Difference in attitude based on where th BR is and how it got there.

Okay.

I know it really should not make a difference.

Online, I'm more comfortable playing with money I have built up on the site. It's the same money whether it's on the site, in Neteller or on some other poker site. But once I have built a 'cushion' of profit on one site, I am much more comfortable pushing my edges. Or taking shots at bigger games. And it's all the same bankroll.

Cash games are slightly different. If I don't have 'X' dollars in my pocket or readily available from my poker account at the bank, I'm not nearly as comfortable - even though I have suitable backup online that can be transfered to my bank in a few days.

Knowing I have this issue does not seem to help alleviate it. Having a bigger bankroll overall for the games I play would help.

Just wondering if anyone has any mental 'tricks' I might try to get past this.

I don't want to imagine that my wallet has more money in it, BTW. Nothing like not having any cash in an emergency on the way home.

Thanks, mosquito
