Because sometimes you don't always know whether your 50BB hit is because you suck or because you've had bad luck. When in doubt, move on. It's also a table image thing--if I'm running well I can get away with bluffs FAR easier than I can if I'm down.

On the other hand, if the reason you're down 50BB is that all the chasers keep hitting their 3-outers on the river, then by all means, kick your feet up and stay awhile [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

Yep, and this is normally the reason you are going down fast. Whatever you do, they never fold and then... they always catch. Yes, you will get a bad table image and yes, you will probably play a little worse BUT you are sitting with really bad players. Always hard to know if u should leave or not.

If they are bad in a passive way I always stay but if they are bad in an aggressive way I sometimes try to leave, bad table image against aggressive players will get you in a lot of turncheckraisetrouble.

I agree -- I am MUCH more inclined than before to leave due to heavy aggression on the part of my opponents, whether or not they are fish. If they're complete maniacs, then I'll stay, but if it's just that their *often* super-aggressive, but not always, then hell, I know I can do better at a passive table.
