View Full Version : Pheromones and poker game
Poker involves
a lot of bluffing and confidence. Has anyone ever tried using mones to influence other players perception of you
and your game play?

I wore NPA while playing slots
(Wheel 'o Fortune) in Vegas and won $700. Must have given the machine DIHL. Didn't work as well for video poker or
blackjack.

female slot machine that was receptive to his 'mones.

Pete,
I've never tried it, nor do I recall any mention here of anyone who has.
But one
bit of advice that I'd suggest is NOT to go into a game wearing anything that you haven't tested pretty
extensively.
The wearer of any phero or phero blend is the person most closely and intensively exposed to their
effects. Since poker's a game where any unchecked display of emotion can tip your hand, try to do your
experimenting in games where you're not "betting the ranch".
A period of "desensitization" can take several days
before you've adjusted to their effects.
Beyond that, I think the perception of confidence might just as
easily work against you as for you. That perception may work in your favor when you're bluffing on a mediocre hand,
but could work to your detriment if you're soft-selling a good hand in the early betting.
While you can feign
a lack of confidence in your hand with body language and facial expressions, you're not going to be able to turn
off the effects of the pheromones.
I'd be interested to hear how it works out if you try it though.

Speaking of that, I have a negotiation class and my
professor is top notch. He is an attorney and investigator. He seems hard-nosed and is hard to read or persuade.
I was wearing a couple sprays of Chikara and when I was talking with him he got giggly and unfocused I think. I
still want to do some further testing to see if that holds up.
As for poker playing, I will probably play online
and in person with other people in the next couple of weeks so I will see whether mones have an effect on me or
other players. If anyone here has tried it, please post. I think that if you are playing in person with other
people, a none OD added with suggesting that the other person fold, might make them fold. You people here probably
know a lot more than I do, but just an idea. What do you guys think?

Now you got me thinkin'…
Any lawyers read this forum? It would be interesting to note the affect
of pheromones in the courtroom. Would the judge be more inclined to decide in your favor? Could opposing council be
intimidated by you? Could pheromones influence the jury to decide in your favor?

I play no-limit poker four or five
nights a week. I would have to say that I get a good deal of respect from the players that sit right next to me,
and am pretty sure the 'mones play a part in that.
Plus, there's usually a hot chick there that "loves the
way I smell". :)

I ain't a lawyer--a college professor--but have used 'mones for over two years in
classrooms and faculty meetings. In my experience they have no perceivable effect in large open areas except to
those in your immediate vicinity. So SOE and NPA don't do jack when I'm lecturing in a lecture hall or large
classroom. However, one on one in my office or car the effects are obvious and very cool. I imagine a NPA soaked
lawyer wouldn't fare much better unless he or she can navigate into the personal space of jury members or judge.

I agree. Don't know if I was unclear, but my negotiation
teacher didn't act any differently when I was talking with him from a classroom distance, just when I was talking
near him. So a closed door arbitration meeting would probably be a better environment for mones to work than an open
courtroom.
Riley,
I know it might be hard to tell, but did you ever try a product/combo with the intent of
trying to make the other player do something (fold, go all in). If so, what did you use?
