A similar effect of the "bored" one happens with this but for different reasons. This often happens more post-flop. If you are chasing draws in questionable situations, it might be because you are telling yourself, "if I hit this I will make a ton!" And if you hit, you might just do that. But by exposing yourself to those sorts of situations, you also might just lose a ton—not only by not hitting but by perhaps by the other player hitting something bigger than you. This also comes into focus when slow-playing hands that aren't the stone cold nuts. Yeah, you [I]were [/I]good but you allowed the other player to draw to something bigger. Simply because you were greedy and trying to make the most. So "you win some; you lose some" could turn into "you win lots; you lose lots". And your chip count graph starts looking like a seismograph in a California earthquake.

Play more controlled. Be happy with the pots you can get for the least amount of crazy risk because you are trying to grab too much.
