Small Fish First
Small fish first is the default session plan on this site: warm up on low targets until miss cost is obvious, then decide whether any larger chase is worth a written budget.
Bankroll article: small fish bankroll. Notes: session notes.
Why Small Fish Teach Faster
They fall more often, so you see hit and miss cycles without melting the stack on one silhouette. You learn how contested finishes feel. You learn your stake step.
A Simple Plan
- ◈Half the time box on small fish only.
- ◈One mid target inside a small budget.
- ◈Boss budget defaults to zero until practice is calm.
- ◈End on small fish or stop.
When to Break the Plan
Almost never mid-tilt. If you break it, rewrite the card before the next session, not during the spray.
| Order | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Small fish | Pacing |
| Mid fish | Controlled test |
| Boss | Optional, often skipped |
Things Worth Remembering
Small first is a plan, not a superstition. 18+.
