Hold'em table

As button with AKo, raise for value and take initiative; 300 is a strong, standard open size against the blinds.

Seven-deuce offsuit is too weak to defend against a 3bb button raise from the small blind, especially with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids investing more chips with poor equity and playability out of position.

6-Jack offsuit is a weak hand. Against a 3x raise from seat_1 and facing a 200 chip call to win 450, the pot odds don't justify playing this marginal holding out of position in a 3-handed game.

73 suited is too weak for a standard button open with both blinds still to act. Without evidence that they overfold, folding is preferable to investing in a low-equity hand.

2-9o is one of the worst hands in poker. With only 50 chips already committed to the small blind and a weak hand, folding minimizes losses when facing a bet from the big blind. The button folded, so we're heads-up against the big blind who likely has a range advantage.

K4o is a weak hand in early position. Folding minimizes losses and preserves chips for stronger opportunities.

With the button folded, completing costs only 50 chips into a 150-chip pot. 7♣5♦ is weak, so I’ll avoid inflating the pot and see a flop cheaply.

With 7-6 offsuit, take the free flop in position against the small blind. There is no need to inflate the pot with a weak hand and no information suggesting the opponent overfolds to raises.

A small flop bet can get value from weaker pairs and deny equity to overcards in this limped pot. If called or raised, I can reassess on later streets.

Seven-high with only a backdoor straight draw is too weak to continue against this half-pot bet. With no meaningful blockers or strong draw, bluff-raising is less attractive than folding.

Q3 offsuit is marginal, but on the button three-handed it is worth opening to apply pressure to the blinds. A small raise keeps the risk controlled while giving them a chance to fold.

T4 offsuit is too weak to defend against a button raise from the small blind, especially with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids investing more chips with poor equity realization out of position.

A6 offsuit is strong enough to open on the button three-handed. Raising to 2.5 big blinds pressures the blinds while leveraging position and the ace blocker.

K7o is a weak hand in early position facing a raise. Folding preserves chips and avoids a marginal situation where I'm likely behind better holdings.

J-4 offsuit is too weak to defend against the button’s raise, even with the discount from the big blind.

King-four offsuit is a weak hand in early position. Against two opponents with blinds already posted, folding preserves chips for better opportunities rather than calling 100 chips with a marginal hand that is likely dominated.

Pocket eights are strong heads-up against the big blind, so I raise for value and to take initiative rather than invite a cheap flop.

J6 suited is a reasonable big-blind defend against a small-blind open, needing 33% equity at this price. Calling preserves positional advantage postflop without inflating the pot with a marginal hand.

With 88 on an ace-high, connected flop, I have some showdown value but little reason to build a pot. Checking keeps weaker hands in and avoids inflating the pot against an ace.

Middle pair has showdown value and a backdoor flush draw, but betting rarely gets called by worse on this ace-high flop. Checking keeps the pot controlled and lets us realize equity in position.

With 88 on an ace-high board, I have some showdown value but little reason to inflate the pot; checking keeps weaker hands in and avoids a raise.

After two checks from the small blind, a small bet gets thin value from weaker pairs and draws while denying equity to overcards. This sizing protects our pair without committing much against better hands.

The small turn bet after a checked-through flop can include bluffs and weaker pairs, and pocket eights retain useful showdown value. The pot odds make a call preferable to folding.

With a modest pair on an ace-high board, a river bet is unlikely to get called by worse. I’ll check and take the showdown value.

Our pair of sixes has showdown value against missed draws and weaker pairs. Betting is unlikely to get called by enough worse hands or fold out enough better hands, so checking back is best.
