You are absolutely correct, but I don't recall you ever saying anything in support of win goals. LOL

By the way, I use different win goals in live poker. I know that doubling or tripling your money represents a very big win in live poker. That means buying into a $100 and leaving with $300 is a nice day's work. The player who left this morning with $600 had to buy in twice ($200) and had to make up for previous losses. So $600 represented a nice move back to the positive side of the ledger for him. He didn't want to risk losing it back-- because he has money to play again and probably tonight.

I told you this before but you pooh pooed it. I said if I set a win goal of $500 playing $5 Aces and Faces I could reach it almost every time I played. I've hit $500 profits many times in many sessions, but I am not travelling to a casino just to win $500 at VP and quit.

If I won $500 playing poker at the casino that's fifteen minutes from my house, I might go out and buy a new computer... which is what I did a week ago. LOL
