I think I get what your saying.

I once played in 3 small homegame tourneys ($10 buy-in), and won the first 2, profiting $120. On my third, I was absolutely fearless. I was running so well that I made insane moves, plays that I would not normally do. In my mind, this was because of the hot streak I had earlier on- I neither cared if I won or lost the 3rd tourney.

IMO, this fearlessness is not good for ring/cash games, only tourneys. Accumulating chips is vital in tourneys, while in 2/4, .$25/.50 NL, whatever ring games, it is not. You can be patient, and are not as likely to be time pressed as in tourneys.

Just some thoughts.
