Evidence-first poker learning
Holdem Method turns poker concepts into deliberate practice: make a decision, record why, see the evidence boundary, and return to the pattern that needs work.
Situation
Button vs. big blind · 100BB
A decision is useful only when its assumptions stay visible.
Your reasoning
“I chose the smaller size because the board is dry.”
Review
Check price, range, and what changes on later streets.
The learning loop
01
Build the concepts and assumptions first.
02
Make the call before seeing feedback.
03
Keep the original context, reason, and confidence.
04
Train the error pattern, not the short-term result.
Scope with honesty
Virtual chips only
No real-money play, table connection, or wagering workflow.
Replayable rules
A seeded TypeScript engine owns cards, actions, and settlement.
Evidence labels
Benchmark, approximate, and solver claims stay separate.
