Anyone else find that there is an optimum time for staying at a table, before giving back any gains you've made? I'm using a kitchen timer set for half an hour, which is stopping me going into a trance and playing on autopilot (and having other players getting a read on me)

I only leave a table when it turns sour and the donators who made the game worthwhile have been replaced by better players. How much you are up or down is mostly irrelevant and shouldn't affect your decision to stay or leave, so don't worry about "giving any gains back". Also don't worry about other players getting reads on you as most of them don't know enough about the fundamentals of poker to adjust their play appropriatly to yours. Also since the other players are probably playing more hands than you are you get reads on them faster.
Still if you find that you go on tilt after being on the same table for a while then do what you have to do. But I recommend you fix this problem as you could end up passing on good tables.

You're at the table to take money from the fish. When they leave, check to see if they have other tables running, or if they are moving.
I start thinking of leaving when there are 3 fish at the table; when there are only two, Im gone. Unless there is an uber-fish, playing every hand all the way to the river.

there is a logical reason for leaving if you're "up". If you've had some bad runs in the past few sessions, leaving on a positive note can really help your mentality, settling for a small win can work wonders sometimes.
Leaving on the basis that "you might start losing" is a gambler fallacy.
