-the game isn't good anymore
-you aren't playing optimally
i.e. you're tired, hungry, frutration, etc.

In a cash game it's all one long session.

I also find it difficult to leave when the game is good. I often stay when I'm too tired. I notice some consequences when doing this. 1) I don't play as well 2) I’m really tired for a few days and end up losing out on valuable family time.

BB/hr. is the way we measure success.

I would qualify this by saying BB/hr. is the measure for live play, BB/100 hands is the measure for online play. (Nitpicky, perhaps, but true. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] )

You win 2BB/100 at one game but can only play 2 tables for approx 100 hands/hr. In another game you are 1BB/100 but can 6-table it getting about 300 hands per hour. Which one do you play?

-The game does not hold a positive edge for you. Either because your opponents aren't bad enough, you're too tired to focus, you're tilting, whatever.
-Real world obligations force you to quit. I.e., food, work, wife, masked gunmen, etc.
-You run out of money.

Don't forget:

-Continuing precludes engaging in an even more +EV activity. I've satellited into $100+ buyin tournaments before, I'd pass up a good $3/$6 game in order to make sure I was rested enough for them

True, but it could be argued that your actual EV in the cash games is much higher. In my case, it could be emphatically proven. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
