Default Close your eyes and bet (online)

Just wondering if anyone else does this. You come to a point in the hand where you know you are "supposed" to bet but it's not an easy bet for you to make. You press the bet button and close your eyes, or tab off the window, so that you don't watch the result unfold. Did they fold to your bluff? Was your supposed "value bet" too thin?

Then after a few seconds, you go back and view what the end result was via dealer text or hand history.

I know I'm a weenie, just wondering if others are weenies too. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I do know one other player who has this habit -- and she is also female. We both play more aggressively online than live and any aggression that we display live is primarily due to it being learned. Online it's much easier to click that button, but we still squirm at watching the result.
