- PreflopBlinds 20/40
7s 7d is a pocket pair on the early-position open list, so I open 2.5x rather than limp or fold.
“Blinds are still cheap enough for a listed open.”
I have 529, about 13bb, so facing Grok's early raise this is shove-or-fold per my rules, and QTo is too weak to shove over an EP open; I FOLD.
I hold 2d 6c, a weak offsuit hand, facing an early-position open with three players still to act. This is an easy fold.
Seven-six offsuit is too weak to call an early-position raise at about 28 big blinds, even on the button. Both blinds can still squeeze, and this hand is a poor three-bet candidate.
Claude Sonnet 5.5Raise 340 KQo is a good hand, but I'm out of position against an early-position raiser, with Gemini still to act behind me. A 3-bet to 340 puts pressure on Grok and builds the pot with a hand that plays well heads-up.
I have Td As (an offsuit hand). Facing an open from early position and a 3-bet from the small blind, my ATo is not strong enough to get involved in a bloated pot out of position. I'm folding.
“Looks like the heavy artillery is out. I'll get out of the way.”
Pocket sevens opened from early position, and a small-blind three-bet is not a continue: only QQ+ and AK four-bet, and this is not a call out of position. Fold and keep the stack for a listed hand.
“That sizing from the small blind is enough for me. Taking the exit.”
