Standard 1
Every new spot must name position, street, player type, leak, concept, and next drill.
Phase 5 / Library Depth
Build the drill library like a training product.
Phase 5 turns Smart Poker Lab from a working trainer into a deeper decision library. The focus is taxonomy, coverage, high-quality feedback, and conditional strategy language rather than raw page count.
Current Coverage
Phase 5 targets are measured by usable training coverage.
| Library Area | Current | Phase 5 Target | What improves |
|---|---|---|---|
| Practice Spots | 404 | 400-500+ | Add 3-bet pots, river decisions, multiway, short-stack, and live exploit packs. |
| Range Trainer Spots | 126 | 120+ | Expand vs 3-bet, squeeze, cold-call, and blind-defense decisions. |
| Daily Workout Spots | 60 | 60-90 | Rotate top pair, C-bet, river, player-type, and math workouts. |
| Pot Odds Drills | 100 | 100 | Cover bet sizes, all-in calls, turn draws, dirty outs, and bluff-catcher prices. |
| Deep Hand Reviews | 25 | 25+ | Upgrade to street-by-street pot sizes, range shifts, quizzes, and next drills. |
| Core Concept Pages | 15 | 15+ | Rewrite concept pages with examples, tables, training questions, and related packs. |
Training Taxonomy
Every new spot needs enough labels to route feedback.
| Dimension | Allowed Values | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Position | UTG / MP / CO / BTN / SB / BB / BTN vs BB / SB vs BTN / multiway | Position decides range width, realization, and who owns postflop pressure. |
| Street | Preflop / Flop / Turn / River | Street tags let Progress recommend whether the leak is range selection, board reading, turn planning, or river discipline. |
| Pot Type | Single-raised pot / 3-bet pot / 4-bet pot / blind battle / multiway / short stack | Pot type changes SPR, commitment pressure, bluff frequency, and value thresholds. |
| Board Texture | dry high-card / low connected / paired / monotone / two-tone / turn scare card / river blocker | Texture tags connect Study Mode, Board Texture Atlas, and C-bet drill packs. |
| Concept | range advantage / nut advantage / thin value / blocker / SPR / pot odds / equity realization | Concept tags connect articles to a concrete practice pack instead of leaving the lesson as reading only. |
| Player Type | calling station / nit / maniac / regular / over-folder / passive player | Player-type tags force each exploit adjustment to start from a baseline and then name the specific leak. |
| Leak | missed value / overbluff / overfold / loose preflop / pot-odds math / story gap / range drift | Leak tags are the bridge between Smart Score feedback, Review Queue, and the next recommended drill. |
| Difficulty | Beginner / Intermediate / Advanced | Difficulty tags keep new users inside clear decisions before introducing mixed strategies and polar river work. |
Pack Density
Focused packs become the user's next prescription.
| Pack | Spots | Main Leak Tags | Training Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Preflop Discipline | 78 | mixed decision leaks | Train opens, blind defense, 3-bet responses, and set-mining discipline before the flop. |
| Value and Thin Value | 61 | missed-value / thin-value / missed-thin-value / overplay-top-pair | Find value bets, avoid overplaying one pair, and choose sizes worse hands can call. |
| Board Texture and C-Bets | 64 | under-cbet / monotone-overplay / turn-barrel-plan / 3bet-pot-overpair | Practice dry boards, wet boards, monotone boards, turn probes, and semi-bluff pressure. |
| River Decisions | 113 | mixed decision leaks | Train blockers, bluff-catchers, thin value, and polar sizing away from real-time play. |
| Math and Stack Depth | 47 | pot-odds-math / ace-high-3bet-pot / 3bet-pot-overpair / set-mining-discipline | Review pot odds, SPR, 3-bet pot commitment, and stack-depth planning. |
| Multiway Pots | 50 | multiway-overplay / multiway-air / slowplay-drift / draw-chasing | Practice how value, bluffs, draws, and slowplays change when more than two ranges continue. |
| Tournament and Short Stack | 33 | short-stack-drift / icm-call-off / icm-oversteal / call-off-drift | Study push-fold discipline, shallow stack plans, and basic tournament pressure without claiming solver precision. |
| Live Exploits | 88 | missed-value / overbluff-vs-caller / missed-steal / hero-call-drift | Compare calling stations, nits, maniacs, over-folders, and regulars after naming the baseline. |
| River Decision Lab | 76 | missed-thin-value / story-gap / blocker-misuse / under-value-nuts | Focus on thin value, blocker bluffs, overbets, bluff-catchers, block bets, and river check-raises. |
| BB Defense | 16 | overfold-blind / overfold-blinds / overdefend-blinds / overdefend-early-open | Train big blind calls, folds, and blocker pressure by opener position, price, and equity realization. |
| 3-Bet Pots | 65 | 3bet-pot-cbet / overpair-attachment / 3bet-pot-overpair / medium-strength-pot-control | Train lower-SPR decisions, ace-high boards, overpairs, and medium-strength pot control in 3-bet pots. |
| Thin Value | 39 | thin-value / missed-thin-value / missed-value | Name worse calls before betting medium-strength hands. |
| Pot Odds Math | 38 | pot-odds-math / draw-chasing | Make the final-pot formula automatic before adding implied-odds adjustments. |
| Player-Type Exploits | 27 | overbluff-vs-caller / player-type-blindness / overfold-vs-maniac / respect-passive-aggression | Adjust versus calling stations, nits, maniacs, and regulars after naming the baseline. |
Production Standard
Quality rules for every Phase 5 addition.
Standard 2
Every recommendation must separate balanced baseline from exploit adjustment.
Standard 3
Every math spot must show call amount divided by final pot after calling.
Standard 4
Every river spot must name value target, fold target, blocker quality, or price.
Standard 5
Every player-type exploit must explain why the line changes versus that profile.
Standard 6
Every public page keeps offline education-only framing and avoids real-money service language.
