Default Re: Bankroll Psychology - my unusual problem

I fail to see the problem.

You have effectively decided investing is more important than poker and many other items competeing for your attention. You have effectively made investing your top priority.

This poker behavior supports that intention.

What's the problem again?? Give yourself permission to keep doing this. Here is the only item you may want to adjust:

Some of those times, like this weekend, I get impatient with playing lower stakes and try to build quickly, thinking in the back of my mind, "this is only a small part of my winnings, it's ok to lose it."

Change it to "this is real money, it's NOT OK to lose it." That is aligned with your intentions as stated.

You have alot more figured out than you realize.
