Quit when before it becomes a losing session
Serious though, hours don't matter, keep playing until you feel you're no longer playing your a-game.

Perhaps you’re tired and you don’t want to recognize it and that’s why the game is starting to run bad. You have to start to know yourself at the tables. Although you can have time to keep playing, everyone should know how long should be their own sessions. This is not the same thing as playing consoles, in which you lose and we start again til we do it right. If we apply that strategy to poker, we will lose more than we win. Perhaps you should take a break, going to eat something, watch your email, and than you can get back again on business.

You got a nice profit. If you start feeling tired and thats impairing your game you should take a break. After a long winning strike, when you see things turn the other way around, i stop.
Try setting a goal which you will stop after reaching it.
