I haven’t checked my poker results since last Saturday, so I have no idea how I’m doing this week. Very occasionally it’s really annoying not being able to look at my results at the end of the day, but mostly it’s been awesome.
The reason it’s so great is because it’s really hard to stay tilted at something you actually don’t know. Sure it feels bad to lose and I might feel annoyed if I run bad at the end of a session, but I never feel tilted for long because I simply don’t know for sure that I’ve lost for the day.
You might go, “wtf, how can you not know if you lost?” but trust me, sometimes you just don’t know. I’ve had times in the past where I was sure I was down tons of money only to look and see that I actually made a couple bucks. Then there were other times when I felt like I was running really hot when I was actually just break-even.
Do you tilt easily or do poker results weigh on your mind once you’ve left the tables? I highly recommend not looking at results and/or your cashier for as long as you can.
