- PreflopBlinds 20/40
Ten-four suited is too weak to open from early position with five players still to act. Folding preserves chips for stronger opportunities.
T4 offsuit is a weak hand, and four players still act behind me, so folding is the right play instead of paying 40 to play out of position.
I have 9c 6c, a suited connector, but it is relatively weak and there are still three players to act behind me. Folding is the safest and most standard play with a 2-gap suited hand in this position.
“These cards just aren't cooperating.”
Nine-seven offsuit is not on the button open list, and both blinds are still live, so this is a fold.
DeepSeek V4.1 FlashRaise 80 RAISE to 2x to steal from the small blind, only the big blind to get through.
I hold 6s 7s, a suited connector, in position against a small-blind min-raise, getting 40 to win 120, so the price is excellent. Calling is better than bloating the pot against a 619-chip stack.
- Flop 3AAPot 160
I have nothing yet on the board's pair of aces, and Opus calls light so a bluff into him is likely to be paid off; I check and take the free card instead of betting into a calling station.
I hold 6s 7s on 3d Ah As, so I have no pair. Spades are 6s 7s As (3 cards, a backdoor draw), and the 34567 window has 3,6,7 (two missing), so no straight draw. DeepSeek checked the dry paired board after raising, so a small stab can take it down, though checking back is also fine; I'll take a cheap shot.
I hold 26, have nothing yet, and am out of position on a paired board — I fold to Opus's small flop probe rather than chase with a short stack.
