Never leave when you double up unless you believe the players are better than you and you got majorly lucky. if your winning on that table why would you leave your letting more profits slip through your fingers.
Also, some excellent advice there. Limiting the number of hours you play limits how often you tilt. People tend to play their longest sessions when they're losing & tilting.When I play full ring, I pick a number of hours I will play. I might stay if I am having a good session and the game is good. (Loose and paying off better hands) A lot of guys will hang in when they are losing and play longer when they are not winning; when they double up they quit and won't continue. I like having a big stack and using it against players; so I won't leave when I double up, especially if it happens early in a session.
There are only 2 "poker" reasons to leave. You should also probably leave when your girlfriend shows up in sexy lingerie, but that's obvious.
1) To prevent tilt from hurting your win rate.
2) There are no more easily exploitable players at your table.
Leaving because you've doubled your buy-in is crazy, because that usually means there are bad players at the table and now you can win even more from them when they make mistakes because your stack is double its normal size.

I see your point, and if I was deep on another reg, I think you'd have a really good point there. But even if I was uncomfortable playing deep stacked, I'd still stick around if the table fish had 200bb's as well.If your not comfortable playing deep then that's a perfect reason to leave a table and then re buy for 100 bb else where.
Deep play takes alot of skill and different approaches to the game so it shouldn't be dismissed.
It is difficult for me to accept any reason to leave a winning table. If you are doing well and you believe you are better than the other players, then the advise whould be to play on and just not let fatigue set in. This covers the first point above.1) To prevent tilt from hurting your win rate.
2) There are no more easily exploitable players at your table.
