I am going to go 30 days playing poker everyday without smoking weed. This will be a new challenge for me because I have relied on weed to help balance the emotions that come with being a professional.

I will then play poker for 30 days consecutively while smoking weed all day everyday

I will document my progress and I encourage people who are on the ropes about marijuana to follow my progress on sharkscope

The Challenge starts Sunday, May 31

From one professional to another. Don't do this!

Good advice - I see your point

To counteract the fatigue i will be taking 1-2 days off every week. I have been grinding for a little over a year so I will be approaching it the same as I always have. Other exteranneous factors I will consider is sample size(playing the same amount of games in both conditions) and how much I think i have improved as I play more. I am a constant student of the game and everyday I try to make myself better.

I will also be evaluating the overall level of happiness that each lifestyle brings to my life and if I am truly happier while I am stoned or if it is all counterfeit.

I am excited:)

The weed is decent - Basic Dro

Not anything like I am sure a lot of you are smoking but it keeps me high:)

GL with this i will track your progress. i always wonder if i play better high or sober.

i think this is a sick idea and wish i thought of it haha. i have an ever going battle deciding whether or not im a better player on weed or not. cant wait to see the results

Cool idea. My hypothesis is you won't see a big correlation 1 way or another in your stats. I'm sure however you will notice a huge difference in your overall happiness or mood but i honestly don't think your stats will change much.

how many games are you going to be playing cus variance alone can make 1 30 day period look amazing and another look horrible which could lead to you thinking incorrectly about your results.

I will be playing A LOT of games. I will use FPPS as a way to keep the sample size even. For example, If i earn 20,000 base FPPS in June then I will do the same in July

I am creating a blog for this and I will post it here when it is ready

Day 1 -

This is going to be harder than I thought. Weed has always been a tool for motivating me to play poker. I am like a dog who runs into the kitchen everytime I see food. Smoking triggers a yearning for poker that the sober life has not brought yet. I have been surrounded by people smoking all day but I have stayed strong and will continue to do so. I can already notice an increase in my abilities while sober but I lack the subconcious fire to put in high volume. I will need to find some other non drug related activity to motivate me to push on. I am thinking this will come from religion / exercise but its effects will only be measured with time. I feel more clear headed than I have in a while but I don't know if this is a good thing. I told my roommate about my intentions to quit smoking for 30 days and I asked him if he thought I could do it... His response.. "I'll give you 36 minutes"

I will prove him wrong!

GL on ur quest. After 3-5 days w/o smoking i dont think you will have a problem. But, gg sleep till then.
