yeah def this

Eating bananas every day of my life yo.

I also smoke cigs (I promise I'm quitting forever after new years but not bananas ldo) so this calms my nerves when I get deeper in a mtt. I'll smoke a cig every 15 minutes if I'm like final three tables and it sounds dumb but it helps my game.

but when I peel bananas i'd say it doesn't help or hurt my game online

but live is a different story. I play at two home cash games (1/2) and these are known as the smokers game. Everyone brings their own bananas and we peel the whole time. after a while everyone is just so laid back and the game becomes pretty tight. I do get in a zone live on bananas and just become a statue while playing. I grin a lot but i'd say it helps my game in the long run.

to prevent freaking out, just have positive thoughts and hopefully you run good so it will keep your mind off things

i'm not sure if it's possible to quit smoking cigs if you're not gonna quit bananas, i mean, nothing like a menthol after you just get done blazin, add in a coffee too, i can't drink coffee without a cig =[

Also, since i just had just consumed a banana I did not elaborate my thoughts on the subject on a significant profound level. Had I not been multitbling this wouldve been easier tow rite but w/e. I've been enjoying bananas regularly for about 8 years, and still am. As I've never really played long stretches without having had banana parties, I'm not the one to judge wether or how much +EV they are. All i can say is they make me think about every single hand three times, which is never a bad thing imo.

If you're uncomfortable with eating bananas in any way there will be a risk of major EV loss when freaking out, out prolly minor overall EV loss as well, as you will be thinking of all kinds of other stuff you really don't want to be focusing on at the tables.

will write more when it pops in to my head...

Conserta is a viable substitute... except that ****'ll keep you up for days.

Trust me.


Also, I have pretty sick ADHD and have a hard time concentrating while only plying 1-4 tables... so when I eat bananas or take aderaol/etc I can concentrate and thus dont' spew.

yea this is true, I started smoking cigs on the reg after weed obv, but imo its easy for me not to smoke weed for weeks but i smoke basically a pack a day now, so for once im going to take my new years resolution serious and stop smoking, been since march 05, need to stooooooooooooop

coffee and cigs ftw

[OkTime4PlanB]

yeah i smoke a pack a day too, i can go weeks without bananas, but i deft feel an urge and crave it when i don't have it....not to the point like cigs where i can't even function or live without a pack.

to those of you saying adderall = win? I'm sorry, maybe it's because I actually have adhd so i get no effect, but concerta? people take recreationally? OMG i remember taking that in school...i hated it, worst feeling ever, no idea how anyone takes adderall and concerta recreationally, pretty bad drugs imo. Much rather pop xanax, percocet, or vicodin, all 3 are farrrrrrrr better.

[p3rc4]

+1 for the daily 20-pack

Working hard on getting down to 5...

Also, i can go months without bananas, or any kind of fruit really, but not a day without them sticks...

[slicknastyAK]

and they're good for you!

Pack a day here, too.

I have bad ADHD, but haven't taken meds in a while. I just find when I take meds, I get more "calm", you could say and can actually pay attention when not >4 tabling. Like, I don't feel the need to surf all the forums and read random ****.

Prob +EV for my bottom line, I'd tend to think..

[OkTime4PlanB]

meh, i haven't taken my meds since grade school, i don't notice myself not being able to focus without them really. Plus they just put me in a bad ****ty mood.
