for example, and this might be silly, but i realize that seeing my bankroll go down tends to affect my game a bit. i built my recent bankroll from $25 to $225, but seeing it go down to $215, $205, etc does affect how i play. while i don't chase my losses, i might be a bit more timid in situations i know should play because they're +ev because i don't want to see my bankroll go down even more.
so, i started transferring most of my bankroll into my sports betting wallet (betonline) and keeping $11 in my account for micro-stakes mtts. if i need to reload, i will. while the value is the same, seeing an $11 bankroll drop down doesn't have the same negative affect as seeing a $225 bankroll drop. i'm more mentally focused on my game and proper decision making because bankroll concern and worry is no longer there. on top of that, it's a much bigger confidence booster if i am able to increase $11 to $50 on a big run than it is to increase $225 to $265, even if it's the same amount.
this is probably a mental leak in my game and i know i shouldn't be focused on losing x-amount of buy-ins. but it does affect me and this is how i got over it.
also, $11 has no special reason for why i chose it. i just like how the number looks.
