What I noticed when I'm winning a lot is I tend to push everything to its limits, and see whether it can still provide me with more winnings until I hit a cold streak. From that point forward I become extra greedy, and try to recoup the losses to my previous winnings until I lose it all. That is how I turned a $2000 winnings from a $5 deposit into a $100 withdrawal. Since then, whenever I double my money, I instantly withdraw my initial deposit and play until I lose or until I win. I also change tables/games after a big win because there is this thinking that the same table/game will try everything to get my winnings back.

Self-control really is a valuable asset that everyone should have when they are gambling. It's least talked upon but it will save a lot of fortune to a lot of people looking to win.
