I find it also means i can just forget about poker at times and have a feel good factor knowing that im hitting the targets im setting. I know this shouldnt affect my play but it helps when you get a beat that you know every other day that week you've hit a target that you set.
basically i try to have 2.5 times my buy in but anything above doubling my buy in after an hours play will make me leave.
This is exactly the mindset you don't want.
