When to poolsip and when not to

[speciesxx]

Wondering when people do actually poolsip, and when not . Early in the game i never due it, cause it is simply to dangerous. i only tend to do it after i'm done with all the dwarven quests. Just to get that permanent invisibility. And maybe a wish.

Currently my DE archer is level 20 and almost ready for the ToEF. Maybe i should sip for a wish or perma invisibility. But it is risky as well to get doomed?
(i'm crowned atm, L+ with the far slayer Xbow)

When do you people sip?
When do you people not sip?
What do you sip for? .

I do it for one AoLS wish. Nothing else.

I have to have:
1. A blink dog corpse stashed in a shop or an ammy of teleport control.
2. Piety at 'very close' for easy doom removal.
3. The patience to remove the inevitable 5 doomings I will get, one by one.

I poolsip when I have an amulet or ring of teleport control, or
are playing a mindcrafter...or when I don't give two hoots about
the character.

I do it when one of these things is true:

1. It's the very early game, for example UD:1 or UD:2 (I start the game in SMC+UD). In that case I won't lose much of my time if I get doomed.
2. I don't care much about my character.
3. I really need an AoLS (for example, if the dwarven mystic hasn't given me SoCR's and I don't feel like going to the Rift).
4. I have what gut says for teleport control recovery and dooming removal, and while I do care about my character, it's not really great and it could be improved.

I usually don't poolsip..

Unless I really don't care what happens to that character (this ends up in shift-Q mostly anyway).
If I can't find an aols for ultra I try ocg or normal wins much rather than sip and get mighty annoyed.
I kind of got rid of the sipping habbit when killing an orc beastie to old age while trying desperately getting an aols.

After the arena, i normally poolsip if i have tp control guaranteed (blinkie corpse on shop, tcrtl item). Not so much for wishes, but for permainvisibility and/or teleportitis.

3. The patience to remove the inevitable 5 doomings I will get, one by one.

These are pretty much the criteria I use as well, plus one more:

4. I am in a condition where I can risk gaining many years of unnatural aging. If I'm playing a troll or orc, I usually avoid poolsipping unless I'm really desperate.

>in a condition where I can risk gaining many years of unnatural aging.

Yep, forgot that one. I've actually killed a troll in the past by
thinking "Surely it can't happen again."

When in any of the starting dungeons, or have the ability to remove cursing+dooming and tele control.
