Guys, thank you so much for the advice. Everyone seems to be saying about the same thing and it makes a lot of sense.
Plenty of basic, basic adjustments to make, particularly in stages 0,1,3. This was all really helpful.
I downloaded an odds chart for heads up prefold and I'll just keep it handy until I can force myself to start overcoming my total passivity.

I really appreciate all the friendly replies.
