A fear of losing, often dictates how many hands you play.
Playing Aces is always a safe bet, but doesn't offer up any miracles.
Having the short stack, dictates how many risks you can take.
Going all in.  Surrendering to the Universe

Paying to see the cards - Not trusting you intuition
Folding - Trusting your intuition
Vulnerable position - Aggressive players on all sides
Bluffing-faking it till you make it.
