I think you make a good point.
You guys aren't really arguing mutually exclusive points.
It should be based more on when your play deteriorates too much.
For less experienced players, you should set more of a bi stop loss until you're comfortable spotting when you need to step back.
And for a lot of people, the swings are hard to take.

There's no other game in which fortunes can change so much from hand to hand. A brilliant player can get a strong hand cracked, go "on tilt" and lose his mind along
with every single chip in front of him. This is why the World Series of poker is decided over a no-limit Hold 'Em table. Some people, pros even, won't play No-Limit.
They can't handle the swings. But there are others, like Doyle Brunson, who consider No-Limit the only pure game left.
