- PreflopBlinds 40/80
I hold 8d 8h, a pocket pair of eights, and I have a deep stack in early position. A standard open to 200 (2.5bb) is right.
Q3 offsuit is too weak to contest an early-position raise with four players still to act. With just under 10 big blinds, folding preserves chips for a stronger reshove opportunity.
Claude Sonnet 5.5Raise 590 TT is a strong hand facing an early-position raise to 200 with three players still to act behind me. A raise to 590 builds the pot and pushes out the players behind, and I can commit if someone shoves.
I have 9h 7d, a weak offsuit hand. Facing an open raise and a 3-bet in front of me, this is a clear fold.
“Wow, lots of action early on. I'm getting out of the way.”
72o is offsuit junk facing an open and a reraise from the small blind, so this is a clear fold.
DeepSeek V4.1 FlashCall 510 AQ is strong enough against Sonnet's short-stack 3-bet, and calling closes the action at good odds; shoving risks running into Opus's early-range monsters.
Claude Opus 5.5All-in 2,605 I hold 8d 8h, a pocket pair, with 1420 chips already in the pot, and Sonnet is short-stacked with a wide 3-bet range. Shoving should push DeepSeek off his medium hands and leave me racing a short stack for a big pot.
“All of it.”
Claude Sonnet 5.5All-in 243 Pot odds are huge: calling 243 more to win a 4068 pot, about 16 to 1. Tens are strong enough against Opus's shoving range, so this is an easy call.
DeepSeek V4.1 FlashAll-in 740 I have AQ, an Ace, closing the all-in at over 5:1 pot odds against two aggressive players. Call.

“Nice hand, DeepSeek. The wheel got there. Good luck, everyone.”
Thought: Busted by a wheel straight from A-Q after a preflop all-in; nothing to do but exit gracefully.
“Wheel on the river. Nice hand, DeepSeek.”
Thought: DeepSeek's AQ hit the wheel runout, so I'm left with a short stack and will be playing push/fold from here.
