Depends on how much I am up , Amount of Hours ive been at the table or Just the Overall Action at the table.

if Im at a 1/2 and Double my buy in ...Usually if I don't see anymore action after 2 hours I walk. This varies when it comes to 2/5 Because 2/5 there is always action. So usually if my Win/Loss ratio comes into play , If Ive been doing nothing but bleeding chips then I'll get up even though I hate leaving the table down but it keeps me from forking in another buy in and tilting myself.

For me it is only time (it is necessary to sleep sometime:)), and if it is serious that a prize of some sum which seems to me weighty concerning my bankroll. Here should be another reason - the loss of some percentage of the bankroll, but I do not know how to stop - and so once again yesterday merged his bankroll,although it was necessary to end the session when he lost 1/3 of it!

Usually I stop playing when I'm starting to feel tired. You can't make good decisions at the poker table when you are sleepy. I usually play late at night so its easy for me to end my sessions because its usually past time for me to go to sleep.

Playing time

Well it can be for the time I've been playing, if it's hours I stop, also depending on the good or bad run you have, sometimes even if you're very good at playing cards are not on your side, at that time a couple of games and if nothing I better retire a couple of days.:stoned:

Normally if I'm on a cash table, it is time restricted. Other reason would be my game is off that day. I don't mind playing on a losing session as long as there reads are right. If i'm getting sucked out, it is just part of the game.

I walk when I lost my buy in limit. If I walk up then it usually went I have a feeling I’ve lost momentum, table broke, too many new player or I had a hot run and feel it could be awhile before I get premium hands

Normally if the table is too tight and can't seem to get hands, or if I'm all around doing bad (tilting), I will end my poker session and will not return until I have cooled down.

Usually because I need sleep to go to work . Unfortunately I don't have what it takes to be a pro , so I still have to work for a living .

When I start making mistakes. Usually, tired or hungry. If I like the table, I try to minimize breaks and play until I start to lose it mentally.

It's going to depend on what happened during my session. But you have to take breaks anyway to have a cool mind in the face of important draws.

My opinion

I like to end my poker session when I believe I have earned my government check. It probably doesn't matter but it helps me to stay on-line. There are a lot of factors involved. Like getting rid of hard players so the donkey can win and BSing so the table believes its something worth fighting for. The players get a little scared but when you show up for your restaurant work, weather a patron eating or a waiter or dishwasher, they seem to cash in by the meal they eat. Remember waiters and dishwashers can win too. I do this at Bellisios in Duluth, Minnesota. At least it seems to help it rain.

Hi.
Normally, I stop playing when I feel that I am very emotional when I have a bad mood or when I am tired. In other cases, poker brings me pleasure.

Well it seems everyone stops for the same reasons...lack of sleep, more sleep, bad runs, tilting, and lost bankroll. Yep pretty much says it all. I am all of these.

Hello.
Everything is simple. When I am tired and I want to sleep I stop playing.

I finish my poker session when I feel tired or when I feel like I'm playing badly
