Today’s Lesson
Train the third-card decision as a risk matrix, not a feeling. Score, downside, and table context all matter.
Totals 0 through 4 are the improvement zone. Totals 6 and 7 are the protection zone. Total 5 is the context zone.
When using the matrix, always ask: how many card ranks improve this hand, hold it, or reduce it?
Practical Drill
Watch 30 hands and record score, action, and reason. Keep the reason short: improvement zone, protection zone, or context zone.
Mark every 5-point hand separately and compare how the decision changes when the banker action is different.

After studying the rules, use a clear session limit and start small.
Review Checklist
Are you treating 5 as an automatic draw? Are you drawing on 7 because of impatience? Fixing those two habits means Day 2 succeeded.
