Illegal drugs are just that - illegal.
Like it or not they are. I don't care if the majority of the time they are alright and cause no harm.
If a casino did decide to clamp down on drugs and you knowingly took illegal drugs and were caught and were thrown out of any tournament or casino then you don't have a leg to stand on.

In my case, having never touched recreational drugs in my life (cigarettes excluded)


Tony, do you not consider alcohol to be a recreational drug then? an interesting viewpoint when you do put cigarettes into that group

or was it just an age related oversight?

Yes, it was an oversight, age-related or not.

In mitigation, I have not touched alcohol for 39 wonderful years.

Just curious, but where did you wake up after you last drank ?

I assumed that was just an oversight

but what about the follow up question re caffeine? do you not consider that to be a recreational drug?

I'm really interested in how people put this big divide between legal and illegal substances

For the last time people, poker is not a sport.

If poker is a sport, then we have to make bridge a sport, and I really don't want to do that.

From there it's a slippery slope through Cribbage, Dominoes, Monopoly and before you know it Sunday8pm is representing GB in 2012 at Snakes and Ladders.



Snap is still a sport though.

I think the official definition is that anything that you can do sitting down while drinking beer is NOT a sport

that's discrimination that is.

you're basically saying that Ironstein will never be able to compete in any sport unless he puts his pint down first

you may have got me there - far be it from me to separate a man from his pint

that'll teach me not to just parrot things without thinking them through
