Bob Sloanes Poker Tip of the Day

#1 Smoke marijuana or hash before you play!

Everyone knows you play better when you are hungry so use this to your advantage by inducing hunger or "munchies" with marijuana.
Rookie mistake : Giving in to the munchies and thereby giving away your "edge"

Phil Ivey in an interview with Cardplayer magazine 23 October 2002
"Yeah I usually smoke maybe 2 joints before I start play and I always have a room wherever I'm playing. I generally leave my bitch in the room with a bong ready to go whenever I take a break for five minutes. Sometimes I overdo it I guess and my mouth kind of hangs open at the table or I get paranoid because I'm the only black guy at the table and my eyes start moving from side to side. If the hunger pangs get too bad and I feel i'm gonna crack I just go back up to the room and eat some pussy(laughs)."

T.J Cloutier in an interview with Bluff magazine 23 June 1999
"I've played and won tournaments all over the world but the toughest games by far I've encountered were against the rasta's in ethiopia. The players there are literally starving and smoke marijuana as part of their religion. How can anyone realistically compete against that kind of edge?"

Hmmm, interesting as it is, I'm gonna lock this thread, discussion of illegal substance use, although written to relate to Poker, isn't something that can be encouraged here.
