Leaving ring games

Hey,

I'm a new member to this forum and a fairly new player to poker. I'm not that great of a poker player and I'm here to just try and learn more about poker generally and to find ways to improve my poker.

For today I have a question. When do you think it is standard to leave a ring game? I have read somewhere before that:

You should only join a ring game with 5% of your BR maximum.
You should leave any ring game when the money on the table becomes 10% of your bankroll as soon as the blinds hit.

I think this is from Chris Ferguson's "building a bankroll from nothing" challenge and I think it's saying you should leave when you double up your original 5% maximum buy in.

How do you perceive these guidlines? Are they profitable or do you use something different?

Would you change the rule depending on your BR size to the BB limit you are playing at ratio? For example if you've just moved up to a new limit as your BR is just about big enough to do so, would you change the rule?
