Why do you think checking your balance is a problem? Does it affect your play?

Poker is a long term game, blah blah blah, but I don't see any harm in knowing how you are doing in a given session. I actually have my table total on my PAHud layout.

Great idea for a prop bet though (if this is an issue for you).

I didn't make fun of you for that whole hand washing thing you freak, so lay off

I have my table totals on the table, but somehow adding it all up, esp into a session when several tables have been opened or closed, it just too much work. But I don't like to check because it messes with my head. When I sit and play I can zen it and it can be all one big session, even if running well or taking some hits, but when I look at my balance it becomes "I can't believe this is a losing session" and I would rather just avoid that.

(That's for the hand washing comment)

I actually find that it sometimes effects my play as well during a session if I check my PT numbers to find out what I am up or down. If I was up $1k and am now down like $500 if can definitly be that nudge that moves me slightly into the tilt zone.
