Know the value but don't play scared of losing the money. That simple. Thats why I stick to stakes I can deal with.

Playing $400 NL was tough for me because I could lose all $400 in one hand. It unnerved me so I went back down.

Playing $200 NL was a little worrysome because $200 means a lot to me to lose in one hand.

Now take losing $400 playing $100 NL. Thats fine for me. A little depressing but fine. Its part of the game. I would have to lose that over many hands. And I can make it up later.

Its all a matter of perspective. If I made $200,000 a year at my job $400 NL would seem like $100 NL.
