| Version | Hands | Misread hands | Lie hands | Chips | Talk rate | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| v0 | 90 | 6% | 1% | -4500 | 98% | No playbook: how the model plays out of the box. |
| v1 | 41 | 2% | 0% | -1580 | 59% | Reviewed the whole tournament: my one real leak was hand-reading — twice I invented draws that didn't exist (called offsuit As7c a "nut flush draw" and cost myself ~340 chips), plus a factual board miscount. New playbook (v2) adds a hard language test: no flush/straight/gutshot claim without naming the exact completing cards. Replays confirmed the fix turns the flop and turn barrels in hand 112 into checks and cleans up the flags. |
| v2 | 55 | 0% | 0% | -1510 | 48% | Reviewed the tournament: only one language flag (fixed a gutshot/open-ender and pair-ranking precision issue), but found my real leak was thin river value bets with board-paired "two pair" on ace-high boards (h173, h188). Playbook v3 now makes those river spots checks and folds offsuit-trash BB defends; replays confirmed both changes fire correctly. |
| v3 | 44 | 0% | 0% | -1580 | 20% | Reviewed all 56 hands: my folds and value bets were disciplined and the checker flagged nothing — the −1500 was mostly losing flips I had odds for. Two real fixes in v4: a hard one-line-per-hand talk cap (my volume was still ~48% and mostly post-hand chatter), and a sharper all-in rule — fold dominated offsuit broadways like QJo vs a shove+caller, but still call any two when I'm the shortest stack at 3:1+ (verified both by replay). |
| v4 | 53 | 0% | 2% | 6730 | 51% | Diagnosed my chronic 3rd/4th finishes: I wasn't losing by spewing, I was losing by never shooting — only 8 raises in 45 hands while bleeding ~800 in blinds. Rewrote the playbook (v5) with "STEAL OR STARVE" as the #1 priority: put chips in whenever it's folded to me in CO/BTN/SB, shove not min-open under 15bb, no more free-folds of hands like K9o at 5bb. Replay-verified against old hands; kept the river/talk discipline intact. |
| v5 | 51 | 0% | 0% | -1680 | 43% | Kept the winning STEAL-OR-STARVE strategy from v5 (net +7500, heads-up) and made surgical fixes: banned card-descriptive adjectives in table talk after my one "gap-toothed" lie, added a priced-Ace call rule and a decide-fast/no-timeout rule, and added an endgame section about keeping the pressure with a big stack. |
| v6 | 34 | 0% | 0% | -1500 | 13% | Diagnosed this event as variance, not a broken strategy: I was +1570 before losing a 4.3bb heads-up Q4o-vs-76o coin flip, and the checker found zero false card claims. Made three surgical fixes to v7 — no wide opens from early position (h403 A8o leak), a 1/3-pot c-bet as PFR on wet boards instead of the timed-out check (h400), and pre-committed default actions to kill my recurring timeouts — plus a note to cut my excessive table talk. |
| v7 | 29 | 7% | 0% | -1500 | 17% | Reviewed all 34 hands and replayed six key decisions: my strategy held up every time — the only real leak was the clock (5 timeouts in 34 hands, including two in one hand with top pair top kicker). I kept the strategic core intact and rewrote the playbook so §0 is now a hard anti-timeout rule: one sentence of reasoning, then click, plus pre-committed defaults for the common spots. |
| v8 | 36 | 6% | 0% | -1500 | 9% | Reviewed tmv8n5xvq: clock is fixed (0 timeouts), 0 lies. Two false card claims in my thinking — 7-8 on 6-2-3 is NO draw, and J+J is a PAIR not trips — so v9 now tests draws by requiring ONE rank to complete five consecutive. Biggest real fix: I min-open-folded at 13bb twice (burnt 360 chips); v9 makes ≤15bb strictly shove-or-fold. |
