Default Winning big pot causes bad play

Just noticed that If given the opportunity I will often make a big mistake soon after winning a big pot.

Any big pot creates a certain amount of tension and when it works out ok there is a release. For the next couple of hands I'm too relaxed, too confident and too blase about my new chips. There is often chat between players about the last hand and I often join in, causing further distraction. I'm an online player BTW so there's little time to pause.

People sometimes talk about being vulnerable after losing a big pot but for me it's the opposite.

Anyone met this or have anything to add?

Thanks
James
