Default Do you ever play poker when you can\'t concentrate ?

I got sinuses so bad that I can't concentrate on anything. Should I be playing poker ?

For a few hands until I realize it's just not a good spot to be in. Give it a few minutes, then if you find you still cant, quit.

I say go for it. Play at some micro limits and just splash a lot of chips around.

I made a final table in a tournament while coming down from a psychadelic journey. I just played by instinct and didn't overanalyze things. It worked out much better to just play instinctively.

Impressive.

But on a side note, sometimes I do, cuz poker is just too much fun. But when I realize I lost half of my chips to the table, I tend to stop.

Not against any real competition. Play the lower limits. You don't want your ass on the line with real real money out there.
