Hold'em table

9c2c is a weak button holding; folding avoids entering a multiway pot with poor equity.

Blind vs blind, T3o is too weak to open-raise profitably but has enough equity to complete at 4:1 pot odds as part of a limping range.

I have a decent hand with an Ace, but I'm out of position postflop. Checking allows me to see a flop cheaply and evaluate.

T3o has no pair and no draw on A-7-4 with two clubs, so there's little equity to bet. Out of position in a limped pot, checking keeps the pot small and gives up little.

I have top pair with a decent kicker on a draw-heavy board, so I bet for value and protection.

Ten-high with no pair and no real draw, out of position on an ace-high two-tone board. Even at 3:1 pot odds, my realizable equity is too low to continue profitably.

A7o is a clear open from the button in 3-handed play, so a standard 2.5bb raise works to steal the blinds.

6-7 offsuit is too weak to continue out of position against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act behind. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

36 offsuit is far too weak to defend against a button raise, especially out of position.

Strong hand with AKo on the button, raising for value and to put pressure on the blinds.

2-6 offsuit is far too weak to defend against a button open from the small blind.

Getting about 3.25:1 in the big blind against a wide button open, 65o has enough equity and playability to defend by calling.

The A-A-7 board heavily favors the button's opening range, and 65o has no pair and only a weak gutshot, so I check to the preflop raiser. I can decide on continuing after seeing his action.

I have trip aces with a strong kicker, so I should bet for value against the opponent's check. A moderate bet builds the pot while keeping weaker hands in.

Six-high with only backdoor straight and flush draws on a paired-ace board has too little equity to call a 400-chip bet into 650. A check-raise bluff isn't credible enough here, so folding is the low-risk choice.

Raise the button with premium A-K offsuit to build value and retain initiative against the blinds.

A4s from the small blind against a 3x button open in 3-handed play is a solid 3-bet candidate: the ace blocks strong hands, it plays well when called, and it can take down the pot preflop. Sizing to 11bb works out of position.

T3o is far too weak to continue against a raise and a re-raise, especially out of position. Folding preserves chips for a better spot.

AK suited is a premium hand and performs well as a 4-bet against the small blind's 3-bet. Raising applies pressure while retaining room for postflop play.

A4s is out of position against a 4-bet, and calling leaves an awkward stack-to-pot ratio of about 1.4 with poor equity against a likely strong range. A 5-bet jam needs too many folds to be clearly profitable, so I'll let the hand go.

A3o on the button in a 3-handed game is a clear opening hand. A standard 2.5bb raise-first-in puts pressure on both blinds.

5-9 offsuit is too weak to continue against a raise out of position, especially with the big blind still to act behind me.

As-8 suited is comfortably strong enough to defend the big blind against a small button raise heads-up, while calling keeps the pot manageable.

With ace-high on a coordinated K-Q-high flop, checking preserves flexibility and avoids inflating the pot against the preflop raiser.

Heads up in position as the preflop raiser on a K-Q-7 board with two clubs. The ace of clubs gives me the nut flush draw blocker, a backdoor nut flush draw and a gutshot to broadway, so a small c-bet uses my range advantage and has good equity if called.

The small continuation bet gives favorable immediate odds, and ace-high retains reasonable equity against a wide button c-bet range while preserving flexibility on later streets.

Ace-high has limited showdown value on this coordinated board, and checking controls the pot while allowing a free river.

Semi-bluff barrel with a gutshot to the nut straight and an ace blocker. This puts pressure on weak pairs and draws that checked to me.

With only a gutshot to Broadway and uncertain ace outs versus continued betting, the turn price is not favorable.

J9 offsuit is a strong enough heads-up small-blind holding to raise for value and initiative after the button folds.

A3o in the big blind against a wide small-blind steal has plenty of equity at 3.0:1 pot odds, and we have position postflop. Calling is preferred over 3-betting with a weak kicker.

Betting top two pair for value and protection on this highly connected flop.

Ace-high with no draw on a connected J-9-8 board facing a 40% pot bet from the preflop raiser; equity is too low to continue profitably.
