I'm that hit and run guy. When I play I usually fold early most of the time and wait for that one good hand where I can put more money on the line.
When I win I usually give up and take a break until I feel like playing again. It's important to know when to quit and not get too emotional.
This is a good thing that you are a cautious player and do not get carried away behind money easily. Else it would have being that you would have become addicted easily to it and thus may have ended up losing easily if got carried away from it .
