Yea this (and what FP said) is pretty much how i view it as well. Losing/winning a $500-$1200 pot is pretty much whatever - i don't care either way. It has been many many many months since i was in the mode of "oh shit if i had won that $200 pot it would have been the equivalent of a 20' screen" or whatever. How much you consider a given amount of money ultimately comes down to your $$/hr over a LARGE sample. So if you win at $200/hr over 200k hands at 2/4, then $200 probably isn't that much to you. But if you play 5/10 and win at $30/hr, then $200 is alot more to you, even though you are routinely dealing with far larger swings/amounts of money in-game than the person at 2/4. 
 
So basically, you quickly learn to disregard the individual bet amounts and "stack amount" and focus on your bottom line. But you definitely learn to deal with losing alot more money easily. As i have said somwhere here before, I am better at losing an $800 pot now than i was at losing an $8 pot when i started. When i was playing nl100 i COULD NOT BELIEVE how this guy i know could handle losing $1000+ at a time playing 5/10, but now that i've played up to nl400 i realise that it actually isn't that hard at all once you are used to it.
