I definitely believe this is will help people achieve the detached state that you described in your post. After you play for a while without looking at the cashier, you do lose track of how you're doing and can focus on making good decisions.

I agree completely. The first hour was agony for me, and since then I've been playing the most calm, tilt-free poker that I've played in quite some time. I just don't care whether I'm up or down, I only care that I make the best decisions possible with what information I have available, using whatever strategy/calculation (eg, calculate %-age I have to be good to call river bet, etc) that I have at my disposal.
