As for the problem of "hit-and-running", I just think about how much more money I could be winning if the game is good and I continue to get the cards I need.

As for the problem of staying because your stuck ... if the game is good and if you are playing well, I don't think it's a problem, but those are steep ifs for a lot of people.

Put another way; there is nothing wrong with saying, "I lost money today, therefore I will keep myself in a +EV situation instead of reading at Starbucks like I was originally going to." I do this all the time, though if I feel tilt coming on (or, in a B&M if the game turns tough) I quit immediately, even if I'm even more stuck than I was when I first made the determination to play extra.
