Deep in a Borgata 10k either in January or last Fall(Day 3 iirc) :

I have my usual 20 bb's, when an old dude raises in EMP, I look down at AK and obv shove. Young asian dealer announces "ARRRRRINNNN" really loud and really Engrishy. I do one of my really big smiles trying to hold in my laughter since, you know, I am risking my tournament life and some old dude is giving me the stare down. Youngish dude across the table from me goes something like "Heh, she just said arrrin" and I completely lose it, old dude tanks for some more and eventually calls with AQ, Q on river.

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.

apples and oranges. you cant compare downers like xanax to adderall

in amsterdam masters recently i came back from dinner break with like 11bbs at 75/150 so id obv decided to consume dutch bananas.

something like the 2nd hand back, utg limped super super nit makes it 900, button calls with like 14k effective, hu to flop J73. goes bet 3k, make it 6k, instashove instacall pfr snap turns over AA like who wouldnt have guessed. button has JJ. pfr was shocked to be behind even tho he had the nittiest image ever and just randomly overbet cos he had the AA. river A and the super nit starts fistpumping like crazy before raising two triumphant clenched fists above his head, and looking to the heavens. it was too much and i couldnt stop giggling for next couple of hands because it was so awesome.

hah that's a pretty good one...


My best is playing the 25/50/100 PLO game this summer at the Rio and I think I was having a breakeven session or maybe losing a bit when the two empty seats at the table get picked up by Clonie Gowen and Layne Flack, respectively. Clearly, this was good news; however, instead of putting on my headphones and zoning I just started to laugh like an idiot. It was absurd; I've never laughed this hard without another person also laughing next to me in my entire life I don't think.. Fwiw, Flack obviously wins a 60k pot off me by hitting a 3-outter, slams the cards down on the table and calls me an a**hole while scooping.. I wasn't laughing then..

The biggest thing for me was the antisocial behavior. That took a while to fester and surface, but everyone I know who smoked it longterm eventualy developed this problem.

I have experienced this as well, except that after i became a weekly/daily consumer I learned that in order to consume you need to learn how to handle everyday life while being under influence. Most of my other banana-eating friends have achieved this ability as well, so I figure it's just a matter of practice.

Health issues are another story of course. Some time after I quit my mom died of lung cancer (cigs) and I watched her die right in front of me and let me tell you it wasn't pretty.

I'm sad to hear. The health aspect is a major setback for bananas. This is the most significant reason to stop/not start eating bananas raw IMO. Luckily there are ways to cook bananas so that they become a lot healthier...

But yeah, when smoking potwhile playing poker I saw some benefits and also some disadvantages. I used to have some pool hustling buddies who were big stoners and pot seems to help more with that game in terms of nerves and concentration. For me, pot made me make at leas tone huge spewy play a niht at poker so quitting was +EV. I can definitely believe how some oeple miht benefit, however, but the stuff is pretty addictive and my health/sanity is worth more than money.

IMHO

It's not very addicitve. I have at least one period of three months or more per year where I don't touch bananas. These are usually when I feel tired with concentration difficulties after eating too much bananas for a while. Also, to avoid the psychological addition, get other hobbies and maintain friends.

on the adderall topic, i think a vast majority of ppl who are prescribed medication for ADD DONT have it, im not denying its a serious illness if u do have it, and there are a very small percentage of ppl in whom it is real

but almost all the ppl who are like "oh yea i was bored in school and im slightly above average intelligence"...guess WAT...u dont have any form of ADD....lol...and taking these drugs when theyre not prescribed to u or SHOULDNT be prescribed to u...is just a bad idea

and this is drawing from my experience of having SEVERAL of my friends tell me "oh u should get adderall, i have it and its great" when ive known them and they definitely dont NEED to take it, they just take it to get ahead, get more done, curb appetite, or whatever...the problem with this is amphetamines just end up burning u out

it does synergize great w/ bananas though

I mean, I guess if you have nothing else to take... concerta is horrible for me, idk how anyone likes it...maybe it's just me though. I'd rather be taking percs vikes or zans any day over adderall or concerta, hell i remember i had bottles of concerta and couldn't even sell them in hs besides when kids needed it for sats.

I also have a great deal of hate for those meds, I'm pretty straight edge when it comes to drugs besides bananas, i think bananas is the cure of the world put here by God himself. All jokes aside though, I think pharmeucticals are terrible, and if my kid ever had adhd/add or w/e, i wouldn't even think of putting him on any of that shyt. I think the only reason i was prescribed that stuff was because I was a little punk rebel in class, and didn't give a shyt about authority or my grades. Then i took that concerta stuff, and i would stare at the teacher for hours, even during recess and lunch times, and i never really felt like talking, was the total opposite of who i really was.


Edit: I also probably have adhd, very likely since i was prescribed at such a young age unlike most of you. Also, the teacher who insisted something was wrong with me, dropped dead.

[THAY3R]

concerta != adderall

also, time release >>> non time release
