Card players fold bad hands all night. Folding isn’t losing; it’s saving chips for a better deal.

Walking away from a bad position is a move, not a defeat. Staying in because you have already put something in is how a small loss becomes a large one, and the feeling that you must see it through is the expensive part. What you keep by leaving is available for the next thing.

Look at what you are staying in mostly because you already started. Ask what you would choose if you were deciding today with nothing already spent. Leaving early is quieter than leaving late, and it usually costs less.
