hi!

Even if they will help for sure to focus it's not very good to use amphetamine/cocaine for long times.

btw I fucking wanna do co-co-cocaine!!!

what percentage of poker players do cocaine i wonder?

use the power of the mind instead

speed will help lol...... obv

pepsi works..

have a friend that plays insane seshes on it
seems to think it helps a ton

adderal and other like drugs affect memory in certain ways. I read it in a science book, you should do some more research on that.

i think developing focus the natural way is +EV in many ways
like regular exercise for increased energy, as well as developing your focus by sheer will,and exercising brain power

multiple reliable sources advocate it for poker

but prob not a good life decision

wouldnt this be helpful for live tournaments and stuff

people who use drugs are looking for an easy way to accomplish things so forget about that whole exercise thing.

damn i sound like a D.A.R.E. officer in that last post! not my intention

this.


imo, if it isn't broke, don't fix it.

adderall helps immensley for playing live poker

also if you're playing with gangsters or jap millionnaires that insist you drink with them while you play, if you take the adderall before hand you won't really feel the drunkness and it won't effect your judgement

if you're tired it will help you play a long time and keep focus, but you will still know you're tired, you just won't really feel it

it makes you feel extra powerful and confident (depends on people though)

it makes you scared of nothing in poker and all those marginal spots where you're not sure if you should stab at it or not become pretty clear on what you should do and you just do it not scared of the result (can help nits bluff)

i've taken it a bit and i feel like i'm the same in cash games with or without it (because i'm numb already) but if i come back drunk as fuck and want to play poker obviously the best move is not to play, but if i have to play taking an adderall before hand to stop me from doing stupid shit is the second best move. also sometimes when i was tired as fuck and the game was really juicy plus i had a big stack taking adderall would be a big help.

but in tournaments (live) where patience and picking exact spots is extremely crucial the focus you gain from adderall helps a lot...but adderall really makes you not give a shit so sometimes the added boldness can leave you doing +EV gambles that are actually -EV because playing more of small ball would lead to a better result. both posibilities depend on the person though.

if you play online it can really help or really hurt your game, depends on the person though

tolerance builds up very fast and it can be addictive

your girlfriend won't like it if you take it often because it kills your sex drive and makes it hard to get boners (but nothing as bad as whiskey dick)

adderall will give you bad breath and a bad body odor that you won't be able to get rid of even if brush your teeth or shower after a while

if you've been up a long time on adderall even though you dont realize how weak your body is it really is weak. you will become clumsy and have a hard time speaking physically...usually speaking much more quietly than usual.

if you're wide awake and on adderall you will slurr your speech and perhaps spit a little bit as you speak and perhaps a small amount of foam will build up on and around your mouth if you're not careful

even after the effects of adderall have long worn off you will have alot of trouble sleeping for a while, and you will wake up alot after an hour or two every time. the next day you will wake up feeling fresh but then halfway through the day the fatigue will probably set in again and you'll waste a long time sleeping.

adderall will totally kill your appetite and even if you really try to force yourself to eat you will notice you're eating and chewing very slowly and not finish your food

adderall is very very unhealthy especially if you take if often. if you use it here and there to benefit yourself then it's good (as i do)...

adderall is not dangerous unless you take it a lot and get addicted, but the extent of those effects i am unaware of

adderall is not the road you want to go down on because you will start telling yourselves lies in order to take it and justify it in situations where theres really no reason to take it. it is not worth the health risks and you will eventually find yourself making unhealthy decisions using the fact that "you can just take an adderall and stay up" "or barely sleep cuz u can just wake up and pop a stim pack"

i was pretty addicted to it in college and i was already pretty weak and skinny but after that year in college i was fucking emaciated...one time i felt so good and powerful on it i went outside to class in middle of winter wearing just a t-shirt thinking "fuck them" to everyone that looked at me funny

taking the healthy path in poker is the best one, eat right, sleep right, diet right, and get your excercise. if you do all that and you still can't focus for longer than 30 mins perhaps you should be taking adderall cause you have ADD (add is a myth anyways, just a bullshit term to describe one personality type) but if thats the case you're always going to be needing adderall so you're going to have to deal with and research the possible impacts it will have on your life

dont do drugs, stay in school

awesome post rekrul

I _can_ sit down and play poker for long periods of time especially if i feel motivated. The problem is that I have lots of things that can easily get me distracted and i'll instantly want to quit to do something more fun because unlike a job I can play whenever I want to. It's especially hard considering im playing for insignificant boring amounts of money against people I can't be crafty/creative against because that's the stupid way to play against them. I really just wanted to use adderall to help me focus and grind through to nl50hu or something where poker can become fun again and not just a boring grind. I realize im making a lot of stupid excuses now so I'm just gonna stop and say ty again for the marvelous post

well that was basically my problem for a year and why i never played and spent myself broke in the past, and no taking adderall will not help that

definitely not for you
