Is redbull the answer?
Has any one else noticed that they play better with a redbull inside them? I have. And it is a really notable difference. I played in a home game a few weeks ago with no stimulants and the deck did run cold for me but I didn't play my best in the circumstances. Then this week, I played on a liquid redbull dinner and was right back on form.
Of course there is some hard science behind it and its not all bad for you despite the rumours about bull testicles being involved. It seems odd that redbull haven't actually picked up on this and sent us a case load for free - i feel an email to customer care coming on...
I also noticed the stars were very bright that night and perhaps the moon was in uranus. I might be a witch, but whatever, I won and it works for me. Does it cross the boundaries of performance enhancing drugs? well, no not really, it is legal after all.
Bring on the bull!

I remember a tradeshow in london where casino blaster had their own redbull type drink as a promo item and it was great stuff...
In thailand, where of course poker is illegal, they have any number of alternatives to the ubiquitous redbull, many of which are preferable, such as the japanese lipovitan d and thai Carabou deng and M150... and Shark which I think is available in England is pretty similar...
Personally it makes me jittery though and doesn't improve my game but whatever helps...
...any more that 6 and you turn into Hevad Khan.LOL!!
Those good people at Shark energy ended up sponsoring us. It resulted in me pi$$ing their beloved drink for a fortnight.
The jittery thing can be used to your advantage under the proper conditions.
eg. "A shaky hand is a bet to fear"
Before a biggun I usually don't drink alcohol for at least 24hours. Then I load up on a generic** energy drink.
This results in me rattling like a big rattly thing with rattles on.
Usually it takes about an hour for the sophisticated players to realise I can't always have a monster by which time I've accumalated lots of chips.
You know kid I wonder how many people in the world play poker compared to the number of people who dress as a chicken and try to fly off a pier and call that a 'sport'. If that isn't a sick gamble then I'm sure i don't know what is. 'I'm sorry, a legitimate skilled game popular the world over just isn't for us, we'd rather people died at our events...'. I'm changing brands....
About 18 months ago I contacted them regarding sponsorship.
I told them that our players swear by their wake up soup and would they kindly send me some free samples and promotional clothing for an upcoming event.
The reply I received was shocking to say the least..
Basically they are only interested in "Extream" sports and would not be in a position to lend their name to something as "unfashionable" as a poker tournament. They assured me that they would not be interested in taking advantage of sick gamblers and I should be ashamed of myself.
Their representative made me out to be some kind of scumbag so I didn't let her down in my reply.
But I could never print that kind of language here!
