WARNING!! before u read this, i found it VERY boring after i wrote it.. VERY boring while i wrote it, and i didnt even read over it after i wrote it in fear of literally dieing from the bordem.. i thought this would be a kina fun experiement, but it really wasnt. And i never got around to smoking the pot, which was more then likely going to be the cooler half of the experiment.. anyway im going to post it anyway.. and maybe some night get around to doing the other half of the experiment.

Tonight i have decided to do a scientific expeirament for the good of poker.
My objective is to find out the differences in my poker game on different common drugs.
Drug A is caffeine, Drug B is Marijuana.
Music will also be applied to the mix of things, while on my caffeine buzz, i will only be listening to techo
consisting mainly of Armin, Infected Mushroom, and Daftpunk.
While stoned i will only be listening to recordings of sean nolan.. lol jk i will be listening to
Citizen Cope, The Fugees, Aerosmith, a tiny bit of Jack Johnson, and Steve Miller Band.

For a little background on myself, i dont really ever smoke pot, i used to, but i had a horrible experience
and havent taken another shot at it since then. I dont ever really drink soda, if i normall drink something
that has caffeine in it, its a monster energy drink, and thats maybe once or twice a month.

The game plan is to play 4 tables of 6max, nl25 (moving down for saftey). Im going to just kinda play
by feel, not so much trying to hard to stick to one style, hopefully letting everything just take its course.
Im going to play as many hands as i can, then graph them, and take notes along the way..

Im going to start withe caffeine first because its easy to tell when it has run its course.
Some interesting facts i found on wikipedia about the effects on memory and learning.

Effects on memory and learning
An array of studies found that caffeine could induce certain changes in memory and learning. In one study, caffeine
was added to rat neurons in vitro. The dendritic spines (a part of the brain cell used in forming
connections between neurons) taken from the hippocampus (a part of the brain associated with
memory), grew by 33% and new spines formed. After an hour or two, however, these cells returned
to their original shape.[69]
Another study showed that subjects — after receiving 100 milligrams of caffeine — had increased
activity in brain regions located in the frontal lobe, where a part of the working memory network is
located, and the anterior cingulum, a part of the brain that controls attention. The caffeinated subjects
also performed better on the memory tasks.[70]
However, a different study showed that caffeine could impair short term memory and increase the
likelihood of the tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon. The study allowed the researchers to suggest that
caffeine could aid short-term memory when the information to be recalled is related to the current
train of thought, but also to hypothesize that caffeine hinders short-term memory when the train of
thought is unrelated.[71] In essence, focused thought coupled with caffeine consumption increases
mental performance.

Anyway, i will be injesting the caffeine by snorting 400MG of pure caffeine, then drinking a monster
that has about 160mg of caffeine in it. The LD50 for caffeine is 150 to 200mg per kilo of bodymas.
I do weigh over 4 kilos so ill be fine but it looks like i will be experiencing Caffeiene intoxiaction
which may include restlessness, nervousness, excitement, insomnia, flushing of the face, increased
urination, gastrointestinal disturbance, muscle twitching, a rambling flow of thought and speech,
irritability, irregular or rapid heart beat, and psychomotor agitation.
Im on a totally empty stomach so
the gastrointestinal distrubance is prolly gonna suck balls... anyway here we go!
Oh btw i may decide to space this out over 2 nights, but im going to try and do it all tonight.

SESSION NOTES:
1:25ish - i injested the caffeine
1:55 - caffeine has deff kicked in, tables r up.
so far just kinda feelings i would expect, very very anxious for the tables to start up.
and just constantly wanting shit to go faster.. kinda feel heavy chested.. little hard to breathe..
2:01 - fuck PAhud for failing on me now..
2:07 - so far pretty card dead, playing 16/12,, 75 hands in, down 1.5 buyins.
2:13 - pee break
2:17 - so far besides playing a little scatter brained ive just been getting coolered alot lol...
but im just gonna keep on track here and see where it goes.. im down almost 2 buyins now
reaching the 125 hand mark.
2:25 - time is going by very very slowly, seems like ive been playing for a very long time..
2:27 - made a buyin back with top set, interesting thing happened, i doubled through the guy
then he ran, kinda like a donate and run...
2:29 - as far as side effects from the caffeine, my face is very flushed, my vision seems jerky,
im constantly distracted by a bumb on my ear lobe, and my stomach hurts like shit. but my check
raising skills are sitll 100% intact. im actually contemplating sitting out, posting my blinds OOP
and check raising preflop, just as a sort of uber image builder...
2:34 - accidently 4bet WAY 2 much with AA, deff result of the caffeine.
2:38 - doomer is interupting my science with his retard car talk.
2:42 - havent really made very many notes, normally i note almost every player at a table, havent
really been able to make any sick calls r anything either.. cant really focus enough.
2:47 - pee break, at 330h now.
2:50 - ive realized that poker is really fuckin boring when u dont really care about the money.
2:53 - im thinkin about stopping at 500 hands, and doing the rest tomorrow or maybe not at all..
2:55 - most of my tables broke up, i was up a buyin but now im down a little bit because sum nub floped
middle set vs my tptk. basically down like 10$ ish, at around 400 hands, that seem to have taken WAY
2 long.. and the caffeine has wore off and i dont really feel like pulling up more tables..

