-When it no longer becomes profitable over a long stretch. This will vary greatly for different people depending on situation/what you want out of poker. So for me, if i was unable, for whatever reason, to make much over $100/hr after playing seriously for several months during my "time off", i'd just go back to school (probably still play part time) because for me that wouldn't be enough incentive to delay schooling any further (i make a little over this much now, so the difference between playing full time and playing part time while in school would not be worth it at all). But if i was to make say $300/hr+ then i'd seriously consider taking another year or more off to save money, since the benefits of being set up with a mortgage free house would far outweigh (imo) the benefits of being done school 1 or 2 years earlier. If you make $40/hr at your job and only $15/hr at poker, then it may not be worth it unless:
-Enjoyment. If you continue to enjoy playing poker then there isn't much point to quitting even if you are breaking even. But if you don't enjoy the game and aren't seeing enough profit to outweigh this lack of enjoyment, then there isn't much point in playing.
 
So all you have to apply is a pretty simple cost-benefit analysis IMO to see if playing poker is still worth it for you.
