A little introduction, Everyone knows you can crush the internet while u smoke mad weed all day. For the majority of online grinders I know, smoking weed when u grind is the Norm. I also smoke piles of pot, def too much, but I feel like it is more then likely a benefit for the volume that I play then a detriment. However, I recently played a 1k live tournament down in San Diego. The whole time I was playing my thoughts would randomly be focused on when im smoking my next cigarette or my next bing load.
Another thing I have come across is that it seems to me, that the majority of Online players who have experienced major successes in the live poker arena seem to be the non stonerish types. If some players with experience playing the biggest live and online tournaments can shed some light on this issue please do! Im highly considering tryin to cut smoking out of my life as i make my descent on the live poker world, has any other player thought about doing this because of primarily the effects it could have on their live poker game? Shoot. -
pot brownies ftw

Wow you really are dedicated
-
just curious, did everything work out on stars? I see you removed your names
edit- nevermind, I can see by OPR that you haven't played on either name since your switch -
what exactly are you looking to get out of this thread? seems insanely pointless and is just going to make you look awful...

LIve poker is super borring! Every time I'm in Vegas, at the poker tables , I say to myself I couldnt never do this full time. People are annoying at the table, uncomfortable, gf waiting in room to party. Online in Ohio ftw

-
Ughhh, the point seems pretty clear? Do all you live players that have alot of success live smoke when your playing live??? What was so insanely pointless and is going to make him look awful?

Someday you will look back an realize how stupid you look because of this post.

meh i've shipped 2 live tournies high out of my gourd, conversely i've also lost 40% of my stack in one orbit with 9 high.
marijuana's primary purpose is to control tilt/keep a positive outlook on the game...so whatever edge you may gain from smoking it when playing online is diminished greatly in the live arena -
well if ur normally gettin high everyday, then I think ud wanna play live poker high too. Id think its a good idea to avoid getting too high right before play tho. Id also consider quitting greens completely, I used to smoke everyday and now I dont smoke at all, and I like life better this way.

Are you saying you got 9 high every hand for one orbit?

I don't really like smoking pot at all, for grinding online, live poker, or just hanging out. But for every live tourney ive played pretty much ive gotten a bit buzzed/drunk. I have def had a similar thing where after about 45 minutes i think god damn im kinda bored....i want to go take another jager shot. But for my somewhat low-medium live tourney sample ive done pretty well and i do feel like drinking a bit helps me...and def makes it more fun. Not sure how relevent this is to this post but whatev.

I think I'm with you on this one. I think for live I have more fun/relax more with a few drinks.

1 stoner doing well in 1 live tourney obv = all of them crushing live

why do we smoke grinding online? cause were heaps bored.
live poker (to me at least) is 10x more boring, so yeah i usually smoke on breaks. but im also 0 for a lot in bigger buyins playin baked. -
i really dont think this thread is pointless at all, we all know alot of online grinders smoke and the OP is simply asking a question. I've always been curious about how others cope myself too

This year at the series I decided to attempt to play all my events w/o smoking. After about 2 events of being irritable as hell and pretty much not having a good time I decided to say F it and go back to blazing on breaks. It does def make you fiend for break time but imo it keeps me calm and tilt free knowing I will get to go get sparked on break.

The main objective of the post was to see if any of the fellow members on this website have experienced similar feelings and taken any sort of action in changing up their lives a little bit. I was hoping that a player or two could have given some insight into their experience with the topic i'm talking about. You know, maybe get some information about the subject that I have my head wrapped around right now. I mean that is the point of posing a topic to a community to discuss no? If you feel like Im going to look bad for openly discussing smoking, then that's your opinion. What I think you should do is answer this question for me
