It's the right way to play because without being worried about money, you will make better decisions. Even if you lose, you wouldn't be pained so much.
If you play with a small percentage of your bankroll, there's less pressure/risk. Everything else is pressure we put on ourselves as players to try and win every game.
Taking control of your cash gives you a relaxed mindset. When I play without thinking about the money, I tend to enjoy the activity more. When I play to win money, I control my expectations and decision. It makes it more tensed.
If you make playing for money your priority, if you don't win after playing for a long time, you will start losing interest in playing.
I will still continue to stress that the motive to play for fun must be the foundation choice for all gaming activities. Placing too much emphasis on money can creates substantial strain on you. It will kill the fun in the game.
It happened to me several times for me to sit down and talk to myself. The lesson and advice you give to yourself is always the best and that's how I changed my mindset towards how I play.
