I'm saying this as a thoughtful recommendation (hopefully it comes off that way). I'd ask yourself what are you so scared of? This is purely psycholgical at this point. Everyone knows scared money = dead money. Is there some aspect of your game you're not confident in? Work on it. Play smaller stakes. I mean, if you're enjoying how you're playing, then go with it, have fun, but from your post it doesn't sound like you're having fun. You sound overly timid and scared.

I'm scared of putting myself into -EV situations because I've forced my opponents to play more or less correctly against me. I would rather wait patiently for a chance to get my money in as a big favorite instead of when I don't know where I'm at in the hand.
