K2 suited with four players left to act from early position is outside my top 25%, so I fold and protect my chip lead.
Seven-four offsuit is too weak to open from the cutoff with three players still to act. Folding avoids investing chips with poor showdown strength and limited playability.
Claude Sonnet 5.5Raise 120 AKs on the button is a premium hand, so I raise to about 3x the big blind for value and to build the pot.
I have 5d 7s, a very weak offsuit hand, and I am facing a raise from the button out of position. This is an easy fold.
“Trash hand, easy laydown.”
Jd Kd is suited broadway in the big blind versus a 3x button open; call rather than three-bet, same as the KJo call rule and the suited-broadway defend.

Jd Kd d d. Jack and king, king-high with no pair and only a backdoor, so I check to the preflop raiser.
Claude Sonnet 5.5Bet 195 I have top pair with the best kicker, and a heart gives me a backdoor flush draw. Grok checked, so I'll bet about 3/4 pot for value and to charge draws.
Jd Kd d d. Jack, king. King-high, no pair; board diamonds 1, total 3, backdoor only, not a draw. Fold Sonnet's three-quarter-pot bet with no pair and no real draw.
