Drugs in poker

[AndrewT]

I've only quickly skimmed though this thread.

Why was Dingdell sniffing poppers whilst playing poker?

Did they help her?

[celtic]

no, she couldn't get it up and all her teeth fell out.

[AndrewT]

No teeth, eh...?

[celtic]

And all of those were through the media of train porn.

Amal nitrate? I always find that makes me 'looser' at the table

Any looser ud have to hold ur trousers up with both hands

[Azirapheal]

personally i would love to sit in a big stakes cash game with a couple of coked up fish

poppers or amyl nitrate in itself is not illegal, it is incredibly flammable (throw a match at him) and is avaliable in many sex shops as "room deoderiser" although the intent is not to deodorise a room. its effects are many and varied and allegedly enhance stimulation in intercourse/oral/jacking off to midgets/whateverthehll you want.

www.wikipedia.com is your friend people, it and google anyway

Any difference between this and getting pissed as a fart at the tables?

Nope overreactionaments imo

Old Fart Alert.

The first diference between coke and booze is one is legal, and one isn't. 

Any club that has a licence has an obligation not to allow drug taking on the premises, otherwise they will lose their licence, if caught.

So, if it upset / affected anyone to the extent of reporting them, then the company are obliged to do something about it.

Similarly is someone is overboozed.  They can quite happily be led from the premises.

Poker still has it's bad boy image, and as such many people see such shananigings as par for the course.  Others want to clean it up so it can truly become a game for everyone.

You pays yer monies........

What if you are just really loud and chatty like this guy but without doing any drugs? Would that be bad?

The whole idea about what is offensive is that people's standards differ.  Without being there, that's an imponderable.  But if over half the table, and others at neighboring tables, were thinking this guys behaviour was unacceptable, the chances are , it was.  The thing about not being stoned, high, or pissed, is that one is more likely to respond to a quiet word.  When you're out of it, you're out of it.

But the more important line is the drugs.  All the while coke is illegal, whatever the moral rights of the individual, taking it in a public place ( especially a licenced building ) is controllable.

It's down to the desire to do it.  It really upsets me when someone like tk suggests there's no point in complaining because nothing will be done.  I'm as guilty as the next man about doing nothing when I should speak out.  I'm just lucky ( unlucky/sexist - whatever your view ) that about the only time I'll speak out is if someone else is affected, especially a woman.  If it's just me, I'll bite the bullet and ignore it - I don't want to get beaten up over someone as unimportant as me.

But all I'm trying to say is drugs in a licenced place is easy.  Sort it, or I'm reporting you ( although I'd put it nicer, and take out any suggested threat, of course )

they can't keep drugs out of nightclubs or even prisons, how they gonna keep them out of casinos?

[thetank]

Let's just concentrate on trying to keep them out of schools.

I believe casinos are a little lower down the list of priorities when you report it to your MP.

[Wardonkey]

I really don't see the problem. Occasionally someone who has taken an illegal substance may behave badly at a poker table.

Alcohol creates problems far more frequently. No one suggests banning alcohol from casinos.

Even more frequently people behave badly with no help from any drug, legal or otherwise.

It's the behavior that's the issue not the drug taking, and often that's a matter of subjective opinion. You can't bar people just because you find their manner irritating.
