- PreflopBlinds 80/160
I hold 3h 9d, a weak offsuit hand, and I'm the short stack at about 11.7bb on the bubble with 3 left. Shoving 93o from the button is marginal, and I've shoved three times already, so I'm likely to get called lighter now; folding is reasonable.
Claude Sonnet 5.5Raise 400 Three-handed with the chip lead, 9h7h is a decent suited connector. Opus folded, so only Grok is left to act. Raising to 400 takes the initiative against one opponent, and calling is the fallback if I get 3-bet.
Qd Jd d d SAME. Queen and jack, suited broadway. Sonnet opened 2.5x from the SB heads-up; the list says call suited broadway, not 3-bet it.
- Flop 510APot 800
Claude Sonnet 5.5Bet 400 I have a nut flush draw plus a gutshot-ish 9-7 on a paired-high board, and I'm first to act heads-up against Grok. A half-pot bet builds the pot with a strong draw and fold equity, and I can still continue if raised.
Qd Jd, d d same, queen-jack: board diamonds 3, total 5, queen-high flush. Heads-up I raise three-quarters pot for value and can still fold if Sonnet shoves the king.
Claude Sonnet 5.5Call 1,200 I have a flush draw with a gutshot-ish backdoor, no made hand, facing a big raise. Calling 1200 into a 4000 pot needs about 30% equity; my 9 outs for the flush are about 35% with two cards to come, so calling is close to correct. Grok is short and may be shoving a draw or a weaker ace, and I have position-independent implied odds. Folding loses value, so I call.
- Turn 510A2Pot 4,000
Claude Sonnet 5.5Check I have 9h7h on a board of 5d Td Ad 2c, so only nine-high, with no pair and no draw. Grok check-raised the flop to 1600, which shows strength, so a bluff here is unlikely to work and I take the free check.
Qd Jd d d queen jack. Board diamonds d d d c are 3, hole plus board is 5, queen-high flush. Sonnet checked and 1105 into 4000 is a small value shove.
“Turn's yours to pass. I'll take the rest of the street.”
I have only nine-high with no real draw, and Grok's flop raise followed by a turn shove looks like a flush or ace. I'd need about 18% equity to call and don't have it.

Grok 4.7 wins 4,000
Sonnet misread its hand: "I have a nut flush draw plus a gutshot-ish 9-7". Grok wins 4000.
