I totally agree with this (for my play at least). I found myself drawn to the 3 reel babies in KC and spent way too much of my winnings playing at the $5.28 and $8.88 level because of the potential. After that I avoid them like the plague because of the temptation.
For me, I end up playing higher bets at M&Gs because I save M&G BR by not spending much at the locals. My trips to the locals are mostly about seeing if I can turn minimal FP and maybe $100 a trip into additional BR for the next M&G. I'm most comfortable at max $2 machines but at a M&G will also go as high as $4 bets and an occasional $1 video slot $9 bet if I'm ahead. At last year's AC M&G, I got so much play all weekend from that TW at Harrah's betting $1.60 and that was so much more fun than having to invest hundreds into a machine at a higher bet only to get a nice win that only brought me back to even.
I say do what makes you happy Dina and is economically comfortable. You're a smart woman and I don't think you'll ever put yourself in a position where you find yourself in serious trouble.
