The Aspiring Stacker

that's a good point. ideally i wish i could (hypothetically) look at my results after every hand and be 100% indifferent regardless of what i saw. realistically, due to completely normal psychological issues such as results-orientation and attachment, i think most of us would be better off ignoring our results for the most part.

I'm not saying to look at your bankroll during your session because obviously there's not much benefit to doing that (assuming good BR management). You said to "ignore results", though, which sounded like you don't think we should be caring about end results at all.

Yeah it's easy to say we can look at results objectively, but it's very difficult given the innate link between money and emotion. I think the not checking your bankroll is a great idea

Sure it's difficult to see your bankroll go down, but playing poker means learning to disconnect yourself from the money in the first place.

I think not checking results EVER would be optimal. I mean you obviously have to check to see when you can move up or w/e. But basically every mega grinder suggests never checking results. Also I've heard of people having their best weeks/months in periods where they don't check results at all during these periods of time. Nobody can tell me that it's better to consistently check results throughout a session/week/month as opposed to never checking.
