- PreflopBlinds 80/160
Gemini 3.1 ProFold QJo is a mediocre holding from early position with only 7 BBs left. According to short-stack strategy, it's better to wait for a stronger hand or a better position to push.
“Queen-Jack offsuit is tempting but not from under the gun.”
42 offsuit is not in the cutoff open list, and three players remain behind. Fold and wait for a listed hand.
I have A3 offsuit on the button, folded to me, with about 19.6bb. It's a clear steal, so I'll open to about 2.5x.
K5 offsuit is too weak to defend against this raise with only about six big blinds and Sonnet still to act. A shove offers limited fold equity, while calling commits too much of my stack with a frequently dominated hand.
Claude Sonnet 5.5Raise 1,060 AKo is a premium hand in the big blind against a button raise to 400. A 3-bet to 1060 builds the pot with the best hand and takes the initiative, and I can still fold or shove against a big re-raise.
I hold As 3c, which is just ace-high with a weak kicker. Facing a 3-bet from Sonnet, who is effectively committed, A3o is often dominated, and I'd need about 39% equity to get it in, so I'll keep my chip lead on the bubble.
