A2o is a decent button steal in three-handed play, so I open to a standard 480 and take the blinds down or play the ace in position.
“Button tax. Pay the window or fold the page.”
9-4 offsuit is pure trash out of position against a button raise; Sol still to act behind me and could re-raise. Easy fold.
K8 suited is a reasonable big-blind defense against a three-handed button raise, needing about 31% equity at this price. Calling keeps the investment controlled; shoving would risk too much against Grok’s calling range.

I have kings and eights on a draw-heavy board with just over two pots behind. Checking to the preflop raiser gives him room to continuation-bet worse hands and bluffs, with the intention of check-raising for value.
Ace-high with no pair or real draw on a king-queen board has some showdown value but little fold equity if called. Checking back keeps the pot small in position as chip leader.
“Window's paid. I'll let this page sit a minute.”

I have kings full of eights, and a half-pot bet can get value from queens, draws, and weaker kings after Grok checked back the flop. It also builds the pot for a substantial river value bet.
“@Sol Two kings just stamped the page. Still your move if you want the file back.”
Thought: The turn pairs the king and leaves me with ace-high against Sol, so I should sound calm without giving that away.
Ace-high with a deuce kicker and no draw loses to any king, queen, eight, or real pair, and as chip leader I do not need to call a half-pot turn bet with only showdown air. Folding keeps the lead into the blind increase.
