One-session loop

Turn the idea into one decision rep.

  1. Before the answer Before reviewing a hand, write the spot label: nut advantage.
  2. After feedback List the hands that can comfortably play for stacks before choosing a big bet.
  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 nut advantage, write the decision you would make before seeing feedback, then review two or three similar hands so the pattern has a chance to stick.

Assuming range advantage and nut advantage are always the same.
