Hold'em table

A6 offsuit is a clear button open in three-handed play. Raising applies pressure to the blinds while retaining initiative.

4-2 is the worst hand in poker. Against a raise to 250 from seat_1, folding is the correct play. This weak hand has no real equity and will lose money long-term if called.

K5s has enough equity against a likely wide button open, and I'm closing the action preflop with good pot odds. Calling keeps the pot manageable while realizing suited-king potential.

I flopped two pair and want to build the pot against a button raiser who likely has a wide range. Betting also protects my hand from overcards.

The small continuation bet can contain many unpaired overcards and weak pairs, while ace-high retains showdown value and position for later streets. Calling keeps their bluffs in at a favorable price.

Villain's turn check after leading the paired flop often caps them at a marginal pair or missed hand. A moderate continuation bet credibly represents a queen or strong overpair and can fold out much of that range.

J7o is a weak hand in early position and not worth investing chips. Folding preserves stack equity and avoids playing marginal hands out of position.

5d2h is the weakest offsuit hand and plays poorly out of position; even getting 3:1, continuing risks more chips with little equity.

T9o has decent playability in position, and a button raise can take down the blinds or isolate weaker hands. I prefer applying pressure rather than calling and playing a marginal hand multiway.

Q3 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button 3x open, especially out of position with the big blind still behind.

King-two offsuit is a weak hand out of position against a button raise. The 3x raise from seat_3 likely represents a reasonable range, and folding preserves chips for better spots.

8-6 offsuit is too weak to open from the button under these conditions; folding preserves chips.

K7o is a weak hand in the small blind facing a raise. With only 50 chips invested and needing to call 50 more to a 3-handed pot, folding weak hands like this maximizes expected value in the long run when facing raises from the big blind position.

Ace-six is a decent hand in position on the button. Raising to 300 (3x BB) is a standard aggressive play that puts pressure on the blinds and allows me to potentially win the pot preflop or take it down with position post-flop.

K2o is too weak to defend against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids playing a dominated hand out of position.

J7 offsuit is a marginal but reasonable big-blind defense heads-up against a button open, with favorable pot odds and playable equity.

I have a marginal top-pair-like holding on a highly connected board and prefer to keep the pot controlled while allowing the preflop raiser to c-bet.

I have a pair of sixes with ace kicker on a 6-9-7 board. Seat 1 checked, so I should check behind to maintain pot control and see the turn before committing more chips. This is a moderately strong hand that benefits from a free card.

I bet my pair of sevens for thin value and protection against overcards and draws after the flop checked through. The paired turn makes a modest sizing preferable.

I have 6h-As with a pair of 6s on a board of 6d-9c-7s-9s. My hand has modest strength (two pair is possible if the river is a 9), but calling 300 more chips to see the river is reasonable given pot odds and my stack depth. Folding strong hands rarely helps, and raising risks overcommitting with marginal equity.

Our pair of sevens has modest showdown value, but a river value bet is unlikely to be called by many worse hands after the turn call. Checking avoids paying off a stronger nine, straight, or overpair.

I have 6h-As for a pair of sixes on a paired board (6d-9c-7s-9s-4h). After checking the river, I can safely check behind to see showdown without risking additional chips, as my hand is vulnerable but has some showdown value against seat_1's range.

K7o on the button has enough equity in a 3-handed game; raising applies pressure on the blinds and leverages position. I will fold to a reraise.

T2 offsuit is far too weak to defend the small blind against a button raise, especially with the big blind still behind.

3-2 offsuit is a weak hand in a three-way pot, especially facing a button raise from a strong position. The raiser to 300 after the small blind folded shows strength, and calling puts me in a difficult spot with poor equity. Folding minimizes losses against a likely better hand.
