Hold'em table

Pocket sixes on the button is a standard raise; I'll take the initiative and try to win the pot or play in position.

T8 suited from the small blind facing a 3x button open with the big blind still to act is a marginal spot out of position; folding is fine, calling would be playable but SB defense with T8s vs 3x is slightly -EV in 3-handed play.

98o has enough equity and straight playability to defend the big blind against a wide button open, needing only about 31% to call.

Top pair with a flush draw on a wet board is strong against a button raiser; betting builds the pot and protects against overcards.

Overpair of sixes on a dry board; I raise for value and to charge draws, keeping the pot manageable against a check-raise range.

Top pair plus a heart flush draw gives strong equity against a flop raise; calling 800 into 2250 needs only about 26% and keeps the pot controlled.

Top pair with a medium kicker after facing a flop raise; checking the turn controls the pot and lets me evaluate opponent's sizing before committing more.

My overpair 66 is likely best; seat_3's turn check suggests weakness or a missed draw, so I bet for value and to charge draws.

Top pair plus a heart flush draw gives roughly 12-14 outs against overpairs or better nines, exceeding the 27% equity needed to call 1800 into 4850 with implied odds on the river.

Pair of nines cannot win at showdown against his strong flop reraise and turn bet range, but I hold the 8h and my call-down line credibly represents the heart draw that completed on the Jh river, so a pot-sized shove maximizes fold equity.

My underpair of sixes only beats a bluff, and seat_3's flop raise, turn call, and river shove line plus the Jh completing draws suggests strong made hands. Folding saves 6700 chips.

Suited connector on the button in a 3-handed game is a standard open; raising to 2.5bb takes initiative with position against both blinds.

A7o has good equity against a wide button open in 3-handed play and the price is reasonable, while 3-betting offsuit weak ace OOP risks domination.

T5o is far too weak to defend for 150 more against a raise and a call; folding is clearly best.

Nut flush draw with ace high has strong equity heads-up; semi-bluffing 2/3 pot can win immediately and builds pot for when clubs hit.

I have 6h7h with no pair, no draw on Kc Jc 8d (only a backdoor straight draw at best). Facing a 400 lead into 600, my equity is too low to continue; folding is clearly correct.

Pocket jacks on the button in a 3-handed game is a premium hand well ahead of both blinds' ranges. Raising to 3x builds the pot in position and charges weaker hands to continue.

T4o is a weak hand facing a 3x raise out of position; folding is clearly best.

Q9o in the big blind facing a 3x button open with SB folded; getting 450:200 pot odds and closing the action, a call is standard while 3-betting is too loose for this hand.

Flopped trips with a weak kicker out of position vs the preflop raiser; checking lets the aggressor continuation-bet so I can check-raise or call and build the pot with a disguised strong hand.

With JJ on a paired Q-Q-K two-spade board after the big blind checks, a small bet protects against overcards and flush draws while getting value from lower pairs and keeping the pot manageable if raised.

Flopped trips queens on QQK; raising the small c-bet builds the pot against Kx, pairs, and draws while we're far ahead of most of button's range.

JJ makes queens and jacks on a QQK board, losing to any queen or king. The big blind's check-raise, combined with my jack blockers reducing his likely straight and flush draws, points to a value-heavy range where I lack the pot odds to continue.

AQs is strong from the button; a standard 3x raise builds the pot and applies pressure on the blinds.

8-4 offsuit in the small blind facing a 3x button open is a clear fold; it plays poorly out of position and has little equity against an opening range.

KTo is a standard big blind defense against a button 3x open, getting a good price heads-up with a hand that flops well.

King-high with no pair or real draw on an ace-high flop that favors the preflop raiser; checking keeps the pot controlled and lets me evaluate his flop action.

Top pair top kicker on an A-high board; I bet for value and protection against draws, keeping the pot manageable against the BB caller.

King-high with no pair and no real draw on an ace-high board facing a preflop raiser's flop bet out of position; calling 400 lacks the equity and playability to continue.

4s6d offsuit on the button is a weak, unconnected-suit hand with poor playability; folding preflop is the standard play.

8-2 offsuit is one of the weakest hands and I am out of position against the big blind; completing would be negative EV despite the small price.

7-2 suited is the weakest starting hand and not worth calling a big blind even on the button in a 3-handed game.
