Hold'em table

Opening on the button in 3-handed play with Q8o to steal the blinds or take position postflop.

AJo in the small blind facing a button min-raise with a big blind still to act is a marginal hand that plays poorly out of position. Calling 150 is cheap enough with good pot odds and avoids bloating the pot when I'm often dominated.

Calling one more big blind gives me good pot odds in a three-way pot. T6 offsuit is weak, but the price is low enough to see a flop.

Top pair with an ace kicker on a dry K-high flop, 3-way pot, first to act. Betting about 2/3 pot for value and protection against overcards and draws.

I have no pair or immediate draw, and a 400-chip bet into two opponents makes continuing unprofitable.

I hold second pair with a strong kicker in position and am getting 2.5:1 pot odds against a donk lead, making a call profitable.

Top pair with the nut ace kicker on a K-J-8-4 board, heads-up and out of position. I bet about half pot for value and to charge draws, since the opponent only called the flop raise.

Holding third pair with a weak kicker facing a flop donk lead and a substantial turn barrel, our equity is low and reverse implied odds are high.

Q7o on the button in a 3-handed game is a marginal but playable hand, and calling 100 to win a 250 pot gives a good price without bloating the pot out of position later.

Completing for 50 gives good pot odds with Q6 offsuit, while raising would build a larger pot out of position with a marginal hand.

ATo is well ahead of two limping ranges in a 3-handed pot; raising for value and to thin the field.

Q7o is weak, and I would be out of position against a raiser from the big blind with the small blind still to act behind me. Paying 350 to call is not worth it.

Q6 offsuit is too weak to call a large preflop raise out of position.

Q6 offsuit is a marginal but playable button open in a three-handed game. A small raise uses position while limiting the investment.

76s has good playability and implied odds against a button open, making a flat call profitable given the price.

6-2 offsuit is the worst starting hand, and calling 125 into a 550 pot out of position against two opponents is not profitable, so I fold.

I completely missed this heavy Broadway board with 7-high, so checking to the preflop raiser is standard.

Top pair can get value from weaker pairs and draws, while a modest bet protects against the many overcards and straight draws on this board.

I completely missed this heavy broadway board with seven-high and virtually no equity or backdoor potential against the button's continuation bet.

Ten-deuce suited is too weak to open profitably from the button even in 3-handed play.

9s8c is a decent suited-ish connector-type hand heads-up against the big blind; calling 50 more into a 150 pot gets a good price (3-to-1) and it plays well postflop.

With pocket deuces against a small-blind limp, I can see the flop for free and play in position without building a large pot.

Middle pair (8s) with a backdoor flush draw and gutshot-ish (9-8 with J-K: needs 10 and Q... actually open-ended-ish via 10) plus position disadvantage; a small bet of 100 into 200 builds the pot and charges draws while heads-up against a big blind that checked preflop.}

Pocket deuces have little chance to improve on this K-J-8 flop and no strong draw. Calling the bet is unlikely to be profitable.

Ts4d is a weak offsuit hand that plays poorly against two opponents, and calling 100 out of position after the blinds isn't worth it. Folding is the simplest choice.

Q7 suited is strong enough to raise against the big blind, giving me a chance to win the pot preflop.

Holding T2 offsuit facing an open raise from the small blind is an easy fold.

J5 suited is strong enough to open on the button three-handed, and a modest raise uses position without building an oversized pot.

T2o is extremely weak and plays terribly out of position facing an open raise.

Q5 offsuit in the big blind is getting 400 to 150 (about 2.7-to-1) against a button open, and the Q high has some playability, so calling is fine. A 3-bet bluff with this hand is not attractive.

Top pair (queens) with a weak kicker on a fairly dry board, heads-up and out of position against a button opening range. Betting about 64% of the pot gets value from worse queens and draws and denies equity to overcards.

J-high has no pair or immediate draw on this flop. Calling a sizable bet with so little equity is unlikely to be profitable.
