I'm surprised nobody has shared our numerous Australia stories, including :

- "How's your M, Dan?"
- Sharing elevator with Kristy Gazes
- Waiting for elevator for 15 minutes before realizing nobody pressed the button

Or standing in the elevator totally blazed desperately trying not to laugh but doing it anyway and severely creeping out the women in there with us.

I enjoy bananas recreationaly but never play on them. I've kind of been easing off them lately as I've gotten more into working out again, but they are still my go to method for dealing with my insomnia.

You lucky SOB! I feel great taking these but I cant find any anywhere. Although I've never tried to get them from a doctor

This.

Started living with a new roommate in August who has a volcano so my banana consumption has increased a lot. I rarely play while on bananas and anyone who doesn't already have bananas on a regular or semi-regular basis definitely should not try playing on them.

A big +1 on the insomnia.

this is basically the most accomplished group of stoners ill ever have the opportunity to ask, so.. whats the story longterm, do u all feel like this will have no influence, for example i def feel like my memory is way worse than it was pre buddas.

Also, would u all being going out to on banana breaks at the wsop main ft?

My worst while playing on dem naners had to be one time some guy tried to resteal on me with 74o. My AK actually held, and I was laughing so hard that I timed out on my aces the next hand.

Bananas help me with live home games. Haven't played live in a casino, but in home games, it def helps.

Btw, I'm working on finding the link. I have a hardcopy version of the study, and if I can't find it on the intertrons, I'll just scan it.

So let me know if there is interest.

I have a photographic memory and banana's have never really messed with it as far as I can tell. ate them daily and I can still run a few k's if I have to. ( cause I miss the friggen bus alot when going to work)

after a few years of constant use, you stop noticing any huge difference between smoking/not smoking and can function normally with little to no effort.

Edit: I would not play the main event if I could not guarantee banana's for my play. I would be -ev to the extreme to even think about playing cards w/o bananas.

another +1 on the insomnia... and playing while binging bananas isn't so much a concious decision to play blazed but rather a consequence of being blazed and having nothing worthwhile to do..

I usually have a cup of espresso to my first banana of the day, to keep me from dozing too much. Back up in the northern eurozone we don't eat much raw bananas, as most banana products here are of the compressed pollen kind. I must admit that I like this form of bananas a lot more, due to the stronger taste, though it does make you more sleepy than raw bananas, which is why I really need to combine it with caffeine.

I've had streaks of both exceptionally poor memory, social anxiety/phobia and devestating concentration issues, but I conquered them all through 1-3 month breaks and cognitive therapy. I was offered the usual prozacaments by my therapist, but after a couple of months when I got my memory/concentration back I immidiately ditched the pills for organic foods, as I'm pretty straight-edge when it comes to chemicals/pharmaceuticals.

Haven't looked back since...

LDO



Edit: Count another plus one for insomnia cured, tho I never really had that problem (rather the opposite, lol)...

It was prob closer to 35.. but who's counting?

I've been on ADHD meds all my childhood, so it takes a good bit to hit me.

Haven't been perscribed/ taken any on a reg. basis in 3-4 years, though.

I am a big fella (5'11'' 250+) so I felt I could handle it.


I was zombied out of my mind. Never again.

my mother always warned me eating too many bananas causes constipation.

so i never eat more than one a day.

i usually stick with liquids:
starting with 2 or 3 cups of tea,
then 2 cups of coffee,
then some kinds of sirop with soda.

diversevication (sp?) is the key i think.

strong drugs can cause overconcentration, and you need to constantly keep using them, to keep the same level of mental alertness.

the less you need the better.

i got my bananas all ready for turkey day, cannot wait till this feast starts.

FYP.

I agree on the overconcentration part, and that juiy fruits fk u up in the long term, as you eventuallt can't function without them. I've never touched other fruits than bananas, and I never will.

Even though eating bananas bring up my A+ game, and therefore is more EV than not eating bananas, I can't imagine that my non-banana game would be any better had I never touched bananas at all...

Then again I might just be another banana degen

Edit: Dam, out of bananas. Better go pick some...

I am working today due to lack of holiday :-(

Sadly it keeps me far far away from any banana's, other than breakfast. Never good to show up in the office w/fruit on your breath.

Especially since it pays me more than poker as I'm a micro limit donk.

When I was working full time (looong time ago...) I had banana split for breakfast, then I put a nice set of three golden bananas in special box of mine, one for the pre-lunch break, one for the lunch break and another one for the post-lunch break. Can't believe I held that job for three months. Would've been a lot less without bananas...

Lol- sounds about like what I do. Been here 3 years now making way less than I should ( srsly salary sux!). if I didn't like them volcanic i'd have them at lunch aswell. At least I get to read 2p2 from work though.

working mornings and being up at 6:30 am really destroys my motivation to grind in the evenings, so I end up playing way above my roll. the second I can afford to play games big enough to make myself more than 35kCAD a year I'm out of here lol no matter how many endless hours i have to grind to accomplish it.

being with someone who thinks it's fine to eat a billion banana's a month, but is of the opinion that >$10 deposit at a pokersite at one time is degen/gambling has NOT helped my roll at all, especially since I had to cash it out and use it for my moving expenses. Friggen women. However I can say I havnt' cooked for myself or done my own laundry in a year. WOrth it? dunno. Maybe.
