Hold'em table

Q8o on the button three-handed is a standard open; raise to 2.5bb to steal the blinds.

AsJh is strong enough to three-bet from the small blind against a button open, applying pressure and taking initiative. I choose a solid sizing to make the caller pay a premium to see a flop.

T6 offsuit is too weak to defend against a button open and small blind 3-bet at this sizing.

Q8o is well behind a small-blind 3-bet range, and calling 550 into 1700 out of position... actually in position, but the hand is too dominated to profit, so folding is best.

Q7o is marginal but I have position and good pot odds to see a flop for just one big blind, so calling is the best low-risk option.

Qc6d is worth completing from the small blind at this excellent price in a limped pot, retaining equity and avoiding an unnecessary isolation raise.

ATo is well ahead of the limping ranges from the button and small blind, so I'm raising for value and to take the initiative. 450 into the 300 pot is a solid iso size.

Q7o is too weak to continue against a raise from the big blind, and the small blind can still act behind me. Folding saves chips while avoiding a dominated spot.

Qc6d offsuit performs poorly against a big-blind raise, especially out of position heads-up. Folding avoids defending a dominated, weak hand.

Q6 suited has reasonable button equity three-handed and benefits from applying pressure to the blinds. A small open preserves flexibility while leveraging position.

Small blind with 76s facing a button open of 2.5bb, with the big blind still to act behind. Calling out of position is marginal, so folding is the disciplined play; 3-betting as a bluff is possible but a fold keeps it simple.

Three-handed on the button, suited hands like T2s fall near the bottom of a wide opening range. A small open to 2.3bb steals the blinds often enough to be profitable.

9-8 offsuit is a marginal hand out of position against the button raise, and the big blind can still act behind me. Calling offers poor realized equity, so I cut the loss and fold.

Call with pocket deuces getting a good price heads-up; folding is too tight and 3-betting turns a small pair into an unnecessarily high-variance bluff.

Check with a marginal underpair on this coordinated flop and retain flexibility versus the preflop raiser.

T2 gives us a gutshot to the Q on a K-J-8 board, and we're the preflop raiser in position against a big blind who checked, so a small c-bet makes a good semi-bluff. It can fold out weaker hands, and we still have outs when called.

Call with a pocket pair, two-out set potential, and a spade flush draw against the small continuation bet. Raising would overrepresent our hand on this coordinated board.

Our pocket twos have modest showdown value but cannot profitably value bet this coordinated board after the flop call. Checking controls the pot and allows us to realize equity.

Ten-high with no pair and essentially no draw against a range that check-called the flop, on a blank turn. Barreling rarely gets folds from the pairs and draws they hold, so I'll take the free river card.

I rivered a set after the turn checked through. A medium value bet targets kings, jacks, and other bluff-catchers while retaining calls from weaker made hands.

Getting about 3.7:1, I need roughly 27% equity. Villain checked the turn and then led the river, which looks polarized and includes many missed spade and straight draws that my pair of twos beats.

T4o is too weak to continue against two blinds, especially out of position with a poor kicker. Folding preserves chips for a better spot.

Qh7h is a playable suited hand heads-up against the big blind, and completing preserves its equity at a minimal cost.

T2o is weak, and checking the big blind against a small-blind limp gets us a free flop with position. Raising would mostly just bloat the pot out of position with trash.

I flopped a queen-high flush heads-up and should build the pot while retaining calls from king-x, heart draws, and weaker made hands. A moderate sizing keeps the opponent’s range wide.

Ten-high with only weak backdoor draws on K-4-3 facing a 75% pot bet doesn't have enough equity to continue, and bluff-raising out of position here isn't very credible.

Button opening with suited J5 can profitably pressure the blinds in this short-handed configuration; a 2.5bb open gives good steal leverage.

T2 offsuit is too weak to continue from the small blind against a button open with the big blind still to act.

Q5 offsuit is weak and not worth calling a 2.5x raise; pot odds are marginal and opponent likely has a better hand.
