I wonder if you don't loosen up after you gain more chips, especially in relation to the others at the table. Keep playing the style that gained you the chips.

BINGO. Thanksgiving day, I won an 18x$55 and 180x$20 on Stars, skyrocketing my BR from $0 to $1400. Then I decided I was going to loosen up and instantly transform into one of those "tricky" players like I see on TV. By the end of the day half the $1400 was gone. Then I tightened up and grinded it out over the next week, finally earning it all back. Amazing how much different my mindset (and play) was from "I just won a bunch of money" to "I'm down, this sucks, I need to start earning this back".
