Do you stop playing a game once you've got the badge?

I realized something while playing a few games on Pogo for the badges. When I finally reach what I need to get the badge, I quit. I usually quit because I'm pretty tired of playing the game because I do like to play the game for as long as it takes to get the badge if I can help it. So I am usually pretty frustrated by the end with the game.
However, today, one of the personal challenges that I was doing, once I got the badge I kept playing the game. I really do not mind the game so I guess that's why I wanted to keep playing for awhile.
What about you? Do you play until you receive the badge or do you stop once you get it?

It depends on the game. More often than not, I do stop playing the game. I enjoy both the games for this weeks challenge - Tri-peaks and Jungle Gin, so I kept playing even after I got the badges. I don't really care for free cell or the solitaire games, so quit playing as soon as I get the badge.

As soon as I get the badge, I'm done with the game. It's not because I don't like it (well, sometimes it is!) but there are other games I'm working on at the time and I'm ready to get back to them. Now and then I might stick around to keep playing if I'm close to the next rank or a game badge. Then as soon as I've finished that, I'll move on.
Sometimes I do get sick of the game. There's a reason I don't play Quick Quack that much!

I get so tired of the game I'm playing after I get the badge I quit for quite a while. It's so annoying and half the time it's really hard to concentrate on the game when I've played it for so long. So I am one of those people that stop playing the games after I get the badge. like that stupid scrabble game. I gave up on the game after a while.

It depends on the game. There are some that I really like and others I do not and just play it for the badge. And then there are others I reallllllly do not like and know it will take me so long to do the badge that I will not bother. But I may play one game so often that eventually I get bored.

It depends on the games. There are a few games that I only play when there is a badge. Others, if I like them I will play for the rank badges. Yesterday I got my first rank Badge in Addiction Solitare.
But now that I re-read your question, I think you are asking if we continue to play after we have won the weekly badge. But, still it will depend on the game. If it is one of my very favorites, like World Class Solitare or Majong Safari, then probably. Also, if I know I am not far from a rank badge, I will keep playinh until I get it. I have won two badges in the same day sometimes..a rank and weekly (or premium).

usually i just stop after i get the badge, but sometimes a badge will hook me on a game, like the jigsaw badge, that badge made me put it on my favorite games. but alot of games like canasta that i couldnt even learn how to play i just bail out on the badge.
