Getting crushed after cahsing out

[Zybomb]

I personally think the cash out curse is due to your mental state.

You are up, thus you are playing more aggressively. You are seeing more flops, you are stealing more often, and you are playing back more often. This in turn will lead to big pots for you, but also for big swings in the opposite direction as well. When you buy in for 200 and sit at the 1/2 tables and are up 600, yopuhave 800. You may drop 150 dollars on some aggressive play, still end up with a nice session and not realize you just dropped 150 bucks. If you drop that when you only have 200 you notice it.

Now imagine winning that 600 but cashing it out, then playing the same style youve begun playing, losing that same 150.... it looks a lot worse now.
