Message: [QUOTE="mrmonkey, post: 1626705, member: 72028"] It will be dependent on how many tables you are playing at the same time, and whether you are actually able to beat the game. In my opinion though, there's really no way to make a goal for yourself until you know what your average profit or loss is at your current skill level. To start with, I would just play this month however you currently play and focus on keeping track of your profits/losses and number of hands played. This will then tell you what is a realistic goal to set for yourself for the next month. You won't really know if you will be a long-term winner or loser unless you've put in a lot of hands... maybe something like 25,000+ hands at the bare minimum in a single type of game (2NL in your case). You should try to calculate your win rate by the number of hands you have played, and not by session or measurement of time. Doing this gives you a more accurate portrayal of how you are really doing long term, since sessions can vary in length and each session can have huge swings. If you calculate your average profit/loss by hands played you have a much better view of your long-term profitability (or lack thereof), and it will also make you less prone to chase your losses. So for example, track how many hands you are playing each session and track if your bankroll went up or down. Then make some calculations to see how much profit or loss you made per 100 hands. Keep a running total of this to see how you are doing over the course of a month. Keep your expectations for yourself very low to start with, in fact even telling yourself it is likely you will lose. In all honesty, it IS probably quite likely you will start off losing. But if you are serious about playing poker, you will strive to learn more and become more skilled, and those losses will turn around into gains. [/QUOTE]
