Knowing when to quit is a very easy question for me to answer as I set goals at the start of every cash session.

- How many hands do I want to play?
- How much money am I willing to lose?
- How much money is considered the end of a hot streak?

Once I start making those goals, as soon as one of those three is hit I stop.  If I suffer a bad beat but I'm within all three parameters, I put it behind me and keep playing.  If I feel like my decisions are becoming emotional, I'll pause, not stop, and regroup.

Too often people sit down at the table without a plan and either end up going on a big heater, only to give most of it back, or they start spiraling down and can't stop because they want to win it back.  Setting guardrails for yourself ensures your sessions are managable, defined and it becomes easy to know when to stop.  Because it's not an emotional decision to stop - just like playing poker shouldn't be emotional when you're in a hand.
