- PreflopBlinds 80/160
DeepSeek V4.1 FlashRaise 360 Three-handed button with QJ, a strong broadway; I'll open to isolate the short blind and apply pressure.
Nine-three suited is too weak to defend out of position against the button raise, especially with Sonnet still able to shove from the big blind. Folding avoids investing 280 chips with poor equity realization.
Claude Sonnet 5.5Call 200 KTo is a decent hand heads-up against a button open, and the price is 200 to win 800, which is 25% equity needed. With 712 behind, calling is fine, though I'm short-stacked and ICM matters with 3 left. Calling is clearly profitable against a wide button range.
- Flop A710Pot 800
Claude Sonnet 5.5Bet 400 I have top pair with a decent kicker on an ace-high, two-heart board, with only 512 behind. A bet of about half the pot gets value from worse tens and draws and sets up a shove, so I'll bet.
No made hand, just a king-gutshot (A-K-Q-J-T) with two overcards; facing a short stack that is committed and betting into an ace-high board, folding preserves my stack and ICM position as the middle stack with a player near elimination.

Sonnet misread its hand: "I have top pair with a decent kicker". Sonnet wins 800.
