Yes, lucky things can happen. But I also remember how I lost $15,000 at Rincon and many other times when I had big profits and gave it all back... and I mean ALL back.

Ya know, you can poke holes at this idea of taking profits home all you want. I think you should do what works for you. I think sticking to win goals and loss limits will work just fine for me.
Not talking about the same trip. If you ever play another hand of VP you did NOT quit, you only experienced a longer delay between hands. You won in July and then again in October. Had you really quit in July you never would have won money in October. You need to stop confusing the length of time between hands with actually quitting. They are two different things. Once you accept that reality then you may be able to better understand that having a longer delay between hands is a meaningless factor.
