PLO 8 or Better / Grade 6 / PLO8 population and quarters

Quarter error log

'Quarter error log' (PLO8, G6): quarters are the silent bleed — tag them harder than coolers.

Worked example

three-low flop, 2nd-nut low + weak high — control; nut low + live high — press.

Common leak

Buddy leak ('Quarter error log'): 'I have a low' as a complete reason multiway.

Drill

Drill ('Quarter error log'): tag one quartered river and write the earlier fold that prevented it.

Coaching note

Hi-lo coaching staple: an 8-low or better must qualify — know the house rule before you chase halves. Check 'Quarter error log' against it.

Practice habit

sticky-note the trigger for 'Quarter error log' before your next PLO8 session.

Drill

buddy repeats 'Quarter error log' in one sentence with a concrete board — or you re-teach.

Remember

Avoid scoopless middles.
