im new to cash games and am messing around in the 4FL ,i play 2 tables and take 50 blinds onto each table ,i often find it difficult when to end a session,i like playing but when i reach a certain profit i seem to take my foot off the gas and tighten up,also in the game im in the small profits i have made overall are imo ok! but i,d like to know an experienced players view on what is an acceptable ,for example ,i started with about $22 after nearly 2 weeks its now at $28(huge money )
what is a realistic amount one can expect or hope to see as a sucsessfull profit(i only use this account for limit games so i use it as a br for the 4fl,i alsoknow that $22 is not enough to BR myself for this game!!)
if i was to make 25% of my BR as a profit in 6k hands am i aiming high or too low.also after playing tournies for years i find my approach to cash game play profit based ,i think this is not a good thing as i said earlier i tighten up at a certain win rate then when i make this amount i seem to look for excuses to leave the game (even when the conditions are good on the table )can anyone put me straight ???or tell me a more correct mindset from which to approach the game and or tell me what is an acceptable roi for my limit? thanks to all in advance

By 4FL you mean $0.02/$0.04 fixed limit holdem ?

At FL the amount you bring to the table is irrelevant as long as you can cap all streets if needed.

Success in cash games is not measured in terms of ROI but in terms of big bets per 100 hands, i.e. BB/100. At high stakes, 2BB/100 is considered very good for FL, but i have no clue what you can expect at micro stakes.
