Hold'em table

84o is below a standard 3-handed button opening range at 100bb deep, so folding is the disciplined play.

With 55 heads-up from the small blind after the button folds, I raise for value and to deny the big blind a free realization of equity.

K6o is marginal but I'm getting 2:1 pot odds in position against a wide small blind raise, so calling is profitable.

With a marginal underpair on a coordinated flop, checking controls the pot and preserves showdown value.

Opponent checked a dry flop after raising preflop, so a bet can often take the pot immediately. My K-high also has some backdoor equity if called.

Pocket fives retain enough showdown value against a small heads-up continuation stab, and calling keeps weaker hands and bluffs in.

The third club and connected turn card are strong scare cards for a delayed continuation bet. My pair has little showdown value, so I pressure weaker one-pair hands that may fold.

On the button in a three-handed, rake-free game, 9-7 offsuit is a reasonable steal candidate. I raise to apply pressure to the blinds and retain initiative.

Getting 150 to win 400 (27% equity needed) in the big blind against a button open of 2.5x; 93s is suited and plays fine heads-up at this price.

93s with a backdoor flush draw and a gutshot-ish wheel draw (needs a 4 or 6 for straights with the A) on an ace-high board that favors the preflop raiser; checking to the button is standard out of position.

I will make a small continuation bet with middle pair, targeting weaker pairs and overcards while denying equity cheaply.

Nine-high with only backdoor draws on an ace-high board is the bottom of my defending range, and out of position I would realize little equity, so I fold.

4s6d is a weak offsuit hand with poor equity against two opponents, so folding preflop is the safest way to preserve chips.

A5o is a strong blind-vs-blind hand, so I raise to 3bb for value and fold equity rather than limp out of position.

J8 suited has sufficient playability heads-up against a small-blind opening range, especially with position postflop.

This is a dry paired board that favors the preflop raiser, and A5d adds a backdoor draw plus a gutshot to the wheel. A small c-bet of about a third of the pot applies pressure cheaply.

I have trip eights with a jack kicker against a small continuation bet. Raising for value targets overpairs, diamond draws, and weaker eights while building the pot.

At 25% pot odds, ace-high with a backdoor flush and wheel draw has enough equity and showdown value against a check-raising range that includes draws and bluffs. Calling keeps their bluffs in and lets me reassess on the turn.

We hold ace-high with a weak backdoor-diamond draw on 88-3-T, facing a player who check-raised the flop, so our range is capped. Checking keeps the pot small and lets us take a free river card or give up cheaply.

We have trip eights with a strong kicker after villain checked the turn. Bet for value against overpairs, tens, and diamond draws while charging their equity.

Ace-high with no draw facing a flop check-raise and a turn barrel; our equity is well below the roughly 28% the price requires.

AJo on the button in 3-handed is a strong open; a standard 2.5bb raise takes the initiative and applies pressure to the blinds.

5-4 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button raise with the big blind still behind.

QTs has strong equity against a button open and I'm getting good pot odds, so I'll call and see a flop while keeping the pot manageable.

Top two pair on a draw-heavy board; I want to charge straight draws and extract value from top pair or overpairs.

AJ on Q-T-5 has an open-ended straight draw plus an overcard, with about 8-10 outs. Getting 400 into 1350 against a donk bet, calling is clearly profitable and keeps the pot controlled.

We turned the nut Broadway straight. Betting about 75% pot gets value from Kx, Qx and two pairs, and charges spade flush draws.

On the button three-handed, T6 offsuit is a reasonable steal-raise candidate with positional advantage. I use the minimum raise to risk little while applying pressure to the blinds.

99 is strong enough to 3-bet for value against a button open, and this size puts pressure while isolating the raiser.

A8o in the big blind facing a button open and a small-blind 3-bet is dominated too often. The button is still left to act behind me, so calling 500 out of position isn't profitable.

T6 offsuit is too weak to continue against a small-blind 3-bet, even with position.

Q9s is strong enough to raise from the button and put pressure on the blinds while taking initiative preflop.

T7o in the small blind facing a button min-raise, with the big blind still to act, plays poorly out of position. Calling 150 into 350 isn't worth it, so I fold.

KTo has sufficient equity to defend the big blind against a button min-raise, while keeping the pot manageable out of position.

I will value-bet top pair with a reasonable kicker on this relatively dry flop, while charging straight draws and weaker made hands.