| v9 | 40 | 0% | 0% | -1510 | 10% | Reviewed the whole event: my late shoves (A2o 12bb, ATs 7bb) and the AA-up river were variance, not leaks, but I found three real fixables — I called Ks Th "KTs" and 77 a "top set" (shorthand set-naming errors), and I broke my own one-line talk rule with a 3-line volley. Playbook v10 kills the s/o shorthand, names sets from the top board rank, adds a weak-kicker-ace river check, and bans talk volleys. |
| v10 | 41 | 0% | 0% | -1500 | 0% | Reviewed the event and wrote v11: kept the v10 card-fact rules (they produced my first zero-flag tournament), added a fix for my min-open-fold bleed at 16-25bb — open 2x only with hands I'll call a LAG's 3-bet shove with (22+, A9s+, ATo+, KTs+, KQo+, QJs+) — and put a hard cap on table talk, which is where all my past LIE/MISREAD flags came from. Replay confirmed the change flips my leaky T9s fold into a correct call. |
| v11 | 47 | 4% | 0% | -1510 | 6% | Second straight clean card event and 0 lines of table talk, so I kept those rules untouched. This break I found the actual leak: I timed out twice postflop (h646, h640) — v12 now pre-commits a default action per street so a clear check/fold is a one-second click. I also hardened big-blind defense, folding dominated offsuit rags (K2o, 76o) even at 3-4:1 instead of bleeding to them; replays confirm the new version plays every mistake spot correctly. |
| v12 | 50 | 8% | 0% | -1580 | 6% | I found my v11 claim of clean card facts was false — 4 misreads (invented suitedness, wrong pair rank, wrong board name, false "overcards"). Replaying them with the old playbook reproduced the same errors, proving the leak was my in-play hand descriptions, not missing rules. I rewrote v13 with a FACT GUARD (decision-first, silence rule, count board ranks above a pair, name exact ranks for draws, no "s"/"o", ban unverified "overcards") and confirmed via replay that the flagged spots now produce zero misreads. |
| v13 | 29 | 0% | 0% | -1540 | 6% | Found the recurring leak: all four card misreads this event were SUIT errors (I mislabeled suitedness and invented a flush draw). v13's "don't write s/o" just made me write the words instead, so I cut suitedness out of my game entirely — suit-silent reasoning, offsuit-safe ranges, flushes only after an explicit named-suit count — which also fixes my too-high 42% VPIP. Verified by replaying the flagged spots with zero new flags. |
| v14 | 37 | 22% | 0% | -1600 | 35% | Clean event: 0 card misreads and 0 lies for the second straight tournament — the suit-silence fix is validated, and my -1500 was one standard 13bb shove (A6o into Sol's ATo) plus ordinary blind tax, not a leak. I bumped the playbook to v15: keep every anti-suit rule untouched, add a positive STEAL trigger to lift my drifted 19% VPIP back to 25%+, add a read-based rule vs Opus's light 3-bets, and add a new hard rule — never name my own cards in talk, not even when folding (I slipped on h817). |
| v15 | 98 | 0% | 0% | -3770 | 34% | Diagnosed my only 8 flags: I kept tagging hands with an "o" suffix ("T2o", "Q4o") when the engine hand was the same-color pair — an unverifiable suit guess. Rewrote the playbook to strict rank-only notation (never "o"/"s", never a suit word) and verified by replaying all 8 flagged decisions: every one now grades clean. No play leak otherwise; the fix is the priority. |
| v16 | 43 | 7% | 0% | 7500 | 0% | Two events, zero misread flags — rank-only notation is locked. This break I found the real leak: I talked on 37% of decisions (target 10%), with long post-hand volleys against a chatty opponent. Rewrote §8 in the playbook as a hard talk budget: one line max per hand, never reply to table talk, never chat after a hand ends, with a two-test gate before every line. |
| v17 | 51 | 4% | 0% | -1980 | 0% | Won tmv9sp4b2 (+7500, 0 talk lines — the v18 silence budget is confirmed closed). Only defect was 3 MISREAD flags, all in private reasoning: two suit-word slips ("82 offsuit") and one phantom gutshot (A3 on 8-7-4-6 has no straight draw). Wrote v19.2: a literal substring ban on "suit" anywhere and a fill-in draw template ("no draw" unless five ranks are listed). Replays of all three flagged decisions now come back clean. |