SUMMARY:
well in summary, i cant really remember anything in specific about the session, i was going to graph the
hands, but it was just varience, nothing really special happeend, i just playd poker like i had no short
term memory for about an hour.. i was hoping for something a little more cool to come out of all of this.

I dont really think im gonna even try out smoking, i think itd just be a waste of good pot lol..
I duno, if anyone actually liked reading this and found it at all interesting i might try it out, but
overall i think it was pretty fuckin boring and unseless..

so today was kinda fun, we went out to this river thats our fav swimming spot, its pretty unknown so theres like never anyone out there... anyway we show up and theres 2 chicks tanning nude but 1 was fat, but the other one had really nice boobs. Unfortuatly i wasnt the first one to see um so i missed out, but they put some clothes on and one of my friends asked if they wanted to smoke a joint with us, so we smoked out up on this huge rock we jump off of.
That shit was pretty cool, then we started jumping off the rock and the 2 random girls decided they would jump off it 2, the hot one didnt have a bathing suit just the good old victoria secret mismatched top and bottoms, so that was hella sick. so we all jumped off this cliff then we talked um into going and exploring this cave with us and going to another cliff spot about a mile up the river.
We get up the river and chill out and theres a 35foot cliff that we like to jump off, im not good at doing flips or anything but my friends were doing some sick arched backflips. anyway i swam over to the cliff and climbed up it with my shoes on. Then when i was sitting on top i decided i wanted to take um off cuz they were really heavy cuz they were soaked in water.. so i threw um down 2 everyone else, and one of my buddys just throws my right shoe down river a bit.. no one really thinks anything about it, so i chill out and catch my breath, jump off this thing, go back to get my shoes on cuz we were heading back.. and my fucking shoe was gone.. all the rocks were hot as fuck and i had 1 missing right shoe.. i had to hike back 1mile of river stream rocks with no fucking shoe and my foot was blistered and bruised and my pair of fucking 65dollar DCs were worthless... but i made it outa there, and that chick was hot and at one point her bra popped off.. so overall, it was an ok day.. kinda boring but i felt like bloggin it..

ok so i went out with some friends tonight, one of my old co-workers bought a hotel suite beach side so we could all drink and have a blast... so im still sober, people r starting to get drunk, i decide to show them kings cup and grab 2 diff beers and the bottle of jegger and every time i was gonna drin k i would drink from all 3. So we playd like 4 more games, and we decided after the last game we were all gonna go run into the ocean at full speed and go as far as we can. so it was the last game, 4 of us went out, we got close to beach side and got into a huge rubmble and everyone started fighting. So i called out a few lines from the 300 and we all charged into the ocean. So after a few 100 lines from the 300 and screaming my head off and fighting waste deep in 35degree water, we headed back to the hotel room.
so as soon as we start walkin up the ramp i see a cop, and the my friend JUMPS out from no where and is like "AAJJJJJ!" in spanish, and the cop is just like omg wtf zomg so owned ur is drunk. so the cop starts asking for our info and we all just give him fake info, i missspealed my last name by 2 letters, steinbacher turned into "steinboker" and i was goldedn, and i said my DOB was like 1 year off.. so basically after the cop got my info (i was the last guy) and hes like " so basicall you all gave me fake DOB's and i should be wrighting you 486 dollar tickets.. and im thinking in my head "ive already got an MIP (minor in posession) and it was only 300. so anyway he kinda let us off and started walking the wrong wy, so we all charged up to our room. Last time i was at the beach i got a 300 dollar ticket at 2am from the cops for being drunk.. so this is pretty good.

anyway so we got off, cop juked left, we ran right and made it back to the room... i totally was swimming in like 36degree water and it was sick, i was totally like leonitus from the 300 but without the sick killing skillz, but i wrestled down like it was nothing, and i side beted on the kings cup so someone owes me breakfast.. and i would held to my 5 beer rule but everyone basically begged me to break it so i did.

So tonight i won my first mtt (my first mtt final table 2), i came into the final table like 2nd lowest chip stack, and ran totally card dead for a long time. After that i was just letting this super aggro guy to my left do some of the knockin out and then i chipped up through him when it was 4 handed, and took down the table from there.

when we got HU i had 4:1 chip lead on the guy and was just shoving literally every hand, he ended up calling with some Ahigh and i had T2, so he doubled up and i eventually had 2:1 chip stack, but after showing down the T2 he was pretty lose and jammed on my KK.
