LC - No more cashier button for me...
 

Starting tomorrow I'm playing for one week without looking at my account balance. I'd like to play 200 tournies during this week, which is alot for me. When I sign up for a tourney I'll give the screen the old 'squint eye' so I can't decipher my account balance. I just want to see what if feels like.

You can't avoid knowing what your account balance is when you can't join the next sng.

I think checking my account balance obsessively is +EV. It may even be +$/hour.

That would mean I just experienced a 100+ downswing. I would probably never recover.

Totally just a different psychological effect that it has on me. I'm fortunate enough to not have to worry about money (and scared enough to play really low stakes), so I play poker entirely to see higher numbers in my bank account/the cashier. Not looking at the cashier would, I think, make me scared either to lose chips or to give up a pot. Looking makes me think only about what makes that number go up by more more frequently.

Not sure if that makes sense, but it helps me.

200 tourneys a week? That's 28 a day. That's 2.8/hr (assuming 10 hours of play).

I think you should consider getting some professional help, you clearly have a problem.

From a poker point of view, I doubt that playing that much at once will improve your game, or your bankroll.

You probably won't remember any of it the following week; you are addicted.

You'll notice I initially said 200 tournies a week was alot for me. Some weeks I go crazy, some weeks I don't play at all. Whatever I feel like. Next week I think I'll go crazy. And I 4 table the 33's which is closer to 4 tournies an hour.
