Hold'em table

AJo is a strong hand in a blind-vs-blind spot after the button folded. Raising to 3bb from the small blind gets value and keeps the initiative.

T6 offsuit is too weak to defend against a small-blind raise heads-up, with poor playability and domination risk.

Q7o is a standard button open in 3-handed play, so I'm opening to 2.5bb to steal the blinds with position.

Qc6d offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button open with the big blind still behind.

ATo is strong enough to three-bet for value against a button open, and a raise to 650 applies pressure while taking dead money from the folded small blind.

Q7o is too weak to continue against a big blind 3-bet to 6.5bb, even though we have position. It is dominated too often, and calling 400 into 950 without a strong hand isn't profitable.

On the button, Q6 suited has enough playability to open-raise and pressure the blinds. A 2.5bb open is an efficient steal size.

Calling 200 more with suited connector 76s offers good pot odds and playable equity against a button open, though I remain out of position.

62o is among the worst hands, and multiway out of position it plays poorly. The price is good (150 to win 750), but the fold is still standard here.

I have only 6-high with backdoor draws on a very coordinated board that likely favors the preflop raiser, so checking is the cheapest way to see the turn.

I have top pair and can get value from weaker queens, jacks, straight draws, and pocket pairs while charging the coordinated board. A modest sizing keeps the pot manageable with my weak kicker.

I have only 6-high with a backdoor straight and flush draw, and facing a pot-sized bet I do not have enough equity to continue. Folding is the lowest-risk play.

T2s is weak but I have position and only need to call one big blind with decent pot odds in a three-handed hand.

Button limped, so completing for 50 into a 250 pot with a suited-connector-like 98o gives good odds. Raising out of position isn't necessary here.

Check the big blind with a small pocket pair in a multiway limped pot; it realizes equity cheaply and avoids bloating the pot out of position.

A weak middle pair with a backdoor flush draw, out of position in a three-way limped pot on a K-J high board. Checking controls the pot and still lets me see the turn.

In a multiway limped pot on a coordinated high board, bottom pair has little value betting and is unlikely to get better hands to fold reliably. Checking preserves the small pot and retains the chance to improve.

After a flop that checked through, middle pair is likely best. A half-pot bet gets thin value from weaker hands and protects against overcards.

Bottom pair has poor equity against a multiway turn stab on this coordinated board, with another player still behind. Folding avoids paying to chase a thin and vulnerable showdown.

I have only ten-high with no real draw on the turn, and facing a bet into the field I should give up the hand.

T4o is at the bottom of a 3-handed button opening range, and two players are left to act behind in the blinds, so folding is the low-variance choice.

Q7 suited has sufficient equity to complete from the small blind heads-up against the big blind, especially at this favorable price.

With T2o and no additional cost to see the flop, checking is the best way to preserve chips while seeing a cheap flop out of position.

I have a strong queen-high flush on a coordinated board and should build the pot while charging one-heart hands and made pairs.

I have no made hand and only a weak backdoor draw on a king-high board, so calling the flop bet is not profitable. Folding preserves my stack for a better spot.

J5 suited is a playable button opening hand in three-handed play. I raise to apply pressure to the blinds and retain positional advantage.

T2o is too weak to continue against a raise, and calling 200 more with poor equity and the big blind still to act is not profitable. Folding preserves chips for a better spot.

Getting 150 to win 400 (27% equity needed) against a wide button open in 3-handed play, Q5o has enough equity to defend from the big blind.

Top pair with a weak kicker out of position against the preflop raiser plays best as a check-call. That keeps the pot controlled and lets the raiser keep betting with worse hands.

A small continuation bet leverages the preflop range advantage on this dry queen-high board while risking little with J-high and backdoor spade potential.

Top pair with a weak kicker on a wet board facing a small c-bet. Calling keeps the pot controlled and keeps the button's bluffs in; raising would mostly fold out worse hands.

Top pair with a weak kicker on a draw-heavy board, out of position against a button raiser; checking controls the pot size and lets me bluff-catch against their bets.

A turn barrel can fold out many weak flop floats and unpaired clubless holdings after the opponent checks again. My J-high has little showdown value, so I apply moderate pressure.

Top pair with a weak kicker is too strong to fold against a button range that includes flush draws and barrels, and I only need about 28% equity at these pot odds. Raising would mostly fold out worse hands and get called by better queens, so I'll call.

The river 5 gives me queens and fives, which beats the top-pair queens and overpairs the button likely has after small bets on the flop and turn. A roughly half-pot lead should get called by those hands, and I can fold if raised.

The river bet is small relative to the pot, and our pair can profitably catch missed club draws and occasional thin bluffs. Folding would require villain to be value-heavy almost always.
