@@@*** Sep 2014 - Goals / Progress / Results Thread ***@@@ - Page 4 - Micro Stakes Pot Limit and No Limit

I think it's individual if you can handle it, some people might tend to chase loses when seeing they are down and checking results will become a distraction from playing their A-game. Also people who check results tend to be too result oriented and not look objectively at their session.

If you fall into one of these categories or have other issues by checking results there is really no point in checking, if however you can look at a losing graph after feeling you played great without changing your mood drastically I don't see any reason not to check results.

BYN summed it up pretty nicely, it's just an unnecessary distraction which can take me away from my A-game. Plus I want it to be a nice surprise when I'm up 100 BIs at the end of the month

Jokes aside, what if that "nice surprise" isn't as nice as you thought it would be? Or worse, a red number instead? I can see the tilt being magnified over a much longer period of time instead of just being annoyed by losing a couple stacks in a session and then feeling pretty neutral by the time you play your next session.

Am giving this not checking results thing a whirl for the first time this month. Already feel mentally lighter at the end of a session and finding it easier to focus on decision-making during a session.

Obv. it will be frustrating, but I believe it will be just as frustrating if you did look at results during the month as you will be more aware of the downswing which easily can become a distraction.
