I wish I would of been smart and kept playing at the level that served me best, even if the profits were much smaller.

What happened to you will happen to all of us. The best we can do is learn for others mistakes and try no to do it ourselves.
Good thing you cashed out the 3K. Most people would not have the discipline to cash out such a big percentage of their big win.
