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.

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

Umm, don't keep 100 buyins in your poker account. In your roll, fine, good even. Over many accounts, fine, again good even. But not in 1 acct! Do you see why?

Risk. That's all. It probably is perfectly safe, but in the unlikely event someone else gains access to your account, you're limited in liability to the amount you have in your account. For example, my roll is just a little larger than yours. I keep 15 buyins in each acct, 30 buyins in Neteller, and the rest gets cashed to my bank account / whatever device I then want to invest in for safe keeping.

If I ever have my password stolen or for some reason I am mistakenly accused of something fraudulant I don't lose my whole roll. My access to my roll is the same as yours with way lower risk. Do what you want, but there's no reason to keep your whole roll on one site.

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