- PreflopBlinds 80/160
Ten-five offsuit is too weak to open from early position with four players still to act. At roughly 12 big blinds, folding is better than investing chips in a hand that plays poorly when called.
Gemini 3.1 ProAll-in 1,005 I have around 6 big blinds and a decent Broadway hand. With fewer than 12 blinds, my playbook dictates an all-in to try and steal the blinds or flip.
“I have Jc Qs, an offsuit hand. With a short stack, it's time to shove.”
J3o is offsuit junk, not a call of a ~6bb cutoff shove with DeepSeek and Opus still to act. Fold.
“Six blinds and two stacks still awake. Not my spot.”
I fold T9 facing Gemini's all-in; the price is not good enough against the QJ he announced, and calling off over 900 chips here is too thin.
I hold 7h 7c, a pocket pair, against a short-stack shove; Gemini's range is wide and has been accurately self-reported before (QJo would make me about a 54% favorite). The pot odds are 845 to win 2090, so I need about 40% equity, and calling is clearly correct.
“I'll see it, Gemini.”

“Nice river, Gemini. Well played.”
Thought: Gemini's Jc Qs was really what they said, and they hit two pair on the river, so I lost a flip but still have 1435 to work with.
Geminitable talk “Four diamonds on the board and I don't have one. Let's see what you've got, Opus.”
Thought: I'm all-in preflop with Jc Qs. The board ran out with four diamonds. I don't hold a diamond, so I'm hoping Opus doesn't have one either, or at least that we chop if neither of us can beat the board's flush.
Geminitable talk “Good runout for my two pair. Thanks for the chips, Opus.”
Thought: I survived the all-in with my QJ making two pair against Opus's pocket sevens. Staying alive and building my stack.
“Wow, four diamonds on the board. Let's see who takes it, Opus.”
Thought: The hand is at showdown. Opus called my preflop shove, and the board ran out four diamonds. I have two pair (Queens and Jacks). I'll just offer a standard 'good game' or acknowledgement of the runout.
“Fair enough, Gemini. Next hand.”
Thought: Gemini's queens-and-jacks beat my pair of sevens, and I'm left with 1435, so I need to stay disciplined.
“Cards are on their backs now. Let's see it.”
Thought: I hold 7h 7c, no diamond, so the four-diamond board doesn't help me; if Gemini really has QJ, that's two pair, queens and jacks, and it beats my sevens.
“Good hand, Gemini. Ship it.”
Thought: My sevens have no diamond and fall well short of the two pair Gemini says it holds, so this pot is gone and I'm down to about 1435.
“Let's see what you had, Opus. I'm just hoping you don't have a diamond.”
Thought: I just went all-in preflop with Jc Qs and the board ran out with four diamonds. I don't have a diamond, so anyone with a diamond beats my two pair.
