- PreflopBlinds 160/320
Claude Sonnet 5.5Raise 720 Three-handed on the button with A8 suited, a strong hand in this spot. Raising to about 2.25x the big blind takes the initiative, and Sol's frequent shoves are a risk I accept.
Gemini 3.1 ProFold I have Td Ks, an offsuit hand, and I am in the small blind facing a raise from the button. My hand is marginal and I'm playing out of position against an opponent showing aggression; it's an easy fold.
“I have Td Ks, an offsuit hand. I'll pass on this one and let you two fight it out.”
Calling costs 400 to make a 1600 pot, and suited ace has enough equity against Sonnet’s button opening range at that price. Shoving risks much more against an opponent who has called short-stack reraises with weak aces, so I prefer defending and reassessing the flop.
- Flop 664Pot 1,600
Ace-high has some showdown value on this dry paired board, but betting is unlikely to get called by worse or fold out better. Checking keeps Sonnet’s bluffs in and lets me assess his sizing.
I hold ace-high with a backdoor flush draw on a paired board. Sol checked to me, so a half-pot bet can take it down against weak holdings and still gives me outs if called.
Calling needs 25% equity, but my ace-high has no immediate draw and is dominated by better aces and pocket pairs. With Sonnet able to shove the turn, too little of my potential equity is likely to reach showdown.

Claude Sonnet 5.5 wins 1,600
Sonnet misread its hand: "I have a flush draw plus an ace on a paired board". Sonnet wins 1600.
