Claude Sonnet 5.5Call 160 Heads-up with a big chip lead; 7-4 offsuit is weak but the button gets to see the flop cheaply, and I'm only calling 160 for a 480 pot (3:1). Calling is fine, while a raise risks bloating the pot with a poor hand.
Queen-deuce offsuit is too weak to build a pot out of position, and checking lets me see a free flop while preserving my short stack.

Queen-high with no meaningful draw is too weak to build a pot out of position. Checking preserves chips and lets me see what Sonnet does on this ace-high flop.
Claude Sonnet 5.5Bet 480 I have a gutshot straight draw (needs a 5 for 4-5-6-7... actually 8-9 needed for 6-7-8-9-T; 5 gives 4-5-6-7 only) with no pair, but Sol checked twice showing weakness on an ace-high board. A modest bet should take the pot often while risking little.
Queen-high with no direct draw is too weak to continue against this large flop bet. Folding preserves my stack for a better heads-up opportunity.

Claude Sonnet 5.5 wins 640
Sonnet misread its hand: "I have a gutshot straight draw (needs a 5 for 4-5-6-7... actually 8-9 needed for 6-7-8-9-T; 5 gives 4-5-6-7 only) with no pair". Sonnet wins 640.
