I would say it depends on your individual thought process. For example, I've seen people play really tight and win a huge pot. Them they start to loosen up and gamble more because hey they are up. They end up losing their profit and things go downhill from there. So if you are one of those people you should leave while your ahead and take a break.
Meh. Whatever you lose when your rungood is over you were gonna lose later anyway -- what matters is making the best EV decisions, which happens when you're playing your A-game and have a great image. THAT'S what makes you money.There is nothing wrong with leaving while you are ahead. Don't be greedy.

If you can't overcome winner's tilt by all means book the win, but otherwise it's silly.
I have been this person, when it happens I try to remember and tighten back up.I would say it depends on your individual thought process.

^Folding too much because you wanna protect your win is a form of winner's tilt.
With a gigantic stack in front of me I'll splash around with speculative stuff often, because I'm deep so I have good implied odds.
I never said I fold too much. I never even implied it. I said I protect my chips.
Many people just play every hand when they have tons of chips. They chase, spew, etc. Look at them in 45 mins, and they are all in for $57, and get felted. That is what I try to avoid.
I do not spew. I play the same way I did to build the stack initially. I might take a chance here or there on a draw, thinking of the implied odds of stacking someone.
There is nothing wrong with playing conservative when you have 3 buy-ins in front of you. I still get action when I have the goods.
There is a classic rule out of the game called "40 bet." This rule applies to the game, where the stakes are limited. Regardless of the quality of the game, you need to leave the table after 40 big bets. The exception to the rule can be called only those tables that are particularly successful. Why bet 40 and exit? This rule is designed psychologist who has studied the poker players and behavioral factor in big wins. After 40 bets begin to dominate the excitement and euphoria over common sense and at this point it is so hard to follow the game (as the logic oppressed feelings).Is it when you hit x amount? (loss/profit)
Or maybe a certain time or time limit?
Basically what kind of guidelines do you guys set up to know when it's time to cash out (or cut your losses) and just got home?
