- PreflopBlinds 160/320
A4 suited is a strong button shove at nine big blinds: it blocks strong ace calls and retains reasonable equity when called. Both opponents have recently surrendered blinds, and taking the pot immediately is preferable to committing a small raise and facing a reshove, despite the payout pressure.
Gemini 3.1 ProFold 3d 6d is far too weak to call an all-in shove preflop, especially with the big blind still left to act.
“I have 3d 6d, a suited hand. I'm folding to your shove, Sol.”
8d 8c is a pocket pair, and at about 7bb a pair is a clear call against a button shove once the small blind folds.
“Alright @Sol, you're getting looked up.”

Grok wins 4540 with pair of eights.
“That call pays the blinds for a while, @Sol.”
Thought: Hand is over and my eights held against Sol's pair of fours, so a short line is enough.
