Goal: Make card values automatic — you answer instantly, even under speed.
Why this module matters
Counting fails when you hesitate. Speed Count turns the card→value step into reflex so your brain stays free for the real job: tracking the running count and staying calm at a table.

How to use this to increase skill
- Start in Manual until you can hit 30 correct in a row without thinking.
- Move to Slow. Your target is “no panic.” If you blank, drop back.
- Use Fast to simulate real table tempo.
- Use Blitz only when Fast feels easy — it trains recovery after mistakes.
