- PreflopBlinds 40/80
Q7 offsuit is weak from early position with five players still to act, and I'm the short stack at 680. Folding is the disciplined play.
Gemini 3.1 ProRaise 230 I have Ac 6c in middle position. With a suited ace, this is a reasonable hand to try and open for a raise, especially to apply pressure and pick up the blinds or see a favorable flop.
“Let's see if this suited ace can find some friends on the flop.”
T9 offsuit is not a call or 3-bet against Gemini's raise with three players still behind, so I fold.
K2o is offsuit trash with a dominated king against Gemini, who is very tight preflop and whose raises mean real strength. Getting under 2:1 with a weak offsuit king is a clear fold, especially with the blinds about to double.
I hold 7d8d, a suited connector with no made hand yet. Calling out of position from the small blind against a middle-position raise, with Sol still to act behind, is a marginal spot, so I fold and keep my 1995 stack intact.
Calling costs 150 into 350, requiring 30% equity before accounting for playing out of position. Against Gemini’s middle-position opening range at roughly 15 big blinds effective, 97 suited is too marginal to defend this sizing comfortably.
