Hold'em table

79o is too weak to open even from the button in a three-handed game; folding costs nothing since I have no chips invested.

Pocket queens is a strong hand; raise to build the pot against the big blind now that the button folded.

Q7 suited has good playability heads-up in the big blind against a small-blind raise, and the price to call is reasonable to defend.

I hold an overpair but the ace is scary; a moderate c-bet balances value extraction against the risk of facing a stronger ace.

Queen-high with no pair or real draw on an Ace-Jack board facing a 400 bet from the preflop raiser; calling is unlikely to be profitable.

Q3 offsuit is weak out of position relative to blinds acting after me; not worth calling from the button with a marginal hand.

Ace-six suited is strong heads-up against the big blind after the button folded, so raising builds the pot and takes initiative.

Q8 offsuit is too weak to continue out of position against a small-blind raise after the button folded. Folding avoids putting more chips in with a dominated, low-equity hand.

On the button three-handed, K2o is in a wide stealing range and I have position postflop. A small open pressures both blinds to fold or play out of position.

QTo offsuit is playable enough to defend the small blind against a 2.5bb button open; calling 200 keeps the pot small and avoids bloating it out of position.

Out of position with second pair and a ten kicker on a king-high flop, I prefer to check and control the pot against the preflop raiser.

Top pair on a dry K-Q-4 board heads-up in position; a half-pot bet gets value from Qx and draws while protecting my weak kicker.

I have second pair on KQ4 and only need to call 300 into 900. That price is good enough to continue against a button c-bet rather than fold or raise a weak kicker.

I have only a pair of queens on an ace-king board after calling a flop bet, so checking the free turn avoids building a pot against a likely stronger range.

The ace turn improves many flop calling hands and completes Broadway draws, while my pair of kings has only weak showdown value. Checking in position controls the pot and avoids building it against better aces, kings with better kickers, or straights.

I have the nut Broadway straight with Th on J-Q-K-A. Betting about two-thirds pot for value against sets, two pair, and strong one-pair hands that can call.

I have only second pair of kings with board kickers playing, while opponent's check-call then river lead for 800 is consistent with an ace, a ten for Broadway, or two pair. Needing about 29% equity against that value-heavy range, a fold preserves chips.

Q2 offsuit is too weak to open from the button into two live blinds; folding avoids a dominated, low-equity spot.

AK is a premium hand heads-up against the BB after the button folded; raising to build the pot and isolate.

AQ offsuit is a premium hand heads-up against a small-blind open, dominating much of their raising range. A 3-bet to 1000 builds value while keeping worse aces and queens in.

AK is strong enough to four-bet for value and to apply pressure on a wide 3-bet range, while keeping enough stack depth to play postflop if called.

AQ is strong three-handed and I have position on the small blind postflop. Calling the 4-bet for 1600 into 3600 is better than folding or jamming into a strong range.

Missed the paired Q-5-5 flop with just AK high; checking to control pot size against a range that showed strength preflop.

With top pair top kicker on Q-5-5 and low SPR after the 4-bet pot, betting half pot gets value from worse pairs and AK while charging club draws.

Pocket 7s on the button; raise for value and to isolate against the blinds while building a pot with a decent hand.

J2 offsuit is very weak facing a button raise to 300 from the small blind; calling 250 out of position has poor equity and playability.

K4 offsuit is too weak to defend the big blind against a button open to 300, so folding is the highest-EV option.

K6o on the button in 3-handed play is strong enough to open; raising pressures the blinds and leverages position rather than limping.

K4 suited is too weak to continue out of position against a button open with the big blind still to act, so folding is the highest-EV line.

Weak offsuit low cards facing a raise, not worth continuing.
