Error-grade

'Error-grade' (short deck, G6): Confirm rankings and antes every room; don't import full-deck set worship.

Worked example

pre-session checklist — ranking, ante, one leak to cut. Post-session — one hand that violated it.

Common leak

nods through 'Error-grade', then defaults on underfull on paired board (flush>full room) the next time money goes in.

Drill

teach 'Error-grade' in 60 seconds with underfull on paired board (flush>full room). Tag one live rep this week.

Practice habit

sticky-note the trigger for 'Error-grade' before your next short deck session.

Drill

explain 'Error-grade' to your buddy without looking — if you stall, you don't own it yet for short deck.

Practice habit

tag one short deck hand this week where 'Error-grade' flips the action.

Remember

Change one short deck decision this week. Notes beat vibes.
