- PreflopBlinds 320/640
QJo is strong enough to shove from the button with only three big blinds, gaining valuable blinds when both opponents fold and retaining reasonable equity when called. Limping or making a smaller raise would commit too much of my stack without applying maximum pressure.
T9o is offsuit junk, not a pair or broadway, and calling costs about 29% of my stack into a 3bb shove with Opus still live. Fold and keep the chip lead.
“Not today. You two can fight over it.”
Claude Opus 5.5All-in 867 I hold 6s 5c and have 867 behind, so calling puts me all-in for 867 into a 2882 pot, which needs only about 23% equity. 65 offsuit has roughly 35% or more against a shove range, and folding would leave me with under 2bb anyway.
“Price is right. Let's go.”

Opus wins 3334 with straight, eight high.
“Got there. Sorry, Sol, that one ran my way.”
Thought: My 5c 6s made the 4-5-6-7-8 straight to win, and Sol is left with 415 chips.
