poker and smoking

[rufininha14]

In my opinion I think this varies from person to person, for example I don't like smoking but I know people who smoke and the performance is great.

 

[steve01991]

no smoking at the live tables

 

[sincos]

Smoking calms the nerves a little, but dulls the attention!

 

[M13A13]

It reminds me of old western movies, in the scenes where the gunmen and the sheriff would go to bars smoking cigars and playing poker.
It still reminds me of mafia movies, where the bosses appeared in casinos smoking their cigars and playing poker. Maybe that's how I learned to love poker.

 

[Ruslan L]

smoking can hinder performance or not.
I want to know your opinion on the matter.

I smoke tabacco and I believe it gets in the way a little.
some claim that they increase concentration, and it is an excellent anxiolytic

Of course, smoking interferes with normal life. I smoked for many years, quit only after a heart attack, when I was almost near death, only then I understood, either smoking or life.

 

[Colbefc]

I don't see how smoking can hinder your poker playing, unless you are smoking wacky baccy

 

[thedarkman]

Smoking used to have a romantic image. That is long dead. Even the villains of modern film noir find it disgusting. Unless they are smoking something stronger!

 

[10gerka]

Some players smoke while playing, they do it most of the time to warm their bodies in winter when it is quite cold, but I don't know what consequences it has on your performance playing poker.

 

[s0ftdumps]

It's great if you have discipline and only use it in a spot where you're tired and need a little cognitive boost. Coffee has about an 8-hour half-life. Nicotine is 2 hours. It can give you a focus boost without destroying sleep.

 

[fryderyk]

I think it's an individual matter, one person will smoke anything and it will relax him, another person will be distracted by it.

 

[Luka22guro]

I don't understand why, but while playing poker, I'm constantly drawn to cigarettes, I quit smoking and started again because of poker (

 

[Suns of Beaches]

If Poker leads to such unhealthy habits u should ask urself if its worth it. Especially if u already quitted before

 

[odonob]

I believe you need a calm mind to play poker with maximum concentration. Any outside agent be it, alcohol or drugs will not help you in your ultimate task to win for example a MTT. You could have 2000 opponents, it doesn’t make sense to add one or more opponents to the list.

 

[bullkk]

Quit smoking and fortune will love you).

 

[Liedust]

I hate smoke!!

 

[andron205]

it will affect stamina and take away strength

 

[millya5]

Oh this is a sore subject for me..
I'm not allowed to smoke. Sometimes there were such cases, I paused and went to smoke. Smoking is a different drug. It takes a lot of willpower to quit smoking. But unfortunately everything remains the same

 

[Snake2007]

I don't think this is the best combination.

 

[stank12345]

Smoking is a terrible habit you are killing yourself slowly my wife would still be alive today if she had quit smoking ,cancer heart disease etc JUST STOP

 

[Dasha_21]

When I play, I try not to smoke. Smoking distracts me

 

[Liedust]

I hate smoke....

 

[kongen1981]

,smok e alort but never in side but out side

 

[ammje]

I don't like smoking, it's bad for your health, maybe marijuana, "medicinal" for stress after losing at poker.

 

[neptunas888]

Smoking distracts me because I smoke privately and it’s hard to last until a break

 

[gustavofuentes2]

I play poker and during break I go out for a smoke. It actually makes me feel better and I believe ti helps me analyze what is happening on the tables that I am in. Or it just a habit and has nothing to do with poker. good luck on the tables.
