One or two pots over the evening all the difference?

Yeap, I usually wait for one and then I am a happy camper. I will play very tight for the rest of the night to just get smaller ones. Ofcouse it also works the other way. When I loose a big pot, I usually log off cause I know it gets to me and I can make mistakes, I do not go and try to recup my money, or the money that was once mine.

Definately.

The other night I was playing 4-8 B&M and I flopped a full house and lost.
I went home with a profit of $100 instead of $300.

This difference is ever bigger in tournament play. 1 hand can be the difference between 50th and maybe 1st!

It's also true in other things such as sports (there's alot of sports bettors on this forum who know only too well). You watch a football or basketball game.. a fumble here or a missed free throw there can make all the difference.

I'm glad you brought that part up because I did forget to follow up with that. I think this is absolutly true, one hand can change the entire way you have to play in a tournament, you just can't afford to make 1 mistake, the problem is sometimes you don't make mistakes, you just get run down by a bad call. This is why I think cash games are better for the bankroll, but everyone likes those tourneys, even me.
