I'm not saying don't look at results, you know +- a BI anyway playing 4 tables I'm sure. The point is the money can't be the goal, playing hands/optimal tables/tourneys or w/e is the goal. you'll think plenty about the money anyway. Again, ask yourself what you're getting out of setting a money goal. I guarantee you'll remember to try and win money regardless.

setting a hand goal and meeting it is something you can do every week and pat yourself on the back. Even better, this goal feels much MORE rewarding when you have a terrible month and meet it anyway.

If you don't want a volume goal, how about something you can do every session? It sounds like you think you play too tight, so every session over X hands try and make one bluff or thin VB you would not have made 3 months ago. Then expand to 2, etc.

Also I say this to everyone whenever they ask anything but learn some new games, maybe take one sess a week and play something else. It will make your poker brain a lot better and may make HE seem less dull and grindy.
