Hold'em table

K2o is a weak offsuit hand that plays poorly postflop. Folding preflop avoids investing chips with a marginal hand even with position.

53o is far too weak to complete or raise from the small blind blind-versus-blind, making an easy fold.

T6s is playable from the button in 3-handed play; raising to 2bb applies pressure on the blinds while retaining position postflop.

J8 suited is a reasonable occasional three-bet against a wide button min-raise. Raising also avoids inviting the big blind into a cheap three-way pot while I’m out of position.

Calling 700 with 77 to set-mine; both opponents are deep enough to pay off if I flop a set, and 77 retains some equity unimproved.

Folding T6s facing a 3-bet and a cold-call, as our hand is dominated and lacks equity.

J-high has little immediate equity on this dry flop, and a bet is unlikely to fold out many better hands. I’ll check and reassess on the turn.

I flopped top set on a dry board and the preflop 3-bettor checked to me. I will bet for value and to build the pot while charging overpairs and draws.

J-high has little chance of improving on this rainbow flop, and calling a 1200-chip bet in a three-bet pot is unlikely to be profitable.

J4 suited is strong enough to open on the button three-handed. A small raise uses position without committing too many chips.

8-4 offsuit is too weak to continue against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids investing more chips with a dominated, low-equity hand out of position.

A2o plays poorly out of position with weak postflop playability and reverse implied odds, making it a standard fold even getting good immediate pot odds.

On the button in a 3-handed game, T9o is strong enough to attack the blinds. A raise to 300 applies pressure and can win preflop while maintaining position.

AKo is a premium holding in the small blind facing a button open, making a 3-bet to 11 bb standard for value and initiative out of position.

8-5 offsuit is too weak to defend against a large three-bet, especially with the original raiser still to act.

T9o is too weak to continue against a small-blind 3-bet, and calling 800 out of position for the rest of the hand with poor equity is not profitable. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

Q7o is slightly too weak to open profitably from the button even three-handed.

J5 suited is strong enough to open against the big blind, and raising gives me a chance to win the pot immediately.

AdQd is a strong 3-handed hand, and the small blind's raise is likely wide. I will 3-bet to 900 to apply pressure and build the pot with a premium holding.

J5 suited is too weak to continue against the big blind's 3-bet, especially out of position.

Q6 offsuit is a marginal but playable button open in a three-handed, rake-free game. Raising gives me a chance to win the blinds and keeps the initiative in position.

J5s is a weak, dominated hand from the small blind, and calling 200 more risks the big blind squeezing behind. Folding avoids playing a marginal hand out of position.

Q3s is too weak to defend out of position against a button 2.5x open.
