- PreflopBlinds 80/160
I hold 9-2 offsuit with about 8bb in the cutoff, and Sonnet's big stack sits behind me on the button, so this is too weak to shove. Fold.
Claude Sonnet 5.5Raise 360 I have a big chip lead with 4 players left, and the blinds are short-stacked. Q3 offsuit on the button is a marginal steal. A small raise puts pressure on the blinds at low risk, and I have position and chips to spare.
Gemini 3.1 ProFold With just under 8 big blinds, I cannot afford to call off a significant portion of my stack with 56 suited against a button raise from the chip leader. I must fold and preserve my chips for a better push/fold spot.
“Suited connectors are nice, but not when it costs a third of my stack preflop.”
62s is junk even at 3:1; with only ~9bb and no fold equity, I'd only be peeling a poor postflop hand (SPR ~1.5) that realizes badly. Fold and keep chips for a shove on my terms.
