Andyec 0 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Hi, I'm new here and was wondering if anyone else likes to knock some glass before going to a public cardroom.No seriously, today a meth head sat down at an already juicy live 3/6 game. His eyes were completely crusted over. He talked 3 times louder than everyone else and raised every hand. He bought in for $39. This is how he got it:Meth head: I found $20 on the floor.Other guy: Nice work.Meth head: Well a lady claimed it was hers but finders keepers. I told myself that once he posted he was probably going to raise every hand on every street. I was right. Unfortunatly I couldn't get in a pot with him. Eventually he got mad when his pair of 3s got beat on the river by someone chasing a flush (he paired a 10). He stood up and started yelling at the dude, took his last $5 and left.Hey, at least that's enough for three 40s. Anyone else have any stories about people who were obviously ****ed up on something playing live poker? Link to post Share on other sites

loogie 115 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 I don't believe it. If a meth head finds $20, I know exactly what he's going to do with it. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah...your signature tends to support your stance against drugs. And yeah, I think he was trying to make more so he could buy more glass. He was actually up to like $60 or $65 at one point but of course it wasn't going to last. Link to post Share on other sites
pbwl11 0 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 During the summer here, we have differnt ethnic festivals downtown almost every weekend. Needless to say there is a WHOLE lot of drinking that goes on untill they close at midnight.Then alot of the drunkheads decide it's too early to go home, so "Hey, let's go play some poker!"That's why I love getting to the casino about 2 or 3am and take advantage of the drunken/tilted ATMs. One of the perks of being in a town with a major brewery only minutes away.....lol :twisted: Link to post Share on other sites

liveactiononly 0 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 i dont know about how true the statement that "drugs and poker do not mix"....i play for a living and 75% of my play is while i am high....how can you resist the kind of green we see up here in the bay area.

BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 People are coked out, and methed out all the time at some of the places I play. And of course drunk and stoned. Drugs and poker go together like chocolate and peanut butter.Unless, of course, you want to win..Some kinds of speed, if you used them properly, and didn't suck at poker to begin with, could be a performence enhancer (IE adderol)But most recreational drug use will lead to recreational poker play.

liveactiononly 0 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 how can you make so many generalizations....what says a player cant play at the same level high if not better....i dont use drugs recreationally....its more of a constant....i smoke about as much as i play poker....and i would have to say thats a lot being that i play poker for a livingJust so you know that i am serious, I honestly do like being high and playing because it becomes much less difficult to stay calm in high pressure situations (ex. bluff)...and overall i have found that it just makes much less vulnerable to exposing tells or any player getting a decent read from my emotions. The only negative effects i have seen is that if i am playing 15-20 hour sessions i am not quite as sharp at remembering specific hands....but as far reads go i have no problem keeping those constant in my mind....dont look down on me because i do something the government rejects Link to post Share on other sites
inciteful 0 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 i'm the jerk who somehow finds a way to tip the jack and coke all over the felt. I don't know how my arm swings so far back, but whether it's checking a hand in poker, or signaling a stay in blackjack...the jack and coke goes down. And hard. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not saying it's morally wrong, I'm saying it's tactically wrong. YOu are a marijuana addict, so obviously you don't have the ablity to be objective on the issue. How ever, pot negativly effects your short term memory, which is in my opinion the most valuable asset a poker player has. Going over the hands your oponent played, and how they played them is vital in making decisions in future hands, and pot impares that. Now, if you are a marijuana addict, the negative effects of not having pot in the short term out way the benfits of not being high, I'll grant you that. And what ever things you make up about pot helping you stay relaxed, or what ever else you tell yourself to enable your addiction are your business. But objectively, anything that hurts your short term memory can't help you be a better poker player, period. Link to post Share on other sites
KowboyKoop 0 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 yeah, it has a lot to do with poker. I mean, the concepts of pot odds and knowing how many outs you have and such.....oh wait, you said METH. My bad. Link to post Share on other sites
Negligible 0 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Sat at a 2/4 limit HE game in Minnesota once with a guy who kept checking on his car/going to the bathroom/calling his wife and every time he came back he was nuts. The man couldn't keep still. He ended up dropping $1000 in that 2/4 game. It was absolutely nuts. I don't think I saw a flop where pre-flop betting wasn't capped for 4 hours. Guy left at 4 AM and security called the cops after they saw him passed out in his car and couldn't wake him up. Apparently they knew the guy. That was by far one of the strangest poker room visits I ever had. Link to post Share on other sites

liveactiononly 0 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Interesting point but i will continue my argument:See, you like many others before you make the same grave mistake of attempting to escape to the word "addiction"....That is just another term for someone who uses an excess amount of anything that is not a commonplace in society....freaks who love to have sex...they get labeled sex "addicts"....me, i smoke marijuana every day and get labeled an "addict"...when in all actuallity i wake up every day and look at the world more objectively and more open minded than most, and i on most days feel like my day would be just a bit nicer if i was high....that is by no means an addiction....what if you were addicted to being happy....would being a happy "addict" be a bad thing. I have at no point in my life been addicted to anything....i look at the benefits of weed in my poker game as well as my life equally to that of the opposite side, being the disadvantages. I have found as i said before there to be numerous instances where it has dramatically helped me in remaining unreadable in my demeanor throughout long sessions. When i stated before that my short term memory may be slighty effective i truly did mean in the very slightest...i may once a week forget one big hand in which valuable information may have been gained...but with some seaching i can recall the events.....i honestly can tell you that i am the most objective thinker you will find....but i ask you whether you have tried playing high before?...i get the feeling you havent.....and this is not something i would say is narrowminded of you....so why then would it be so narrowminded of me to only play high and not try otherwise....i have explored both sides of the the argument thoroughly....and have simply found it to help my play and enrich my life....ive said my piece Link to post Share on other sites
