First big score (for me)... now what?

The goal of this isn't to come off like a BBV post. I recently had my biggest cash in a MTT of 16k. My normal game had been 33-55 sng's and 26 - 215 mtt's but never with a cash nearly that big. I proceeded the rest of the weekend to drop a quick $1500 or so just because I was playing poorly and the money seemed to lose value to me at the "lower levels."

How's does one remain focused for small stakes after hitting just a big windfall? How do I remind myself about the value of a dollar and realize that losing a $55 sng still stinks and I can still use the money if I win it.

cash everything out except the bankroll you need and put it in a high interest savings and act as if you dont have it..that or move up? lol

use some of it to roll yourself up to the 109s, if you feel ready, cash out the rest. Buy yourself a few nice presents, put the rest in savings.
