Quitting ahead

[JohnWilliam]

I usually play Texas Holdem online for 2 hours per day and I am getting the hang of figuring my outs and pot odds. My goal is to win 1 to 2 big bets per hour. If I play a set amount of time, I have a self-imposed limit on the number of hands based on time. I would rather limit the number of hands based on being a certain number of big bets ahead. I am pretty sure this won't work, but I cannot remember enough of my statistics to explain why. Can some whiz explain it for me? [ QUOTE ]
