Hold'em table

K5o is too weak of an offsuit king to profitably open from the button in a standard 3-handed structure.

Heads-up against the big blind after the button folded, Qc4s is a reasonable hand. Only 50 more to call for a pot of 150 is a good price, so I complete rather than fold or raise with a marginal holding.

Ace-high is ahead of much of the small blind's limping range. Raising builds the pot when I likely have the best hand and gives me initiative.

Q4 offsuit is weak out of position against a big blind raise to 400 with a button still folded; calling 300 more to play a marginal hand out of position is a losing spot.

A6 suited-ish? Actually A6 offsuit on the button in 3-handed play is a playable hand with the ace blocker, and calling 100 into a 150 pot gets a good price without bloating the pot out of position risk. Calling is low-variance and reasonable.

KJo is strong enough to raise against a button limp in three-handed play. Raising to 450 pressures the limper and gives the big blind a tougher decision.

Holding 85 offsuit facing a raise from the small blind and a limper, this hand is too weak to continue with out of position.

A6s on the button is a reasonable call against a small blind 4.5x raise. The price is 350 to win 650, and I have position, so I call rather than 3-bet or fold.

The dry ace-high flop favors my preflop raising range. A small continuation bet can fold out weaker unpaired hands without risking much.

Top two pair (aces and sixes) on a 4-A-6 board is very strong. Raising builds the pot against a possible draw or a weaker ace, and 900 is a reasonable size.

With king-high and no strong draw on an ace-high flop, calling the raise out of position is unlikely to be profitable.

T6 offsuit is too weak to open profitably against two players with 100-big-blind stacks.

Q9o is ahead of a random BB holding in a blind vs blind battle, so I raise to 3x BB to take initiative.

6-9 offsuit is a weak hand, and calling 200 more out of position against a small-blind raise to 300 is marginal at best. Folding gives up only the 100 big blind already posted.

76 offsuit is too weak to open profitably from the button 3-handed 100bb deep.

A2 suited is a strong hand heads-up against the big blind, with the button already folded. Raising to 3bb for value and to take the initiative is better than limping in. Position is out of position but the hand plays well.

Q9 offsuit has enough equity to defend the big blind against a small-blind raise, and I’ll have position after the flop.

Ace-high on a paired 8-8-4 board, heads-up out of position against the big blind's calling range. A small bet of about half the pot gets value from worse aces and folds out overcards like KQ or JT, and it also protects my hand. I am the preflop raiser, so the range advantage favors a continuation bet.

Q9 offsuit has no club or substantial draw on this paired flop. Against a half-pot bet, this is a weak hand to continue with.

Q8o on the button in a 3-handed game is a marginal but playable hand. Calling 100 to win a 150 pot gets a good price and keeps the risk low, and I have position after the flop.

Calling 50 more offers good pot odds with 9-8 offsuit, while raising would build a larger pot out of position with a marginal hand.

I am in the big blind with 62o facing two limpers; checking to see a free flop is the standard and highest EV play.

I have no pair or meaningful draw on this flop, and betting into two opponents from out of position is unlikely to be profitable.

I have a gutshot straight draw in a multiway limped pot; taking a free card by checking is standard.

Top pair (queen) on a dry flop after both opponents checked; a bet of about two-thirds pot (200 into 300) gets value from worse queens and draws and denies equity. The 8 kicker is weak, so I keep the sizing modest.

Nine-high has no pair or immediate draw on this flop, so calling the bet with another player still to act is unprofitable.

Holding only a gutshot straight draw with 2-6 on a Q-4-3 rainbow board, calling a two-thirds pot bet out of position lacks the direct and implied odds required.

K5 suited is a profitable button open three-handed, and a 2.5-big-blind raise gives it a chance to win the blinds while retaining position postflop.

Folding T6s out of position against a button raise, as it is too weak to defend profitably.

7s3s is a weak hand; calling 150 to win 400 gives decent odds (27%) but I'd be out of position with a poor hand, and the button's range is wide. Folding is the simplest option, though marginal.
