When do you guys leave the poker table? Do you set a certain time or a certain amount of money you have won/lost as the time to leave?

I play $10-20 HE at MCC and $5-20 spread limit 7 card stud when they deal it. My rules for leaving the table, as agreed upon by me and my wife, were determined after I went to the casino after work on Friday afternoon and left at 10:30 am Saturday morning. Needless to say, the only thing that kept me alive was coming home with a healthy profit. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Anyway, my rules are:
1) Up over $200 when I have to leave the "must move" game to go to the main $10-20 table due to a vacancy there and I'm next on the list.
2) (Weekdays) Up over $200 and I'm getting a run of cold cards.
3) Six hours of play.
4) Out of cash on hand and knowing that returning from the walk of shame (aka withdrawing from the ATM) will do me no good. (Note: I have made that walk *ONE* time in two years and to a good result. I was on the business end of a very long streak of cold cards and I decided, correctly, that I could fight through it.)

These rules have led to an average rate of slightly less than 2.5 BB/hr and a wife much less inclined towards homicide.
