Quitting Time
Quitting time is an agreed time to end a poker game, also called a curfew. When the time comes, the game stops, often after the current hand or round.
The simple explanation
Home games often set a quitting time so that everyone knows when to go home. Players agree on it before starting.
A closer look
A set quitting time protects players who want to leave and stops long, tiring games. Some games finish the round of play, or a number of hands, when time is up. A winner should not leave before the agreed time, which would be a hit and run. Agree on the rules before the game.
A practical example
A home game has a quitting time of midnight, and the last hands are dealt at that time.
