I just don't feel it. Is it more fun to make 30k because it was your 'goal'? Are you going to stop there? Of course not. Seems much more logical to set a goal of investing XYZ, playing your best poker and letting the numbers handle themselves. You're inventing new ways to feel bad about losing, and also setting the expectation you'll never have a downswing. Bax's $$ chart doesn't go straight up, I would bet my BR on it.

Keeping records is a much better goal.
