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 .
Been too deep and carried away is not good, aside addiction, it can even lead gamblers to making too many more loses in gambling, there is nothing as good as having the ability to stay in control of a game not necessarily to run away from the game.
Addition on the other hand does not only happen to those who get carried away with money, I think it is very important for us to correct that notion, anyone can become addicted to gambling, weather those who are in love with the money or those in love with the game as long as we dont all learn to play with discipline and self-control. I am also the hit and run player.
