NLH Cash / Grade 11 / Long-run literacy

Sample gates

Shot criteria include sample honesty. Heaters aren't samples.

Worked example

shot criteria require N hands and error-rate trend — heater week alone never qualifies.

'Sample gates' (NLH cash, G11): Thin value vs payers; bluffs need a coherent prior-street story.

Common leak

can recite 'Sample gates' but can't show a hand where it saved chips in NLH cash.

Drill

teach 'Sample gates' in 60 seconds using 100bb BTN vs BB single-raised wet flop. Then tag one live rep this week.

Drill

buddy repeats 'Sample gates' in one sentence with a concrete board — or you re-teach.

Practice habit

sticky-note the trigger for 'Sample gates' before your next NLH cash session.

Practice habit

tag one NLH cash hand this week where 'Sample gates' flips the action.

Remember

Change one NLH cash decision this week. Notes beat vibes.
