From Spot Trainer to Session Review: A Weekly Action Loop

Short Answer

Trainer sessions are for repetition, not replacement. A weekly loop transfers behavior from simulation to table.

Track grade changes, error distribution, sample coverage per tag, and top three repeat mistakes.

Do not expand scope just because score improved; expand after real execution validates stability.

What if trainer improves but table performance stays flat?

Usually a transfer issue: timing, sample size, or execution collapse under stress. Tighten scope and rebuild from fewer nodes.

Is two nodes per week enough?

For most stable learning phases, yes. Quality and repeatability are more important than breadth.

Do not review only the final decision. Check ranges, sizing, SPR, board changes, and opponent response street by street.

GTO study often fails when too much changes at once. A better method uses one node, one concept, and one review metric at a time.

Small sample reads are noisy; exploit changes need strict thresholds and automatic rollback criteria.
