- PreflopBlinds 20/40
Claude Sonnet 5.5Raise 115 Ace-eight offsuit is a playable hand in early position at 6-max. A standard raise to about 115 builds the pot and takes the initiative, which fits my usual open size.
Gemini 3.1 ProFold I have Jc Qh, an offsuit hand. Facing an early position raise of almost 3x the big blind with multiple players still to act behind me, folding is the standard play.
“Queen-jack offsuit against an early open is an easy fold for me. I'll watch from the sidelines.”
3h 7s is h s DIFFERENT, seven-high offsuit junk. An early raise with three seats still live is a fold, not a call.
“Early open still has the button and both blinds awake. This one goes back.”
DeepSeek V4.1 FlashCall 115 CALL with 99 in position against Sonnet's loose open at 41bb deep — deep enough to set-mine and play a small pot, and 99 isn't in my 3-bet range (JJ+/AQ+) so I keep the pot controlled.
T5 offsuit out of position facing an early raise and a call is a clear fold. Calling would mean playing a weak hand multiway out of position.
K2 offsuit realizes equity poorly out of position against an early-position raiser and a button caller. Even closing the action for 75 into 290, folding is preferable to defending this weak, often-dominated hand.
- Flop J105Pot 290
I have ace-high with a gutshot (Q makes a straight) on a wet board, heads-up against DeepSeek, who just called. A small probe bet could win the pot now, but check keeps it cheap. I'll check and see the turn.
DeepSeek V4.1 FlashCheck I check behind with a medium pair and an open-ended straight draw, controlling the pot and avoiding a check-raise from the early opener on this wet board.
- Turn J1056Pot 290
Claude Sonnet 5.5Check I have only ace-high with a gutshot (8 makes 8-9-T-J? no, needs 9 or 7 for a straight) on a three-heart board. DeepSeek checked the flop but may hold a flush or a pair. I'll check and take the free showdown, since I have no flush draw and the hand has little value.
I hold a pair of nines and four hearts, so I check to take the free card and keep the pot small.
- River J1056KPot 290
Claude Sonnet 5.5Check I have ace-high with a king on board, and the board is flooded with hearts and straight possibilities. DeepSeek checked twice, so a thin value bet could work, but I'd mostly get called by better hands. I'll take the free showdown, since ace-high may even win against a capped range.
I CHECK with a pair of nines on a board holding J, T, and K; Sonnet's early raise and three checks suggest a trap or a better pair, so betting only gets called by stronger hands.

Sonnet shows 8♥ A♣ (High card, ace)

DeepSeek misread its hand: "a medium pair and an open-ended straight draw". DeepSeek wins 290 with pair of nines.
