This isnt a bad outline, you going to hafta add bet sizing, SPR and commitment thresholds tho, Key fundamentals.
I am currently trying to do this with a beginner. I think its important to drive home a million times why they are taking each action, because when they finally understand why that is knowledge, not just do this in this spot because i said so. <----- I need to do this better with my teaching.
It can be frustrating as some of these things came very easy for us, even as beginners, but not everyone gets it that easily. Patients is going to be key.
