Statement: Announcing "I am leaving after this round" or "I am leaving after X minutes" or words to this effect is, in ordinary circumstances, a leak.
True or False?

It can't be too good because you're giving away information about your mindset. However, in some cases it can be good etiqute to negotiate when a game breaks. | |

It depends whether you have arranged for a period of time that you have to wait after announcing you're finished playing. |

I think its a huge tell...sounds like a sore point though IMHO. I would set a time or break point before we start and then annouce I gotta go at that time. Then cash in and be gone. | |

It pleases the poker gods: at a 1/2 game in Vegas last month, the guy to my left announced before the deal: "This will be last hand". He hit a royal flush on the turn, stacked someone, and won a high hand bonus. | |
