    How to deal with 'scary' money?

    Hi,

    I played on full tilt poker and won a step 1 ticket, eventually I won till I came to step 3 ($28) ticket.
    Now I used that ticket for a big MTT with a huge prizepool 1st was $75000 and 2nd was $45k
    I was incredibly scary at the beginning, I had no idea how to handle the stress.
    I even went several times to the bathroom 5 min before the tournament would start.
    It was horrible, I was way to tight, couldnt do anything.

    This was a long time ago but I would like to see how you guys handle it, when you are scared.
    Any advice that I can get helps me!

    Thanks,
    KnifeHunter5 / ac13

    If the money scares you its a very good sign you shouldn't be playing that tournament. Its alright to take some shots, but if it effects the way you play its too big.

    wow, I can only imagine you playing a live tourney. Using the bathroom 5 times before the game is a little overboard to me but hey I don't do anything that makes me nervous or scared.

    No! if I lose 1 dollar on pokerstars, that is much worse for me than 1 dollar in real life (i know kinda stupid)
    I could easily go to a casino with 50 bucks in my pocket, than I can go to a cash/tourney with 50 bucks.

    Btw, I never play live.
