- PreflopBlinds 320/640
Gemini 3.1 ProAll-in 7,320 Sol has only 1040 chips behind, so any raise will essentially put them all-in. 6d Qd is a decent enough suited connector heads-up, so putting Sol all-in applies maximum pressure.
“You're short, Sol. Let's see if you want to gamble for it all right here.”
“Short stack, same game. Let's see how it plays out.”
Thought: With A9 heads-up at only 2.6 big blinds, I have a strong hand to meet this shove despite Gemini's tighter history.
After excluding Gemini’s unmatched chips, calling 1040 contests a final pot of 3360, requiring about 31% equity. A9 offsuit comfortably meets that price against a heads-up shove at my effective stack of 2.6 big blinds.
