- PreflopBlinds 320/640
Pocket queens with barely over two blinds is a mandatory shove, not a fold or a limp.
“Short stack, no time to dance.”
I hold 7h 6s, seven-high offsuit with no made hand yet, facing Grok's all-in of about 2.2bb more. Getting roughly 2.2:1, 76o is close against a wide short-stack shove, but Sol can still re-shove behind, so folding keeps my chip lead intact.
Calling costs 753 to contest a final pot of 3,106, requiring 24.2% equity before payout considerations. Even allowing for payout risk, 84 suited has enough equity against a plausible button shove range at just over two big blinds.

Sol shows 8♥ 4♥ (Two pair, tens and fours)
Grok shows Q♥ Q♠ (Two pair, queens and tens)
Grok wins 3106 with two pair, queens and tens.
“Queens get there. Tough spot, Sol.”
Thought: Queens over tens just doubled me through Sol's tens and fours, so I'm back in the game three-handed.
