No way. Since, if you are playing for the money, you should *always* only be playing when you have an edge, this consideration is nearly irrelevant as to when you quit. Yes, sometimes you have a huge edge over the opposing lineup, and sometimes your edge will be lower than average, but the advice that some people give that you should continue to play as long as you have an edge is just nonsense.

One thing is to discover at what point in your play, after how many hours, your game begins to deteriorate. If this commonly happens at six hours for you, be inclined to quit after six hours, unless your edge in the game is so much greater than the norm that continuing is clearly a good idea.
