Haha, a valuable lesson indeed. while what your'e saying is true, you need to understand that cashing out a game prematurely and watching the game actually play out according to your prediction also has its own painful experience and regrets too. You'll literally wanna hate yourself for being impatient and wished you had just trusted yourself more. this has also happened to me a couple of times and i can say that the experience wasn't good at all, it was almost as if not cashing out and losing everything on the process would have been a lot more preferable, Lol.
I believe i get what you are trying to say but IMHO, i don't think i will ever feel like losing everything would be more preferable than losing some of the money, simply because i could've won the whole money but didn't because i cashed out early. No matter the angle i try to look at the whole thing, having a single slice of the cake will always be way more better than not having anything at all. at least I'll get to recover my capital, which is more important to me.
