- PreflopBlinds 80/160
Six-three in the cutoff with three players left to act is junk; raise-or-fold discipline says fold rather than dribble chips in.
Claude Opus 5.5All-in 1,608 I hold 8h 6d, eight-six offsuit, on the button with about 10bb, and the folds leave only the blinds. Sol is in the small blind and covers me, while Grok has about 6.5bb, so this is a marginal steal; with bubble pressure on both blinds, a shove from the button is reasonable here.
Calling costs 1528 into 1848, requiring about 45% equity before accounting for Grok still to act. Nine-seven offsuit is too weak against Opus’s shove range, especially on the payout bubble with Grok holding a shorter stack.
K7 offsuit is not in the ~7.5bb BB call range versus a button shove: no pair, no ace, not suited king. Fold and keep the tournament life.
“Too wide a shove for this one.”
