When you're on a "rush"

I usually play low limits, 3-6, 6-12, etc, I was playing 3-6 for a few hours and grinding away, up about $80, and then I got on the roll of the lifetime, got a nut straight, set of queens, and then full house, out of 4 straight hands. then I was still winning pots after that but not for much money as the table was scared and not giving me action. So I am up about $340 at this point and I knew I should have left then, maybe after a few more hands. I just knew it. so after this point, after a few junk hands, I kept getting nice hands, A-Q, A-K, etc, and just about every hand I had an ace, nothing was flopping though, although if I did unwisely stay in, I actually would have won a few pots, but I couldn't stay in. then 1 hand, this was a monster pot, I have 4-4, all big cards on the flop, and with raises I have to fold, lady flops a straight, turn the board pairs, river is a 4, and I would've won with a full house, but it would have been a really bad call on the turn even. anyways with these great starting hands, I couldn't win anything , I was now up almost $200, so I decided to leave. Now my question is this, when you are just killing a game, do you want to stay or leave the game.  this happens to everyone so I am curious to your experiences. seems like every time I go on a rush and win a lot, it evens out, you go cold, you get bad beats, etc. It is hard to leave when you are up though unless you have to leave. I try to always leave with a profit if I can, but it seems like I usually give back a chunk of the profits when I win big.

its hard to leave when u are up...sometimes (although im a asshole and dont have enough discipline) if im up maybe 150 and i get to up 50 ill go...or something like that

 

sometimes though if im up mybae 150 and maybe i dont get cards for a few rounds around the table and i have +120 but havent had anything in a while maybe its time to go

 

 

who knows...sometimes you make a comeback sometimes you go up more

 

im sick of poker

I guess you would have to set a % or "figure" where you would cash out, like if you won $300, then you were up say $250, then you cash out. some times there is just a sign, where you flop a nut straight, cap the pot on the flop, and a douche catches a 4 high runner runner flush on the river, and he calls the capped pot on the flop with no real draw, no pair, etc, and you just say WTF? if you are winning good at this point, it's time to go. poker is such luck sometimes that even if you play good then it's hard to win sometimes when these ouches catch their miracle rivers.
