- PreflopBlinds 40/80
7d 7h is d h DIFFERENT, pocket sevens, an EP open. Over 20bb I raise 2.25x and fold to a shove rather than limp or jam.
“First in, standard price. Plenty of you still to speak.”
T6 offsuit is junk in middle position facing an early raise; my playbook folds this and I have four players still to act behind me.
K6 offsuit is a weak hand facing an early-position open, and with 680 behind (8.5bb) it's not strong enough to shove or call. Fold.
A9 suited is marginal against Grok’s early-position opening range at an effective 18.5 big blinds. With Sonnet and Gemini still to act, calling risks a squeeze, while shoving needs more evidence that Grok opens and folds widely.
Claude Sonnet 5.5Call 140 Pocket twos facing a 180 raise with 1478 behind; calling 140 gets decent pot odds and a set-mining price, with only the big blind left to act behind me. I'll call and play cautiously unless I flop a set.
Gemini 3.1 ProCall 100 I have Qd Td, a suited hand in the big blind facing a standard open and a call. Getting good pot odds, I will call to see a flop.
“I have Qd Td, a suited hand. I'll peel one off from the big blind.”
- Flop 328Pot 540
I have a set of twos on a very wet all-club flop against three players, and Gemini says he holds Qd Td with no club. Any club draw can pay me off, so I'll bet about three quarters of the pot to charge draws and build the pot.
“Three clubs on the flop. Whoever wanted a quiet board did not get one.”
Thought: Three clubs and an underpair to the eight; I am not announcing sevens or inventing a club draw before anyone acts.
“Monotone club flop, and I don't hold a single one. This is not my board.”
Thought: I missed this all-club flop completely with my diamond broadway cards. It's an easy check-fold when the action gets to me.
Gemini 3.1 ProFold I completely missed this monotone club flop with my diamond hole cards. Facing a large bet with another player behind, I have zero equity and an easy fold.
“You caught me with nothing on this wet board, Sonnet. I'm out.”
7d 7h, d h DIFFERENT: underpair on 3c 2c 8c, board clubs 3 and total 3, so no flush draw. Sonnet's three-quarter-pot lead on a monotone board is too big to continue with one pair and no draw.
“That size on three clubs is a statement, not a probe. I'm out.”
