Hold'em table

K3 suited on the button in 3-handed play is a standard open; a 2.5bb raise pressures both blinds.

J5o is too weak to continue against a button raise out of position, especially with the big blind still to act. Folding preserves chips.

J6 suited has sufficient playability to defend the big blind against a button min-open-plus sizing heads-up.

Check bottom pair to the preflop raiser; this keeps their bluffs and weaker hands in while avoiding inflating the pot.

Small c-bet in position on a board that favors my button raising range; K-high has some equity plus backdoors, and a cheap bet folds out many BB hands.

I have a pair and the small continuation bet gives favorable pot odds heads-up. Calling keeps in the opponent's broad c-bet range without inflating the pot.

I have trips with a solid kicker on a coordinated board. Leading for a moderate value bet charges draws and gets called by tens, fives, and weaker sixes.

K-high with no draw facing a turn lead on a wet, paired board. The pot odds (550 to win 2010) don't justify continuing with almost no equity.

Complete from the small blind with suited connected low cards against the big blind, taking a cheap heads-up flop with adequate implied potential.

52s is weak; checking the big blind against an SB limp takes a free flop in position, while raising would bloat the pot with a marginal hand.

With only a gutshot and weak showdown value on this coordinated flop, I will check and avoid building a pot out of position.

Heads-up in a limped pot after the SB checked, a small half-pot stab can take it down often. Our 5-2 has little showdown value but picks up backdoor straight and flush equity.

With only a gutshot and no pair, calling lacks the pot odds against the flop lead. Folding preserves chips rather than forcing a low-equity bluff.

Open-raise the button with a connected hand that plays well in position against the blinds.

99 is well ahead of a button opening range in 3-handed play, so 3-betting from the small blind for value and initiative is better than flatting out of position with the big blind still to act.

Q7 offsuit is far too weak to continue facing a 4-bet to 1000 chips out of position, and calling 900 more needs around 40% equity which I don't have against this range.

76o is too weak to continue against a large small-blind 3-bet after opening, especially at this sizing.

KJo on the button in 3-handed play is a strong open, so I'm raising to 2.5bb to take the initiative and pressure the blinds.

AT is strong enough to 3-bet against a button open, and raising to 750 puts pressure on the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

Q5 offsuit is too weak to defend against an open and a substantial 3-bet from the big blind.

KJo on the button facing an SB 3-bet: calling in position is reasonable given the 500 to call into 1100 and the positional edge; a 4-bet would be too loose and folding too tight against a wide 3-way blind 3-bet.

I have top pair with top kicker on a wet board, so I should bet for value and to protect against draws. A continuation bet around two-thirds pot puts pressure on worse hands and draws.

I hold the current nut straight (K-high), and the board is draw-heavy with clubs and paired-card redraws, so I raise for value and protection against overpairs, sets, and flush draws.

T2o is a very weak hand and not worth investing chips preflop, especially against the big blind's already strong range.

T4 offsuit is a weak, dominated hand from the small blind against the big blind; folding avoids realizing poor equity out of position.

K2 offsuit is a weak button holding and folds cleanly rather than entering with poor equity.

A6o is a clear raise in a blind-vs-blind spot. A 3x open puts pressure on the big blind and keeps the initiative.

I'm getting decent pot odds to call 200 more with K6o, and the small blind's raise could be a steal attempt. I'll see the flop and evaluate.

Top pair with a weak kicker on a dynamic ace-high board, out of position heads-up; a small c-bet for value and protection works well since the ace favors the preflop raiser's range.

I have a flush draw with the 6d plus the Ad and 3d on board, and I'm getting good pot odds to call this bet.

Top pair with a weak kicker on a board with a wheel draw and a flush draw. A medium bet gets value from weaker aces, 5x hands and draws, and protects my equity while keeping the pot controlled.
