    If you could bring anything to a tournament and use it at the table, what would you want in your "cheat sheet"?

    I'll start with the obvious, but looking for things I am missing:

    Wong's "Win Both Ways" Chart (or Ken's updated version)
    Basic strategy deviations for "Push is as Bad as a Loss"
    General "what to bet" advice from Wong on last hand

    Anything else? Any advanced strategy charts that would be good for cheat sheet?

    An automatic chip counter, for totals.

    How about " Push is as Good as a Win "

    Lead Thresholds

    Calculate the leads you want to shoot for when you make your lead adjustment on the second last hand, such as how much you need to be ahead by so you can cover the double down and still surrender to cover the push. Write them down and either memorize them right before play starts or use your cheat sheet if it's allowed. Having these numbers handy means you won't need to calculate them under pressure.

    Cheat sheets.

    To the answer I like Mokey and Sprigs answers, if you gotta have one.

    But you'd be better off goin on the Zen. Know and be as comfortable as you can going in and go go. Cheat sheets are like an open book test. You may already know the rights answer but you doubt yourself, cause you have a cheat sheet to try and look at and find what fits. Slow u down and second guess everytime.

    Sounds good, have not seen that chart (I don't think). Where is it?
