SirPercival:
I think my wins/losses are starting to effect the way I play. That"s why I"m taking some time to think more about my game.

Artificial stop-wins or losses do not make sense.
If you"re winning, why stop? If you"re losing due to some bad luck, but playing well, why stop? If you"re losing and not playing your A-game - then yes stop by all means. If you"re winning, but you"ve been lucky, or you are getting too confident, or the players at the table have changed and it"s suddenly a lot tougher - then yes, stop.
If you"re tired and it"s affecting your play - stop. Same goes for if you"ve had a few.
Arbitrary stop-limits will just reduce your potential profit.
There is an argument for stopping after you"ve scored a decent win, if it"s off the back of a bad run. Or if the amount you"ve won at the table means a lot to you (and is large in proportion to your bankroll). Then it might make sense to stop.
Is this what you wanted to hear?

I"m just a sad lonely poker player who wanted someone to talk to - so you could say yes. :D

I just need to find a way of not donking off my money after I get a win. Stopping after a win seems like a good option.

Basically what Kin said
If the game is juicy and you are winning - do not stop.

Nothing wrong with this but sometimes you can think too hard to the point where its not possible to play your best game..
