Your goals in tournaments ?

Are you aiming for the jackpot or is it important to come up with a profit ?
For me, as a beginner, I find it difficult to play for the Grand Prix, so just play on place paid .

Hi
My goal is victory, that is, first place. But my main goal has several stages. The first stage is ITM. The second stage is the final table. The third stage is the first place.

when I choose a tournament, I first expect to make money, if I hit, then the next goal is the final table

Hello, Falai_san! I agree fully with You in one: first of all necessary try to hit in prize zone, but further, by my opinion,
need to struggle only for Grand Prix--1-st place! Because the Victory inspires on the future Victories! So, step by step!

The goal is to win one of the first three places, when you reach the last breath, ambition becomes the first place

I have been playing professionally for years. For me, the most important thing is that I be able to be profitable in the tournaments that I play.

I have never entered a game, especially an MTT thinking I am going to win, It would be nice but I am a realist, in that my first target is the Money bubble, If I can make the money then I am happy, I tried my best and achieved what I wanted.
Then my thoughts change to Laddering up to the next pay Jump, and the next, and the next, and so on, My sights always on the next Prize, if I achieve this I am already in profit and am really happy getting closer and closer to the Final Table,
It is only when I make the Final Table that I begin to think about Winning the top prize, after all I have made it this far, Why not go all the way?
Winning an MTT is really nice, and regardless of the Prize money, it always fills me with a feeling of achievement even if that prize is $20 or $30 Dollars in a Freeroll or $200 to $300 Dollars in a buy-in game, nothing beats the feeling of being number one.
That is the reason for me to play Poker! Not the Money! The feeling of being Number one! The money just goes straight into my Account and bankroll.

The first objective is to earn money, the second is to earn as much money as possible.

Surely, the goal is to be the winner of the tournament. But thinking about that from the beginning of the tournament you might have to face an early exit. So, for me: ITM, top 50% of the remaining field and above average stack, final 2 tables, final table and obviously the number one spot.
