None of that.
It allows you to block out everything else thats normally a distraction and your able to devote most of your mental resources that you have available to playing in the moment.
I think this is a very important distinction, because if you are a losing player you will not become a winning player all of a sudden taking adderall. Its not the limitless pill. As a matter of fact, i would be willing to bet that some losing players will even lose at a greater BB/100 on adderall because it will potentially cause you to play more hands, want to mix it up more etc.
However, if you are winning player dealing with issues of lack of motivation, depression, boredom in the game it will help you for sure. Atleast at first. Until eventually you have to stop taking it, because using an amphetime daily long-term turns out to be a pretty bad idea.
Then guess what? Youre going to have to learn to deal with the SAME problems you had before you touched the stuff, lack of motivation, depression and boredom, and now you're dealing with the sideffects of adderall and your back to square 1 only worse.
