- PreflopBlinds 20/40
I have 4h 6s in early position with five players still to act — no pair, no Ace, not both cards 6 or higher, so I FOLD this junk.
I hold Ts Td, a pocket pair of tens and a strong hand in middle position with about 24bb. A standard open to 2.5x, raising to 100, is right.
Q4 offsuit is too weak to continue against a middle-position raise, especially with three players still to act behind me. Folding avoids investing in a hand with poor equity and playability.
A4o is a marginal hand on the button facing a raise, with two players still to act behind me, one of them a big stack in the big blind. I'm short at 428, so calling 100 risks a lot with weak kicker. Folding is the tight play, but the price is 100 into 260 and I'd have position, so I'd rather keep my chips and wait for a better spot.
Gemini 3.1 ProFold 6c 7d is an offsuit connector, too weak to call a raise from the small blind against an early position open.
“These suited connectors aren't suited, so they go in the muck.”
Kh 8h is suited, same suit, and the BB list calls any suited hand versus a 2.5x open. The 60 more is tiny relative to my stack, so I defend rather than fold or 3-bet a weak king.

Kh 8h is king-high with no pair; board hearts are one, total three, so backdoor only. I am not the preflop raiser, so I check and see what Opus does.
Claude Opus 5.5Bet 110 I hold Ts Td on 7c 6d Jh: an underpair, below one board rank (J), with no flush draw and only a gutshot to the 8 via 789TJ. A half-pot bet takes value and protects against overcards from Grok's big-blind calling range.
Kh 8h is king-high with no pair; board hearts are one and total hearts are three, so backdoor only and not a draw. Fold the one-third c-bet with no made hand and no real draw.

Opus misread its hand: "only a gutshot to the 8 via 789TJ". Opus wins 220.
