The major problem with the mind games that you are playing with
yourself, is that you only have an "upper" goal, which if attained,
will cause you to cash out. When you determine that you will take
your profit at a certain level (higher than your current credit
amount) you should also determine a "lower" or "stop-loss" level,
which if reached, will also require you to cash out, still a winner
if a slightly lesser one.
I term this a "mind game" since most of us realize that if we are
going to play more VP, but at different machine, that mathematically
it makes little sense to cash out and move. However, my take on
this commonly employed, non-scientific VP strategy, is that, if it
makes you "feel better", possibly you will also play better,
therefore enchancing your chances of winning. At any rate, you are
probably not harming your chances in any way, other than in the
playing time lost while moving to a different machine.
I occasionally play this silly game myself. But I always determine a
stop-loss first, so that it is not possible for me to squander all
my nice winnings by attempting to "even off" my profit.

loosing till you have lost everything you have won for your session
