PLO6 / Grade 1 / Start filter

Position mandatory

'Position mandatory' (six-card PLO, G1): Six cards multiply second-best ways to die — nut paths and freerolls first; non-nut stacks control.

Worked example

apply 'Position mandatory' on non-nut flush facing a pot jam. Write the board/doors, villain type, old line → new line, and why.

Common leak

nods through 'Position mandatory', then defaults on non-nut flush facing a pot jam the next time money goes in.

Drill

teach 'Position mandatory' in 60 seconds with non-nut flush facing a pot jam. Tag one live rep this week.

Practice habit

sticky-note the trigger for 'Position mandatory' before your next six-card PLO session.

Drill

explain 'Position mandatory' to your buddy without looking — if you stall, you don't own it yet for six-card PLO.

Remember

One cleaner six-card PLO decision from 'Position mandatory' this week.
