Phil Ivey - "I Smoke The Gonga Before Every Major Tournament"

[RPatterson]

I just read this on full tilt poker. He admitted to smoking the gong before every major tournament he plays in. Do you guys think it helps his play?

[James Boston]

I really, REALLY doubt it is anywhere.

Smoking a gong? I've never heard of this. How do you smoke a gong?

A rimmed metal disk that produces a loud, sonorous tone when struck with a padded mallet.
A usually saucer-shaped bell that is struck with a mechanically operated hammer.

Marijuana, especially a highly resinous form of marijuana prepared from the flowering tops and leaves of selected plants and usually ingested by smoking.

Phil said this at the 15/30 table he was playing at when asked if he blazes.

Why would you start a garbage thread like this?

BTW, many players drink during a tournament... so what?

Alcohol isn't an illegal substance.
