Someone who smokes weed while playing? Is it good or bad for concentration

 

[Silversurfer99]

awful..i tell you

 

[Kenzie 96]

Certainly good for his/her opponents.

 

[LILSALAH]

Depends on the player honestly.
Some people might feel more relaxed and focused after smoking, others might lose focus and make bad decisions.
If it helps them play better and they stay respectful at the table, then I don't see a problem. But personally, I prefer to play with a clear mind.

I would not start smoke weed in an attempt to get better results , its more likely to have slightly worse results .
Also you need to consider you smoke away your winnings before you reach any moneyposition [][]
Only regular weedsmokers will not be affected that much , but you kinda need to smoke a lot , a long time for this ]]

I rarely smoke recently. But my experience allows me to answer to your question. Certainly a lot depends on your skills. If you don't know how to play poker, weed won't help you, it will only make your game more predictable (which your opponents will certainly take advantage of). But if you are a good player with a variation of your playing style, and also can analyze poker both mathematically and psychologically, then weed will only make you more concentrated and flexible in the game plan.

I only smoke cigarettes, I don't recognize weed!!!!

For me, I think that the game of poker depends on concentration and the use of various strategies to play, and this makes the use of drugs in general a negative thing, but if the use is not excessive and is reasonable, I do not see that there is a problem.

It will depend on your level of user and the dosage used!

I usually smoke 1 or 2 times during a long 8-hour session.
I would say it suits me very well... But it is certainly a personal thing.
In addition, there are different types of strains that allow you to experience different sensations!

For new users it will certainly cause a lot of mental confusion!

We have another thread with some answers of this type here:

Cannabis and poker: share your thoughts

Hi everyone!! Currently, the world society is suffering a resounding canon with respect to the point of view on cannabis, fortunately, since several scientific studies demonstrate the effectiveness it has to treat various disorders and diseases. If we put aside recreational use and focus...

Bad . No weed or alcohol whole playing.i think it's not good
Although many players can support the opposite, that weed helps them play better , more relaxed . But not. M e

 

[steve01991]

dont think they would be able to fully concentrate, so i would say its not a good idea.

Smoking weed while playing poker affects people differently, so whether it's good or bad for concentration depends on the individual. For some, cannabis may help reduce anxiety, improve focus, and create a calm mindset, which can be useful in stressful situations. However, for many others, it can impair short-term memory, slow reaction time, reduce critical thinking, and lead to poor decision-making — all of which are major disadvantages at the poker table. Overall, while some players believe it helps them get into a "zone," the risks to clarity and discipline usually outweigh the benefits for consistent, high-level play.

Hi
I think there is nothing good in this. If you're going to play seriously, then all sorts of weeds, drugs or alcohol are unnecessary. But if you play for fun, I think you can afford something within reason.

 

[havingfun]

I think it depends on the person. Some people handle weed a lot better than others. However, If I were to smoke then my game playing ability is done.

 

[theoxy]

For me its hard to play when i smoke weed . I want eat all the time and then listen music and after i go sleep . ;d

 

[dzsire]

I don't think anyone would be able to make sensible decisions under the influence of drugs. They would rather slow down, maybe their timebank would expire sooner, than make a decision. The only advantage might be that they won't be nervous about their decisions.

 

[Dushka]

My husband smokes when he's nervous.
It's all individual.

 

[Sunz of Beaches]

If u want to play serious Poker over many hours on multiple tables then it's not recommend since u will get brain fog after some time playing and u will not make the most profitable decisions while multitasking high.

If u want to dabble a bit around with B-Game, play multiple freerolls or live Poker, then this can be done high since it does not need lots of brainpower and multitasking abilities.

But everything is individual in the end.

 

[bodil19982]

It's up to everyone, but I don't use it, so I don't know.

 

[ManOfSky]

I suppose it depends on whether smoking is allowed in your country or not))

If your opponent smokes it, then it's good. If you - then not really.

 

[Chebchoub]

Your performance will be poor, you'll lose half your focus, and you'll call weak hands. It's like wine: you'll feel excited, followed by loss and failure😂😂😂
It's better to watch an action movie instead of playing poker, especially when playing for money.
