First, a short story.
 
First time in Vegas, Tropicana (it was cheap), 4:30 AM of my first morning (my body still on Eastern Time). Went to the casino and it was pretty dead. Got on a $5 blackjack (not my game) table with a guy in a suit and cowboy hat and boots and a girl who looked like she was partying that night. Put $50 on the table and we had a very social game. I'd play hands, win, lose, increase bets, decrease bets and enjoyed the company. A half hour after starting, I took a close look at what was in front of me. My $50 turned into $375 or so. That spooked me. I don't mind playing with those little red discs but I very much minded playing with that much money. I was no longer able to play. I left.
 
I feel I can win at any STT table no matter what the stakes. In fact, my game would probably play better at the higher levels. The problem is that the higher buyin would negatively affect my thinking.
 
I've even gone so far as to consider letting my wife sign me up for STTs in the $11 to $33 range, put me on the table, and not let me know what I was playing.
 
It's not a bankroll issue. I'm probably at a point where my bankroll would support $11 and $22 games and even an occasional $33 game.
 
Yes, I know it's in my head.
 
Am I the only one with this problem? Has anyone had this problem and beaten it?
