When to use this guide

  • You know the spot type but want a cleaner reason for the decision.
  • You want practice prompts before opening a trainer session.
  • You need related concepts to review after a missed hand.

One-session loop

Turn the idea into one decision rep.

  1. Before the answer Before reviewing a hand, write the spot label: bet sizing.
  2. After feedback Before choosing a size, write whether the bet targets folds, worse calls, or pot building.
  3. Next review Save one cue you can reuse in the next trainer session away from live play.

Start with one spot

Do not try to solve the whole topic at once. Start with one spot that matches bet sizing, write the decision you would make before seeing feedback, then review two or three similar hands so the pattern has a chance to stick.

Mistake to watch

Sizing by hand strength alone without considering the whole range.

Drill it

Before choosing a size, write whether the bet targets folds, worse calls, or pot building.

Practice prompts

  • Before reviewing a hand, write the spot label: bet sizing.
  • Before choosing a size, write whether the bet targets folds, worse calls, or pot building.
  • Save one repeated mistake label for tomorrow instead of adding a new topic immediately.