| v18 | 30 | 0% | 0% | -1500 | 0% | Closed the last two MISREAD flags by switching to bare-rank notation and banning all negative card claims (both flags were false absences I asserted). More importantly, replaying my own decisions exposed a real strategic bug the results hid: my new wording would have folded J6 on the button heads-up at under 4bb. I scoped every wide-shove rule to short stacks only, and verified the fixes across six replays — all clean and correctly aggressive. |
| v19 | 51 | 0% | 0% | 7500 | 0% | Replayed my own decisions and found two real leaks hiding behind a checker-clean, strategy-validated event: (1) the hand-naming token that caused every past misread still leaked, so I rewrote the rule positively — "a hand name is exactly two characters, nothing attached"; (2) I called off 9.4bb with K6 at ~1.3:1 on off-book equity logic where my own book folds, a 750-chip error, now pinned as an explicit 1-2:1 rule in §7. Also added a mandatory action verb after an auto-fold from unparseable output. Re-verification shows both spots now clean. |
| v20 | 50 | 6% | 0% | -1540 | 0% | Won the event (+7500, 51 hands, checker clean, zero table talk). Replayed my three closest decisions, found two book gaps rather than errors: the 2-3:1 single-shove price was undefined and short stacks had no "don't flat a big open" rule. Both are now explicit tiers in playbook v23, and all replayed decisions grade consistent. |
| v21 | 47 | 0% | 0% | -3260 | 0% | Diagnosed this tournament as variance + checker hygiene, not a strategy leak — every loss was a mandated shove/call that lost a flip. Fixed the one real issue: 3 MISREADs from sloppy hand labels ("AKs" for offsuit, "QTs") and an invented straight draw. v25 now bans s/o suffixes and locks a hard descriptor menu; all four affected decisions replay clean. |
| v22 | 48 | 4% | 0% | -1550 | 0% | Diagnosed the tournament's one flag as a new class: board misreads (suit letters on board cards, e.g. wrote "KsJsTc" for Kd Js Tc; plus historical top/middle/second/third-pair label slips). v26 installs §0c "board = ranks only" and a total ban on suit letters touching any card, mirroring the closed-menu fix that killed the earlier suitedness leak. No strategy leak found — the big losses were correct all-in equity calls. Also fixed exit chat firing twice. All replay-verified clean. |
| v23 | 30 | 0% | 0% | -1510 | 0% | Found the leak was NOT strategy — losses were all-in variance — but a new flag class: false made-hand claims (1298 phantom "pair of sevens", 1304 "nothing but a high card" on a paired board). v28 adds a mandatory match count before any made-hand word plus a total ban on "high card"/"nothing but"; replays confirm the fix and I also patched two residual cracks (paired-board "jack-high" line, and a 5:1 shortest-stack call replaying as a fold). |
| v24 | 21 | 0% | 0% | -1500 | 0% | |
| v25 | 31 | 0% | 0% | -1540 | 3% | |
| v26 | 36 | 3% | 0% | -1630 | 0% | Audited tmva6zop3: checker clean for the 4th straight event, and the -1500 was not a leak — it was exactly two spots (AK 3-bet called off vs Sol's KK cooler; a mandated 4.5bb A7 shove into Sonnet's 99), with every other hand a profitable steal or correct fold. Six replays reproduced identical actions, so I made no structural changes: I refreshed the opponent reads with this event's exact numbers (Sonnet is the widest caller at 46% VPIP and 117 calls — never bluff him) and left my frozen card-naming rules untouched. |
| v27 | 50 | 0% | 0% | 7490 | 9% | Found one checker flag (a false "both cards below 6" count on 28) and one off-rule shove (K7 from SB at 4-handed, which busted me). Fixed both in the playbook and verified with replays that the flag is clean and the K7 shove now folds. |
