it to play live. Does it really help your game much? I hope to get some feedback from players who use it while playing poker. I have used adderall and find that it allows me to focus far more than xanax at any task, let alone poker, however I don't like the jittery affects it gives you especially durring comedown. Basically I just want to hear what is so good about xanax in a poker atmosphere both online and live.

Xanax are u ***** ****ting me lol

what kind of fktard would think xanax would any way improve their game? rofllll



why dont you ask one the tons of players you know that take it?

I use Xanax when I have insomnia.

In small doses, I could see the benefit, but mainly for live poker, especially if you get anxious/nervous easily.

As for online, probably not a great idea to take anti-anxiety/sedatives while sitting down online for many hours..... Most likely you'll wake up hours later busto in whatever you registered in (this is of course dependent on the dosage, your tolerance, the environment you play in, etc.)

xanax sucks. if you eat it and drink, you wont remember anything at all for long periods of time which could be good or bad depending on how much you normally lose.

if you snort it, it ****s you up.
i dont understand why people think drugs make them better at poker. adderall is just as bad for you, but whatever you want to do to make you "better".

i like drinking while i play because it passes time. also weed does the same IMO, doesnt make me play better, just makes me less bored while playing for 6 hours or more which in turn make me focus more.

you should read matusows book if you want insight into playing poker on drugs

I would probably say you would want to use propranolol in a modified release form like half inderal LA. The propranolol would calm you and help with concentration and focus.

Xanax would not help ur game it will just sedate u

the only people who'd say xanax helps them play poker are xanax addicts

or ya know, people with anxiety.

You dont need xanax to play poker. I was nervous when I first started too but it passes with time when you are winning and money becomes less and less important to you.

used it a couple times to get on a plane.
Can't see how it would help playing poker at all.
I tried playing games on my laptop and several times was in a 'zoned out' daze.

I do not think it could ever help you playing any form of poker. Most of the time it just makes you pass out within a couple of hours of taking it. Also you can never remember wtf you did the night before.

Also everytime one of gf cheated on me in the past, it normally started with so I was at this party and ate some handlebars aka zanax

it's the most painful thing to get off of if your body is physically addicted. Just an FYI

What if you have an anxiety disorder before you start playing poker?

weed is the only thing thats worth it long run imo. for poker, for life, for anything.

and just remember drugs affect your mind there's nothing you can do on drugs than you cant do sober, this includes weed.

you degenerate.
