My personal rule is 5 BI and if lost go home. It has happened once in my life. Likely I should go with a rule: lose three buy-ins and go home.
Of course I also have rules about not drinking when/before playing for real money.

Tighten up after getting sucked out for the 5th one. 7 is fine.

These kind of posts make it painfully obvious what a f'ing nit I am compared to most of you, and I'm by far the biggest gambler and most likely to burn a few buy ins kind of guy out of my circle of friends. 7? 5? I'm done after 3 and it doesn't happen that often at all. lol 
It's all about the math. How much is the buy in, how many free drinks do you get, how much would those drinks be at a strip club? Do the math. Pizza doesn't count.

LOL no joke. My 3 biggest single-session losses ever have been at meetups, and probably none of my top 10 winners (miraculously, I'm still up overall for meetups, somehow.)
For a $1/$2 game I usually bring $800-$1k, but I only remember actually being in for more than $500 once (brought $1k, was in for all of it and down to $94 at one point, ended up cashing out $530 - sure was glad I brought that last buy-in!)
The .25/.50 $60 max game where the majority of buyins are $20 is another story. I've been known to be in to that game for $400 (easily double anybody else's record) and wouldn't even bother showing up with less than $200 - nobody ever folds!

60.00 buy in, quadrupled up 20 minutes in with a low straight in plo

That is what worries me when the next meet up I can attend happens.
Running my stack up a bit...
I finished down $6 but I had at least $50 worth of fun. Up and down kinda night many draws I felt I had to call that didn't hit. Great chips, even better people!!!!

Lot of fun indeed Mike! I ended up +4 buy-ins after being -2 buy-ins early on...
Second orbit of the nigh (PLO), four stacks were in the middle by the turn... Flopped straight, top set, open ender to a bigger straight and my nut flush draw + gutter... DD's straight dodged everything for a quadruple up...
GG guys!!!

My 2/3 for a 6 high straight was the winner in a 250 pot, lol.
I finished with a profit of 180. Should have been 280 but so be it. Great company, great night. Thanks for bringing the whiskey for me to sample.
No worries man!
Yeah, you did a great job picking your spots well and staying out of trouble... I almost folded to your 3-barrel bluff there, the 3rd to a flush was definitely not the card I wanted to see on the river...
And speaking of the Laphroaig Quarter Cask, man, even this morning it kinda felt to me like we played poker by the campfire... I still could feel the smokiness in my mouth...
It is really weird but even though I did not drink any Laphroaig I can smell it still in my mind's eye (nose?). It really is very unique.

I normally bring 5 buy ins. Two are for loaning out
I feeling a little extra frisky last night
I bring $1500 to my weekly games with an initial buy-in of $200. But the game has ever increasing stakes. If I go busto early I rebuy for 2-300, but if I bust out late, I may rebuy for $500 or more. More commonly I just add-on a hundred at a time. I hate playing short-stacked.