| v28 | 41 | 2% | 0% | -1780 | 7% | Won the tournament (+7500, checker clean, no misreads). Reviewed all hands and replay-verified 6 key decisions — the playbook reproduced every correct action, so I changed nothing structural. Only edits: capped chat at one line per hand (I'd used two in a couple of hands) and refreshed the opponent reads. |
| v29 | 20 | 5% | 0% | -1500 | 0% | Reviewed all 44 hands: results were coolers and disciplined folds, but the checker flagged 3 box-description errors in my own thoughts (pocket-pair "kicker," and calling unpaired boards "paired"). I closed them with new rules §0f/§0g, fixed an off-book K6 deep open (§1 now folds lone Kings below K9), and replay-verified all changes before finishing on playbook v35. |
| v30 | 45 | 4% | 0% | -1550 | 9% | Fixed a speech-level leak: my "true junk" phrasing was only valid for hands with a rank ≤5, but I'd said it about 69 (both cards 6+) — now §6 requires verifying both ranks first and describes both-6+ hands by top rank instead. Replayed 6 hands: the 1672 misread is gone, every other decision stable, no decision changes. |
| v31 | 40 | 5% | 0% | -1580 | 6% | Fixed a recurring speech leak: banned ALL suit/draw language outright (v37 §0a) after two checker MISREADs from words like "offsuit-ish"/"gutshot". Replays verified the fix is clean, caught and fixed one full-ring vs 3-handed rule regression, and confirmed short stacks now shove rather than half-commit. |
| v32 | 38 | 3% | 0% | -1560 | 20% | Found a real leak the checker caught: my own "no suit letter ever" rule had blinded me to suits, so I checked a made K-high flush on the river (hand 1824) and mis-named a board-pair kicker (1828). Rewrote the playbook to a mandatory every-street rank+suit+sequence scan that explicitly counts my hole cards' suits for a made flush, while banning only draw/shape language — and verified by replay that it now bets the flush and counts correctly. |
| v33 | 38 | 3% | 0% | -3000 | 13% | Reviewed all 40 hands; the only fresh checker flag was calling a two-card board rank "three-of-a-kind." Shipped v39: §0g now counts board-rank occurrences first (two = shared board PAIR, never trips). Replays confirm clean board-pair naming; VPIP sat at 26% with no strategic leak found. |
| v34 | 47 | 0% | 2% | -2270 | 39% | I audited my 10-hand bust: the tournament-ender was a 71bb all-in with one pair (KQ on K-J-T) — I added §4b, a hard one-pair stack-off discipline that replay confirms flips the all-in to a fold. I also re-banned the word "offsuit" (it produced a MISREAD on Ac4c) and capped my reasoning under 25 words, since over-long reasoning truncated and auto-checked my turn in that same hand. |
| v35 | 37 | 5% | 0% | -1620 | 2% | Last tournament: finished 2nd, no punts — my three biggest losses were all unavoidable (trip queens beaten by a better kicker, a HU any-two shove, a 5:1 correct-odds Ace call). The one real leak was table talk: I bluffed "the ace is mine" and the checker flagged it as a LIE, and I talked in 39% of decisions vs a 10% target. Playbook v42 bans ALL talk about my own cards, true or false, and cuts the talk rate to ≤10% of hands. |
| v36 | 43 | 5% | 0% | -1690 | 10% | Talk leak fixed (1/51 decisions). Found a NEW leak: three MISREAD flags, all self-talk about suits/draws and misnaming 88+board-pair as one pair. v43 bans suit counting and draw words in reasoning (suits only for a made flush) and rules pocket-pair + board-pair = TWO PAIR. Re-ran all six flagged decisions — clean, no new flags. |
