I see several people here who use the signature function to state a very specific goal and report their progress (example: $2,400 by August 15, $1,683 so far).

A GOAL like this seems like it could benefit a person's play, simply by keeping them focused and looking at the big picture.

Anyway, I'm having trouble setting a reasonable goal for myself. I'm worried that my play doesn't seem consistent enough to set a goal. Perhaps just setting the goal would help make me more consistent?

My play is such that I'm ahead over $500 on the tables since April 1, 2005, plus there's a lot of bonus money fattening the BR. Some days I win <$50, and some days I lose $50, but mostdays I either lose a small amount, or win ~one buy-in. (playing NL$25). I don't think I've lost more than $50 in a single day. My total BR is ~1,900 counting my original buy-in and bonuses.

Anyway, based on the above: If I've won ~$500 on the tables in 4 months, would it be a reasonable goal to TRY to double this amount for the next 4 months (i.e. win $1,000 more by Nov 30)? Should I set a different goal that includes bonuses (i.e. Total BR $3,500 by Nov 30)?

I'm looking for suggestions (general or specific)?
