Couldn't agree more.
To relate more on my side of things I used to play alot of online poker, when it came to playchips I can (and have recently) turned 1000chips into 50million plus without going bust, mostly because I'll make very rare calls, bluffs etc. Whereas when I play for real money, although I can (and regularly have) turned $50 into $500+ I did fail to make alot of calls, whether I took to long to make decisions that I got forced to fold, or because I just couldn't bring myself to make a call of someones bluff due to the money at stake.
If and when I decide to invest in shares, I'll initially do it very small, probably doing the penny shares with a startup investment of around £50 (£40 worth of shares after broker) then as the years go buy drop in drips & drabs of cash that aren't of significant loss if I lose.
