I've done fairly well for myself in some of these games, with good comp. IMO it keeps me calm, helps me to analize situations and stay focused. Different strokes for different folks. I dont think that there is a difference between smoking a couple of joints and drinking beer, shots, etc. while playing. That's just me though. I would love for someone to think that they can out play me because I smoke. Bottom line - Your feelings are gonna get hurt! Good Luck to you all!

Well this guy was stoned like a sinner in the Old Testament...

He was blazed, and does not smoke often, well let's just say he smokes socially and not regularly. Other friends of mine that toke regularly don't seem to have the same amount of effect when doing anything like poker that requires your full attention.
