How often do you check the size of your bankroll?

Okay guys, I have the problem that I tend to check my bankroll all the time I am playing, like if I am doing good or not.

My friends always say that I should just do it once per week. And I noticed if I don't have the cashier window up where it updates instantly during my play I play much better, I don't really worry then.

I have 30+ buyins by the way so I should be fine anyway.

How can I start just checking once per week and not care about daily results?

I am so bad at this. I check my BR like after every pot thats bigger than 10BB. I really need to stop.

lol well I am 8 tabling and I do the same, at least every 10 minutes. It gives such a great feeling when it's growing!!

If it puts you in a good frame of mind when its growing I don't see a problem. However, how you react when its reducing is the real issue. Does it affect your play in a negative way? Do you tilt or start worrying too much? If so that is bad and you need to stop it.

This problem I think stems from playing higher stakes than you are comfortable with, whether you are properly rolled or not.

I am playing .25/.50 cents but I am used to 1/2 at least..

I don't know, it's such a bad habit.

I do the same. But I wouldn't be comfortable otherwise, so I guess it is good.

I check often as well its nice to see when a session is paying off.
Also if your having a bad session you can often underestimate just how bad it is if you leave it too long before checking.
