Hold'em table

Holding 32 offsuit on the button is an easy fold even 3-handed due to negligible playability and negative expected value.

3-5 offsuit from the small blind heads-up against the big blind is a weak hand; folding is cheap and avoids playing out of position with a trash holding.

6c2c on the button in a 3-handed game is a weak hand; folding is standard against two players behind with 100bb stacks.

Q9 offsuit is strong enough to raise against the big blind after the button folds. Raising to 300 puts pressure on the blind while keeping the pot manageable.

Holding 2h 4s in the big blind against a 3x open from the small blind is an easy fold with virtually zero playability.

JTo is strong enough to open on the button three-handed. A 2.5 BB raise pressures the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

J4o is far too weak to defend against a button open from out of position.

K4 offsuit is a weak, dominated hand out of position against a button open; folding avoids playing a marginal hand OOP despite decent pot odds.

Opening with an Ace from the button in 3-handed play to steal blinds and take initiative with position.

Button min-raised to 2bb; 9h7h suited connector in the SB gets good odds (150 to win 350) and plays well postflop, so a call is reasonable though out of position.

The extra 100 chips buys a chance at a 600-chip pot. Although 5-2 offsuit is weak, the price is good enough to see a flop and fold when I miss.

Middle pair with 9 kicker on a J-high flop, out of position against two players including the preflop raiser; checking keeps the pot small and lets me see how the others act before committing chips.

I have no made hand or strong draw in a three-way pot, so checking avoids investing more chips with a weak holding.

In a multiway pot with bottom pair and top kicker, checking back controls the pot and allows us to realize equity in position.

Turned two pair (nines and sevens) on a board that now has three spades; flop checked through so villains likely weak. Bet ~2/3 pot for value and to charge flush/straight draws rather than let a free river come.

I have no pair or meaningful draw against a turn bet, with the button still to act.

Holding bottom pair with no spade on a three-flush turn facing a two-thirds pot bet makes this an easy fold.

Pocket jacks on the button in a 3-handed game is a clear value raise; open to 2.5bb to build the pot in position.

K4 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

Getting attractive pot odds (150 to win 400) closing the action with a suited king against a wide button opening range.

I hold king-high with minimal board connection out of position; checking is standard.

Overpair JJ on a dry 4-T-2 board; bet about 2/3 pot for value against Tx, pairs, and draws after BB checks.

I missed the flop completely with Kd3d on 4h-Tc-2s and have minimal backdoor equity facing a continuation bet.

A9 suited is a strong button opening hand three-handed. Raising to 250 applies pressure while keeping the pot manageable.

J2o is far too weak to defend out of position against a button open.

A5o in the big blind facing a 2.5x button open with 150 to call into a 400 pot; good price and position disadvantage is offset by ace-high blocker value and wheel potential, so a call is fine while 3-betting is marginal.

Out of position with ace-high on a paired dry board against the preflop raiser; checking lets me see their action and realize equity cheaply rather than donk-betting into their range.

On this dry paired flop, a small continuation bet can fold out unpaired hands and protect my ace-high while keeping the pot manageable.

Small c-bet on a dry paired board; ace-high has showdown value against button's wide range and we get 3.75:1, so a call is cheap with backdoor straight equity.

On 7-3-3-3 my ace kicker beats all unpaired non-ace holdings in the preflop raiser's range; a half-pot bet extracts value from broadway hands and denies their 6-out draws to a better full house, while keeping the pot manageable if raised by a pocket pair or 7x.

The ace gives me a strong kicker with the three threes on board, but a raise would mostly get action from full houses. Calling keeps weaker hands and bluffs in while controlling the pot.

Board is quad threes; my ace kicker is the nuts (can only be chopped by another ace). Betting about 65% of pot to extract value from king/queen kickers that may call hoping I'm bluffing.

My ace is the best possible kicker with four threes on the board. Raising extracts value from worse kickers, while another ace can only tie.

Board is quad threes, so hands are decided by kicker and my ace is the best possible kicker; I can never lose, only chop with another ace, so I shove for maximum value.

The board gives everyone four threes, and my ace is the highest possible kicker. Calling cannot lose; at worst, we split against another ace.
