I do the setting limits at the casino. Lose half or double up and I'm out. But one problem I find in home games especially with friends is if someone is up $600 everyone says they are hit and running if they leave. How do you guys deal with that, not wanting friends to feel like you hit and ran on them?

When i play at 4NL If i double to 8$ ill keep playing, if my stack goes down enough when i see my stacks is has a 5$ sign showing, ill get up and leave with my little winnings.
If i keep growing and get past 10$ ill keep playing until i get below 10 bucks then ill leave
same for 15
same for 20 you see my pattern? It lets me keep playing until I give back a certain amount then once i hit my limit ive set Ill move.
This is just so I can leave a winner.
On occasions if the table is SUPER fishy and spewy and I did just get unlucky I will stay since Im sure I can get back my chips and more.
Thats what I do

I think that the strategy is to set a budget in order to know where you want to be. You may reach your budget or not, if you do that doesn't mean you have to leave the table. If you are playing well you may continue, until you feel your "lucidity" has ran out. However for some people is hard to measure the level of lucidity, but it's quite easy, you have to report to yourself quite often, speak to yourself if you are playing well, reading players efficiently. Actually a good way is to note if you are loosing the showoffs, that simple. If you are you retire.
Going back to what i said at the start, the budget. If you don't reach it and you feel your lucidity is out, simple you retire. With things like this you don't have to think twice, because if you do and decide to stay there is a big chance you end up loosing your stack.
And one more important thing to said which should be quite obvious but almost nobody follow it, if don't feel smart/lucid don't play! Do something else, go to run, i don't know, there're plenty of things to do in life and by doing them you won't forget how to play poker, actually you will play more efficiently.
