Greed (cash)

One of the things you need to be profitable in poker are players who are weaker than you. If you can find a table where weak players are playing, than you should be able to make money off them. In this series of examples, I found a player who I knew I could take advantage of. I was able to win a large pot and double my starting stake. However, my greed took over and I decided I would stick around to try to make more money. What can happen is that you may no longer get lucky and begin getting unlucky. You can also begin to make bad calls or allow players to get lucky off your greed. I should have gotten up and been happy with my session, but instead, my winning session became a losing one.
