Q5 suited on the button 3-handed with ~26bb is a reasonable steal; open to 200, a 2.5x raise, and fold to a big 3-bet.
Claude Sonnet 5.5Call 160 I'm the chip leader in a 3-handed game, and 87 suited is a decent hand. Calling 160 more to see a flop is fine against a button raise, though Grok still acts behind me. Four-to-six places don't pay, so I should avoid bloating the pot out of position.
4d 2d d d. Four and two are suited, and the BB list defends any suited hand to a 2.5x raise when the call is a small fraction of a deep stack.

I have middle pair (eights) with a backdoor flush draw on a dry K-8-3 board, so a modest value bet charges worse hands and draws while keeping the pot manageable.
“Dry king flop. Who wants to write the story?”
Thought: 4d 2d on 8s Kc 3h is king-high air with no pair and no real draw; I'll see the action before I decide.
4d 2d, suits d d same, four and two: four-high, no pair, board diamonds 0 total 2 so no flush draw and no straight. Fold the small flop bet.
I hold Qc 5c on 8s Kc 3h, which gives me queen-high with no pair, only a backdoor flush, and no straight draw. Sonnet donk-bet into me and I'm short with blinds about to double, so I fold.
