There are times you would be counting your winnings and smile. Then the following morning? It could be an empty feeling, like when a battery drains. The adrenaline crash was serious that day. It’s similar to when you receive your salary and then, you start to pay rent, data, food and some other things, then all the money is gone..After a big win I just feel blank and restless. Maybe because tension finally leaves the body. I don’t even celebrate long again.
 
It's been awhile since I experienced what I consider a big win, because of my game selection.

However, I've had a few of them in my history playing poker, and I cannot sleep afterwards.
 
I feel it's all about training your mind, always have it in the back of your mind that there is life after that win, there are still things i need to sort out, so this actually helps me stay grounded.
 
I am not against gloating over my wins, if I experience adrenaline rush after a big win, I will let that experience get strong hold of me. I don't win frequently, and even when I win, it is a very small sum, therefore, when I finally win big, I just celebrate it.
 
I try not to treat a big win like proof I suddenly played perfectly. I step away, reset, and let the excitement settle. Staying grounded helps me avoid chasing that feeling and keeps my next session focused.
