I think it depends on the player in general. Some can handle it well and stay relaxed and smooth while using it. But some may have a negative effect or even that calmness would influence a difference game altogether. It sucks to think people would need to relay on it to play. If it allows someone to play the same game as you would play off it but maybe just an added calmness then its perfect.
Here is the real big issue that is close to coming to a head I believe. While its now legal in a couple areas for rec... it is not in a larger area of the US. Poker is considered a sport and its likely to eventually require drug testing or abstinence. I personally do not think its necessary but it is likely to happen or be brought up at least.
O wow I did not even think about that. Thanks for bringing that up and for your comment.
I look at it like if a player wants to smoke and lose his money I don't see a problem with that. And if the player wants to smoke and try and win some money and not harming anyone in the process I don't see a problem with that either.
I think only time will tell my friend and now you got me wondering abut the WSOP drug testing :)
I do not care nor think it is bad b/c I know how I am when smoking. I guess tolerance plays a part as well. Whether or not they ever consider drug testing is iffy. The only thing I can think of that held them back thus far is the fact that no one can get hurt from the intoxication while playing. Time will tell as you say. :) Namaste
ayyyyy exactly my friend your words are so spot on o weeeeee
Namaste :)
