NLH Tournament (MTT) / Grade 6 / Grade-6 MTT stake

No HU ego early

Buddy check

Buddy shots: busting third with a 'I came to win' call is a revoke-level leak.

'No HU ego early' (NLH tournaments, G6): Chip EV ≠ dollar EV near pay jumps — name the jump before you call.

Worked example

apply 'No HU ego early' on antes forcing open-shove math. Write stacks, villain type, street, old line → new line.

Drill

teach 'No HU ego early' in 60 seconds using antes forcing open-shove math. 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 'No HU ego early' against it — don't recite it.

Drill

explain 'No HU ego early' with a concrete NLH tournaments spot in one minute — if you stall, re-read once and retry.

Remember

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