I would prefer don`t plan any numbers.
The best way is to follow your strategy. If i would get today 1% profit, tomorrow - 3% and next Saturday - 20%, it would be good week.
Or, this is a much better stratey. No hurry and you'll just gamble in a slower phase without having the needs to push yourself in reaching those gains that you're in sight.
The best plan is to make your job excellent. If it is so, you will get profit. But don`t think about numbers.
I had bad weeks, when i lost more than won, i had normal weeks, when profit was 2-5%, i had excellent weeks, when profit could double my bankroll. Just make your job and don`t care about numbers.
The worst thing in gambling you can do is to plan profit. It means that you will do your best to reach planned numbers. But the same time it means that you will increase risks, bets, etc. You will break your own rules.
Expectations hurt so much when they are not met. Having some high expectations can make one not appreciate small wins while still getting emotional unnecessarily. When a gambler plans ahead what profit he wants, it raises his expectations. If he doesn't get that or even got something below his expectations, it would hurt him.
Exactly. But this is not the only reason. The same time you need to make some changes to get planned profit. It can help you to get profit, but mostly you will make mistakes.
