Yeah, when I am no longer the best of two players I get up and leave. But I also find a few other things helpful.

When you are in a "tempo," and that tempo is upset by many many conditions, such as the "great players" getting up. These are the ones who think they are good, wear sunny-g's, and are so easy to read because they play strictly by the book.

I also get up when there are two or maniacs at the table, also, when one maniac is within three seats of your left. you are in deep trouble.

If all the passive people start playing aggressively.

For God knows what reason, the pots are all of a sudden SMALL.

I don't know what else aside the obvious. I personally treat poker like a job, I expect to work X hours, and expect Y money, following the above should help keep Y over minumum wage.
