Hold'em table

Opening with ATo on the button is standard in 3-handed play to apply pressure and gain positional advantage.

5-3 offsuit is too weak to defend the small blind against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

Getting 400 to 150 (about 2.7-to-1) against a button open that is likely wide in 3-handed play, K6o has enough equity and a positional discount in hand to call rather than fold or bluff-raise.

King-high with a backdoor spade draw on a J-7-2 board is a weak hand that will rarely be best. I'm out of position against the preflop raiser, so I check and take a free card rather than bluff.

Check back with Ace-high and position to realize equity and control pot size on a wet board.

King-high with a weak backdoor-less holding on an A-J-7-2 board; the button checked the flop, so a bluff might work, but I have little showdown value and check keeps the pot small while still allowing a possible showdown win.

Turned top pair with a decent kicker after checking behind on the flop; betting for value and protection against draws.

Second pair (king) with a backdoor... nothing much, but the pot offers 900+350 to call 350, about 26% equity needed. Facing a button who checked the flop and bet small on the turn, my king is likely ahead of a wide range, so calling is reasonable.

King-high with a 6h on a board with a heart flush possibility (7h 2h 5h) is a weak bluff-catcher at best. Checking gives up the chance to bet without risking more chips, and the button's turn bet suggests some strength.

With top pair and a mediocre kicker on a board with three hearts, checking back preserves showdown value without risking getting raised or called only by better hands.

8♦7♦ is a playable suited connector on the button, so I’m opening to build the pot with position.

2-3 offsuit is one of the weakest starting hands. Calling 200 more out of position against a button raise with a big blind still to act is a losing play, so I fold.

AQo is well ahead of a 3-handed button opening range, so 3-betting to 10bb for value and to seize the initiative is standard.

87 suited has enough playability in position to call the 3-bet at this stack depth, especially with no rake.

As the preflop 3-bettor on an Ace-King high dry-ish texture, we have a significant range advantage and top pair second kicker; a small continuation bet of roughly one-third pot extracts value and protects against equity draws.

Eight-seven of diamonds has no pair or immediate draw on this flop, and calling the three-bettor's continuation bet is unlikely to be profitable.

K2 offsuit is a weak hand, and even on the button in a 3-handed game it plays poorly out of position against two opponents when facing a call of 100. Folding is the disciplined choice.

In a blind-versus-blind spot after the button folds, 44 is well ahead of a random hand and plays best as an open-raise to 3 bb.

The small blind may be raising a wide range after the button folds. Calling 200 more lets me play heads-up in position with a queen-high hand.

Holding an underpair on a wet, connected board out of position, checking to evaluate the action is the most prudent play.

Q-high has little equity on this connected flop, and a bet is unlikely to fold out many better hands. Checking preserves the option to bluff on a favorable turn.

Check to control the pot with a weak pocket pair on a paired, coordinated board where we have little equity to bet.

Queen-high has little immediate value, but position lets me see the river for free. I can reassess if the opponent checks again.

I hold two pair, tens and fours, which has showdown value against unpaired missed hands. Betting wouldn't get called by worse, so checking is the best play.

I have two pair, queens and tens, after my opponent checked all three streets. A small river bet can get called by weaker pairs while limiting losses to stronger hands.

Our pocket fours only make a weak two pair (Tens and Fours), which loses to any pair of Sixes, Jacks, Queens, any spade flush, or straight, beating only pure missed air.

53s is too weak of a suited gapper to reliably open from the button even in 3-handed play.

Ace-king offsuit is strong heads-up, so I raise from the small blind for value and initiative.

A5s is a solid hand in the big blind against a small blind open to 3bb in a 3-handed game. Calling 200 into a 400 pot gives good odds, and the hand plays well postflop, so calling is better than a 3-bet.

Top pair with top kicker is strong against the big blind's calling range. A half-pot bet gets value from weaker pairs and draws.

Ace-high with a backdoor flush draw and a wheel gutshot (A5 with 7 9 K is only a weak draw) has decent equity and good pot odds (300 to win 1200) against a small-blind c-bet, so calling is better than folding or bloating the pot.

Top pair with top kicker can get value from weaker kings, jacks, and draws. A half-pot bet also charges draws without committing too much against a raise.

Nut flush draw plus a gutshot to a straight, and an ace-high overcard, gives roughly 12 outs; pot odds of 3 to 1 justify calling.

Top pair with top kicker has showdown value, but the river completes several plausible ten-high straight draws. Checking avoids a thin value bet into a stronger calling range.

Ace-high on a 9-7-K-J-8 board has almost no showdown value against a player who bet the flop and turn, so I check and avoid bluffing into a likely stronger hand.

K4 offsuit is a reasonable button open in a three-handed game. A small raise takes advantage of position without committing much of the stack.

A8s in the small blind is a reasonable hand against a button open at 2.25bb in 3-handed play. Calling 175 is fine, but a 3-bet bluff is unnecessary with the big blind still to act behind.

Getting over 4:1 immediate pot odds closing the preflop action with Kc Qs makes calling the 125 chips clearly profitable.

Middle pair (8s) with the nut flush draw's ace-high backdoor... actually Ah8h gives pair of eights plus backdoor heart draw, in a 3-way pot. Betting about 2/3 pot for value and protection while out of position is reasonable.

Holding only two overcards on an 8d-4s-9h board against a flop lead with the preflop aggressor still to act behind, folding is standard.

Bottom pair is unlikely to be ahead of a substantial bet into two players, and it has too little reliable equity to call.

3-9 offsuit is a weak hand, and calling or raising from the button against two players who are still to act is negative expected value in the long run, so I fold.

Holding KcJc in the small blind blind-versus-blind after the button folds, raising to 300 is a standard value raise.

K6 offsuit is strong enough to defend the big blind against a small-blind raise to 300. Calling keeps the pot manageable while playing in position postflop.

Check OOP on a low, connected board that connects well with the big blind's calling range, keeping the pot small with our overcards.

Top pair with a strong kicker is likely ahead after the preflop raiser checks. Betting gets value from weaker pairs and draws while protecting against overcards.

I completely missed this low, connected flop with king-high and have no direct draw out of position.
