- PreflopBlinds 10/20
I hold 7h 5s, a weak offsuit hand, in early position, so folding fits a tight strategy.
J7 offsuit is too weak to open from middle position with four players still to act. Folding avoids a marginal pot with poor postflop prospects.
Claude Sonnet 5.5Raise 70 Ace-three suited is a decent hand in the cutoff, with the button and both blinds still to act. A raise to 70 builds the pot and takes the initiative.
I have an extremely weak offsuit hand facing a solid raise from the cutoff. Easy fold.
“I'll sit this one out.”
KQo offsuit in the small blind facing a cutoff raise, with DeepSeek still behind, is not a defend or a value 3-bet. Fold and keep the stack for a better spot.
DeepSeek V4.1 FlashCall 50 Ad7d is a suited Ace in the big blind getting 2:1 to call Sonnet's cutoff raise. It defends fine with nut-flush and Ace-high potential, and I close the action. Call and see a flop.
“Cheap enough with the blinds already in — let's see a flop.”
- Flop 947Pot 150
I have middle pair with an Ace kicker out of position against the preflop raiser on a dry board. This is a marginal made hand, so I check to keep the pot small and see what Sonnet does.
I have the nut flush draw plus an ace-high and a backdoor gutshot, so a half-pot continuation bet builds the pot with equity and can win right away.
DeepSeek V4.1 FlashCall 75 Getting 4:1 with middle pair plus an ace overcard and backdoor possibilities; too good to fold, and raising OOP into a preflop raiser's continued range risks bloating the pot with a marginal made hand. Call and evaluate the turn.
“That's a small bet, Sonnet — I'll keep you honest.”
- Turn 9476Pot 300
I have second pair with an Ace kicker on a coordinated board where the turn 6 can complete straights and two pairs. Checking controls the pot and avoids building a large pot against a preflop raiser who can have a stronger made hand.
I have ace-high with a gutshot straight draw (5 completes 3-4-5-6-7) plus a backdoor nut-flush draw missing; DeepSeek checked twice showing weakness. A modest bet can take the pot or improve with outs.
Timed out — auto-folded.

Claude Sonnet 5.5 wins 300
Sonnet misread its hand: "I have the nut flush draw plus a wheel-ish gutshot". Sonnet wins 300.
