NLH Tournament (MTT) / Grade 10 / Session architecture

Select the game first

In NLH MTT, seat/game quality beats a fancy late-street line. Wrong game → no chart saves you.

Worked example

soft field satellite vs tough tournament with pros — pick the one that matches your edge and roll, not the one that flatters your ego.

Common leak

sits for pride, boredom, or 'action' and calls it volume.

Drill

teach 'Select the game first' in 60 seconds using final three with pay jumps live. Then tag one live rep this week.

Coaching note

Bankroll coaching norm: downswings happen with a real edge — stop-loss and sample honesty beat heater shots. Check 'Select the game first' against it — don't recite it.

Drill

explain 'Select the game first' with a concrete NLH tournaments spot in one minute — if you stall, re-read once and retry.

Remember

Pick the game before you pick the line.
