Re: ADD and Poker
Also, elsewhere she discusses keeping your hands busy while trying to pay attention in a meeting. I think this is why I find myself much more attentive at B&M poker than online; I can play with the chips all day.
[/ QUOTE ] Or have some chips on your desk like I do. Best of both worlds. Plus you can play with yourself online, it's more difficult B+M |

You just have to figure out how your opponent[s] would play if they could see your cards, and then induce them to do the opposite. Nothing to it. I appreciate the well-intentioned advice, and if I can figure out how to get paid to do something i love (besides play poker!) then i will certainly take that advice to heart. Maybe that's fodder for another thread. |

Re: ADD and Poker
Hey, do the drugs help? I was just diagnosed with ADD at age 36. I havent started the drugs yet but I will in about 2 weeks. I sure hope the drugs help because I am one fidgety guy. lol.

Re: ADD & Drugs
You can control ADD, ADHD, OCD, or Tourettes through hard work and determination. Drugs are a doctors's easy way out of treatment and have the side effect of making you dependent on the drugs. |

That I agree with and it's rampant. You do not necesarily become dependent on drugs. I didn't.

Re: ADD and Poker
of course the adderol helps you 4-table better, you can click so freaking fast! seriously though - I always thought I had some sort of attention disorder but have never been diagnosed, I have taken both adderol and ritalin recreationally and found that both improved my focus and concentration. I felt pretty cracked out from the adderol though.
