Hold'em table

K2o on the button in a 3-handed pot is marginal and weak out of position against two players. Folding is safe, though a raise would be defensible.

With the button folded, calling 50 more gives 9-7 offsuit a cheap chance to see a flop against the big blind. Raising would build a larger pot out of position with a modest hand.

J3s is weak; free check in the big blind is correct.

I have an open-ended straight draw. A small bet can win the pot now while keeping the cost manageable if called.

J3s is a weak hand with no equity worth defending against a flop bet; folding minimizes losses.

J6 suited is playable as a button open in a three-handed game, and raising gives me a chance to take the blinds or play the hand in position.

Ace-high with a ten is strong enough to call a 2.5x raise in position; folding is too tight and 3-betting risks bloating the pot with a marginal hand.

QTo in the big blind is getting 600 to 150, roughly 4-to-1 pot odds, so a call is clearly profitable. Facing a button raise and a small blind call, a 3-bet with this hand is not worth it, so I take the flop cheaply.

I only hold ace-high on this coordinated board with no invested cost to continue; checking keeps the pot small and sees a free turn rather than bluffing two opponents.

Queen-high with a gutshot-ish backdoor on J-6-4 is weak, but we are in position-less spot; a small bet of about half pot takes a stab at a pot where the small blind checked and may fold hands like underpairs or overcards. Overcard Q with a backdoor spade draw gives some equity if called.}

Top two pair is strong on this draw-heavy flop. Raising the small bet builds value from worse jacks and draws while charging them to continue.

I only have ace-high on a coordinated board against a preflop raiser who check-raised to 1500; calling with no pair or draw is a losing proposition.

Queen-high with a backdoor draw only; facing a 3x raise on the flop, the button's range is strong and I need about 29% equity to call 1100 into 2650, which I likely lack against this line. Folding is reasonable. I would be drawing to overcards at best. Fold.

Queen-eight suited on the button is a standard open-raise; I'll take the initiative and try to win the blinds or play in position.

Pocket threes have good set-mining value against a 3x button open, and calling 250 into a 450 pot is cheap. A 3-bet out of the small blind is not attractive with such a weak pair, and folding gives up too much equity.

With 8-6 suited, calling 200 into a 700-chip pot offers good pot odds in a three-way hand.

A pocket pair of threes on a K-9-A board with two opponents behind is a weak showdown hand, and a bet would mostly get called or raised by better hands. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me see what the others do.

I have no made hand or meaningful draw on this multiway flop, so I’ll check rather than bluff into two opponents.

I raised preflop with Q8s and everyone called; on K-9-A I have nothing and both opponents checked. Free card, no value in betting into two callers on this board.

I hold a weak pair of threes on a K-9-A-5 board, so I can't value bet and can't stand a raise. The flop checked through and two opponents act behind me, so checking keeps the pot small and lets me reach showdown cheaply.

I have a flush draw and a gutshot, giving me strong drawing equity. A turn bet can also win the pot immediately against weaker hands.

Q8s has no pair or draw on K-9-A-5 and seat_2's turn bet after everyone checked the flop suggests a made hand. Folding is cheapest.

A pair of threes on a K-9-A-5 board is a weak bluff-catcher. Seat 2 bet 600 into 900 after checking the flop and sees me as the only opponent left. Calling needs about 29% equity, but the bet will mostly be value hands like a king or ace, plus some draws, so I'm likely behind and would still face pressure on the river. Folding is the safer play.

A5o on the button in 3-handed play is a solid open; the ace blocks strong hands and I have position, so a 3x raise is good.

T5 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a three-big-blind button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

T8s out of position against a 3x open is too weak to continue; folding is the standard profitable play.

A6 offsuit is strong enough to open on the button three-handed, and a 2.5-big-blind raise puts pressure on the blinds while preserving position.

T5o is far too weak to call 2.5x out of position with two players behind; folding is clearly best.

J5 offsuit is weak and out of position against a button open. Calling 150 to win 400 is tempting on price, but the hand plays poorly postflop, so folding is the cleaner choice.

Ace-high with a kicker on the button is a standard open; raising builds the pot with position and folds out weaker hands.

8c5h offsuit is a weak hand out of position in the small blind facing a 3x button raise with the big blind still to act. Calling 250 more is not profitable, so I fold.

K7 offsuit has enough equity to defend the big blind against a button raise, especially with the small blind's dead money in the pot.

King-high has little immediate equity on this ace-high flop, and betting out of position into the preflop raiser is unlikely to be profitable.

I hold top two pair (A2 on AQ8) after raising preflop; betting for value against the BB's check is clearly best.

King-high has little immediate equity against a flop bet on an ace-high board, and the backdoor draws do not justify calling out of position.
