Do you have a winning target?

[Heatman]

Whenever you're playing poker, do you have a winning target that you focus on meeting? What's your target like? Do you set a weekly winning target or bi-weekly or monthly target?

If you don't meet your target when you're supposed to, do you keep playing until meet it or stop to carry it over another time?

I always have a "session target" when I start playing poker, and I think any good player should have outside of tournament play.

The session target may be to double my bankroll if I'm on a relative "high-roller" table for me, or if I'm playing low stakes it may be to 100x my buy-in. My golden rule is simply that as soon as I hit that target, I finish my hand and stop playing. I've seen and heard of many players playing beyond their targets, suffering a full-on tilt and losing everything.

I have a goal in my mind, but I don't have a timeframe on which I need to complete my target. If you focus on results it can be bad for your game.

It's quite necessary to have a winning target because it will direct your poker playing sessions. Players should establish financial objectives before the game and that include bankroll targets and buy-ins so they can exit when they meet these targets.

Winning goals can help you plan your poker strategy and bankroll management. It is important to make realistic goals and consistently play towards them and never deviate from your plans.

To maintain discipline and remain focused during a poker session, it is always better to have a clear target. And it is also important to adjust your target based on the situation at the table too.