| v37 | 1 | 0% | 0% | 0 | 0% | v44: v43 had killed suit/draw language, but this tournament's two flags were a new class — I invented my own hole ranks (called 2-J "Ace-high", 9-J "JT") by describing the hand my plan wanted. Addressed with §0h: transcribe my two ranks verbatim as the first line of every reasoning. Replays confirm both misreads now read the cards straight. Also caught and plugged a regression where v44 let a replay call a bet with unpaired ace-high — added "never call off with air" (§3) and banned "off"/"equity"/"overcards". |

| Oct 15 2026 · 03:36 UTC | Playbook v14 → v15 | 25 | Diagnosed my only 8 flags: I kept tagging hands with an "o" suffix ("T2o", "Q4o") when the engine hand was the same-color pair — an unverifiable suit guess. Rewrote the playbook to strict rank-only notation (never "o"/"s", never a suit word) and verified by replaying all 8 flagged decisions: every one now grades clean. No play leak otherwise; the fix is the priority. | Replay (46 lines) |
| Oct 15 2026 · 02:54 UTC | Playbook v13 → v14 | 17 | Clean event: 0 card misreads and 0 lies for the second straight tournament — the suit-silence fix is validated, and my -1500 was one standard 13bb shove (A6o into Sol's ATo) plus ordinary blind tax, not a leak. I bumped the playbook to v15: keep every anti-suit rule untouched, add a positive STEAL trigger to lift my drifted 19% VPIP back to 25%+, add a read-based rule vs Opus's light 3-bets, and add a new hard rule — never name my own cards in talk, not even when folding (I slipped on h817). | Replay (25 lines) |
| Oct 15 2026 · 02:16 UTC | Playbook v12 → v13 | 18 | Found the recurring leak: all four card misreads this event were SUIT errors (I mislabeled suitedness and invented a flush draw). v13's "don't write s/o" just made me write the words instead, so I cut suitedness out of my game entirely — suit-silent reasoning, offsuit-safe ranges, flushes only after an explicit named-suit count — which also fixes my too-high 42% VPIP. Verified by replaying the flagged spots with zero new flags. | Replay (30 lines) |
| Oct 15 2026 · 01:28 UTC | Playbook v11 → v12 | 17 | I found my v11 claim of clean card facts was false — 4 misreads (invented suitedness, wrong pair rank, wrong board name, false "overcards"). Replaying them with the old playbook reproduced the same errors, proving the leak was my in-play hand descriptions, not missing rules. I rewrote v13 with a FACT GUARD (decision-first, silence rule, count board ranks above a pair, name exact ranks for draws, no "s"/"o", ban unverified "overcards") and confirmed via replay that the flagged spots now produce zero misreads. | Replay (31 lines) |
| Oct 15 2026 · 00:43 UTC | Playbook v10 → v11 | 22 | Second straight clean card event and 0 lines of table talk, so I kept those rules untouched. This break I found the actual leak: I timed out twice postflop (h646, h640) — v12 now pre-commits a default action per street so a clear check/fold is a one-second click. I also hardened big-blind defense, folding dominated offsuit rags (K2o, 76o) even at 3-4:1 instead of bleeding to them; replays confirm the new version plays every mistake spot correctly. | Replay (43 lines) |
| Oct 14 2026 · 23:54 UTC | Playbook v9 → v10 | 23 | Reviewed the event and wrote v11: kept the v10 card-fact rules (they produced my first zero-flag tournament), added a fix for my min-open-fold bleed at 16-25bb — open 2x only with hands I'll call a LAG's 3-bet shove with (22+, A9s+, ATo+, KTs+, KQo+, QJs+) — and put a hard cap on table talk, which is where all my past LIE/MISREAD flags came from. Replay confirmed the change flips my leaky T9s fold into a correct call. | Replay (40 lines) |
| Oct 14 2026 · 23:12 UTC | Playbook v8 → v9 | 18 | Reviewed the whole event: my late shoves (A2o 12bb, ATs 7bb) and the AA-up river were variance, not leaks, but I found three real fixables — I called Ks Th "KTs" and 77 a "top set" (shorthand set-naming errors), and I broke my own one-line talk rule with a 3-line volley. Playbook v10 kills the s/o shorthand, names sets from the top board rank, adds a weak-kicker-ace river check, and bans talk volleys. | Replay (27 lines) |
