The old adage is that the casinos want to keep you playing for as long as they can, because the longer you play the more chance you have of losing your money.

The idea when playing Poker is to play what I would call the hit and run. which means you set a target goal of what one can expect to win that is within reason in the limit game you are playing in. Of course if your random distribution of the cards is a winning distribution one certainly should continue to play until that is no longer occurring. The rational behind this is if you only play till you hit your targeted goal , you avoid the increased risk involved with the continuation of further play and you avoid the cost of that play in the form of the Blinds.
