I tend to go through a period of denial when this happens. I reroll and reroll and reroll like 5 or 6 different times telling myself "Well maybe it was just that class" or "Well maybe it was just that race" or "Oh I just went about this the wrong way" over and over until I finally get to "Yeah........this eats fat red babboon anus". Many a monthly fee has been wasted trying to convice myself that a bad game was anything but.
Thanks to all, you have been very helpful and I appreciate your responses. I was suprised to see the single majority response was a few hours. But it was clear that most of the community (from this sample at least) would give a game at least a couple days. I wonder if the "few hours" group maybe is more lax on their requirements to try a game, maybe more willing to give anything a chance. And thusly run into more games they dont enjoy.
In the end though, my answer was found.

To realize it: Maybe a few hours
To finally accept it: Sometimes a month or more

Really depends on the quality of the game imho---
If its high quality and well put together game-- least a week.
But if its chump free online play like knights online-- 10 minutes.
Usually the first impressions are the most important but I'll give a game a couple of nights play before I bin it as a dud