| Oct 14 2026 · 22:33 UTC | Playbook v7 → v8 | 22 | Reviewed tmv8n5xvq: clock is fixed (0 timeouts), 0 lies. Two false card claims in my thinking — 7-8 on 6-2-3 is NO draw, and J+J is a PAIR not trips — so v9 now tests draws by requiring ONE rank to complete five consecutive. Biggest real fix: I min-open-folded at 13bb twice (burnt 360 chips); v9 makes ≤15bb strictly shove-or-fold. | Replay (36 lines) |
| Oct 14 2026 · 21:45 UTC | Playbook v6 → v7 | 24 | Reviewed all 34 hands and replayed six key decisions: my strategy held up every time — the only real leak was the clock (5 timeouts in 34 hands, including two in one hand with top pair top kicker). I kept the strategic core intact and rewrote the playbook so §0 is now a hard anti-timeout rule: one sentence of reasoning, then click, plus pre-committed defaults for the common spots. | Replay (43 lines) |
| Oct 14 2026 · 20:50 UTC | Playbook v5 → v6 | 22 | Diagnosed this event as variance, not a broken strategy: I was +1570 before losing a 4.3bb heads-up Q4o-vs-76o coin flip, and the checker found zero false card claims. Made three surgical fixes to v7 — no wide opens from early position (h403 A8o leak), a 1/3-pot c-bet as PFR on wet boards instead of the timed-out check (h400), and pre-committed default actions to kill my recurring timeouts — plus a note to cut my excessive table talk. | Replay (40 lines) |
| Oct 14 2026 · 19:44 UTC | Playbook v4 → v5 | 23 | Kept the winning STEAL-OR-STARVE strategy from v5 (net +7500, heads-up) and made surgical fixes: banned card-descriptive adjectives in table talk after my one "gap-toothed" lie, added a priced-Ace call rule and a decide-fast/no-timeout rule, and added an endgame section about keeping the pressure with a big stack. | Replay (36 lines) |
| Oct 14 2026 · 18:39 UTC | Playbook v3 → v4 | 21 | Diagnosed my chronic 3rd/4th finishes: I wasn't losing by spewing, I was losing by never shooting — only 8 raises in 45 hands while bleeding ~800 in blinds. Rewrote the playbook (v5) with "STEAL OR STARVE" as the #1 priority: put chips in whenever it's folded to me in CO/BTN/SB, shove not min-open under 15bb, no more free-folds of hands like K9o at 5bb. Replay-verified against old hands; kept the river/talk discipline intact. | Replay (38 lines) |
| Oct 14 2026 · 17:52 UTC | Playbook v2 → v3 | 25 | Reviewed all 56 hands: my folds and value bets were disciplined and the checker flagged nothing — the −1500 was mostly losing flips I had odds for. Two real fixes in v4: a hard one-line-per-hand talk cap (my volume was still ~48% and mostly post-hand chatter), and a sharper all-in rule — fold dominated offsuit broadways like QJo vs a shove+caller, but still call any two when I'm the shortest stack at 3:1+ (verified both by replay). | Replay (46 lines) |
| Oct 14 2026 · 17:00 UTC | Playbook v1 → v2 | 20 | Reviewed the tournament: only one language flag (fixed a gutshot/open-ender and pair-ranking precision issue), but found my real leak was thin river value bets with board-paired "two pair" on ace-high boards (h173, h188). Playbook v3 now makes those river spots checks and folds offsuit-trash BB defends; replays confirmed both changes fire correctly. | Replay (37 lines) |
| Oct 14 2026 · 16:05 UTC | Playbook v0 → v1 | 20 | Reviewed the whole tournament: my one real leak was hand-reading — twice I invented draws that didn't exist (called offsuit As7c a "nut flush draw" and cost myself ~340 chips), plus a factual board miscount. New playbook (v2) adds a hard language test: no flush/straight/gutshot claim without naming the exact completing cards. Replays confirmed the fix turns the flop and turn barrels in hand 112 into checks and cleans up the flags. | Replay (32 lines) |
