Title: Progress through chemistry Post by: TightPaulFolds on February 07, 2007, 04:45:56 PM Interesting article in 'Pokerplayer' a couple of months back on stimulants and nootropics (Redbull, Ephedrine, Ginseng, that kind of thing). Was surprised to learn that a lot of american players are turning to Piracetam to maintain focus and alertness. Do you touch any of this stuff? I find a couple of cans of Red Bull make a big difference at final tables.
From memory their list was something like: Piracetam 5/5 Biotest Spike 5/5 Redbull 2/5 (they criticized the 'crash' after the initial boost) Ginseng 2/5 Ephedrine 0/5 (too many 'jitters') Beer 0/5 (wtf?) etc. I know someone who swears blind by 3 vodkas and coke, each to their own I suppose...

(junkie b**tards that they are!) They truly are the scum of the earth! What if there were young kids watching the game. Would they then think its ok to eat this so called 'chocolate'. God the idea of it makes me sick! |
