Annie Duke said that Howard Lederer told her to quit a session once she lost 30 big bets. I think his/her reasoning is that if you've lost that much at the tables it could be because you're getting bad cards, or playing not that well, or just playing better players. The real downside to this is that the other people will see that you're on this big downswing and might start taking shots at you because emotionally you could be a little more fragile than 'normal'.

I reload after a bad beat or whatever, but if I feel that the players are a littlepushier than usual, and I'm kinda flustered after the beat, I'll leave ASAP.

PI I believe was talking about B&M cash games. Which makes sense since you see a lot fewer hands than online. I mean online you can see more hands in 1 hour than what a B&M player sees in 8. Assuming you multitable and the tables are fairly fast.
