Session Structure
How to plan, pace, and conclude a session.
A good session has three parts: a warm-up at small stakes, a core period at your planned level, and a cool-down in which you observe without betting. Players who skip the cool-down often carry the last ten minutes into the next session.
Session length should be planned in chips, not minutes. When the chips are used, the session ends. Clock-based sessions tend to drift.
Key takeaways
- Three parts: warm-up, core, cool-down.
- End on chips, not on the clock.
- Cool-downs preserve presence across sessions.
