Is there an etiquette on when to leave a cash poker table?
Just been watching some pretty high stakes on here and thinking about my own experiences with cash as well - is there a time where it is right or wrong to leave a table?
Of course I am talking about when you win a big pot or few on the spin and then leave to protect your new stack/BR. I haven't done it as I don't play high enough levels and like to keep going anyway when on a winning run but is it considered bad 'etiquette' not to let someone have a chance to win their lost money back or is simply tough luck and it's (mostly) their fault for losing it?
Interested to find out peoples thoughts...

Live? Yes, there's certain rules to follow. Probably better off following what people tell you. Or get involved in a shoving match. I've been there.
On-line? Do whatever you want mate. Everybody else does. Sit at a table with some of Sky's best if you're in the mood. If you double up, sprint for your life. I've been there too.
I've been lots of places.
I was at 50/100 with lolu et al. As I'm prone to do at times.
Yes it is bad "etiquette" to leave, and inparticular some live players will get rather grumpy about it. However thats why i play with the same group of Live players. They know money wise im not that strong, and they also know ill probably donk the money back to them when they tilt me next time.
Although this is why i wont play cash in a casino.
There are not any imo... You can leave when you wish. However, if you have amassed a nice stack it is courtesy to tell them that you intend to leave in 1/2 hour or after another round of betting for example.
Id rather play cash in a Casino Don, than anywhere else imo. Its secure and monitored.
And also they reason i dont play in the casino is the last time i upped and left as i do, a guy had a massive go at me, as a result ive never returned, i usually would just give it back but he was alot bigger than me lol.
Consistant Hit n Runners are not appreciated by a lot of cash players either live or online. People will generally not get that upset at it however unless you establish a pattern looking for quick double or tripple ups then leaving to go do the same on other tables. If you have to go or just don't want to play anymore then no i don't beleive it's bad but if you jump onto tables to do a shove monkey move, double and leave then yeah thats not very nice.
but nice or not it's perfectly within the rules. People who see you do it often may decide to sit out of games you join but that is then their choice to do so
