Hold'em table

QJs is a strong suited broadway on the button in a three-handed game, so I open to 3x to build the pot and take the initiative rather than flat the big blind.

Holding 3c 2s in the small blind facing an open raise from the button, this is the worst possible starting hand and an easy fold.

6♠2♣ is a very weak offsuit hand and does not have enough equity to call a 3-big-blind button raise.

Opening from the button with K7o in 3-handed play with no rake, which is profitable to steal blinds.

Q6 offsuit is too weak to defend the small blind against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

65s has enough equity and playability versus a button min-raise, and calling 100 into 350 is priced well enough to continue.

I have two pair on a paired-ace flop, but any ace or higher pocket pair is ahead and the preflop raiser can easily have those. With no bet facing me, checking keeps the pot small and realizes showdown value.

As the preflop raiser on an A-A-5 paired board, we hold a significant range advantage, making a one-third pot continuation bet highly profitable against BB's checking range.

I have aces and fives on a paired board and the small c-bet gives me excellent pot odds. Raising mostly folds out worse hands and gets called by trips, so calling is best.

I have only a weak pair of fives on a paired-ace board against the preflop and flop aggressor, so betting has little value. Checking keeps the pot small and preserves the option to fold if they bet.

Turned a second pair giving us Aces and Sevens with a strong King kicker; checking behind controls the pot size and allows us to realize showdown value.

I have only a weak pair of fives on an ace-paired board, and I can see a free showdown. Betting would mostly get called by better hands, so checking is best.

I have two pair (Aces and Sevens with a King kicker), which has solid showdown value against missed floats or small pocket pairs, but little value to gain by betting.

J8 offsuit is a reasonable button open in a three-handed game; raising applies pressure and takes initiative while keeping the sizing modest.

5-2 suited is too weak to continue out of position against a button raise to 2.5bb. Folding avoids putting more chips in with a dominated, low-equity hand.

KTo has plenty of equity and favorable pot odds (calling 150 to win 400) to defend the big blind against a button open.

I missed the flop completely with King-high out of position against the preflop aggressor on an Ace-high board, so checking is the standard play.

I have a modest pair on an ace-high board, so checking behind keeps the pot small and gives me a chance to improve or reach showdown cheaply.

I hold King-high with no made hand after defending the big blind. Checking to the preflop aggressor on the paired Ace turn allows me to control the pot.

With a pair of eights on a paired-ace board, I have some showdown value but little reason to build the pot. Checking behind keeps weaker hands and missed draws in while avoiding a check-raise.

I hold King-high with some showdown value against missed floats, and checking allows a free showdown without risking a bluff call.

My pair of eights gives two pair with the board, a reasonable showdown hand after the opponent checked. A value bet is unlikely to be called by worse often enough, while checking avoids running into a slow-played ace.

T4s is a weak but suited button hand in three-handed play, so a small open applies pressure and can win the blinds without committing much.

K3s is too weak to call or 3-bet out of position against a button raise with the big blind still to act.

87 suited is a reasonable big-blind defend against a button raise, and the price is favorable with deep stacks.

I have a strong heart flush draw, but checking out of position lets the preflop raiser act and keeps the pot manageable if I miss.

I have a weak pair of fours on an ace-high flop and the big blind checked. Checking back realizes showdown value without bloating the pot against a range that often has an ace or better.

I picked up a pair and a flush draw, so a modest turn bet can get value or protection while building the pot when I have substantial river equity.

Bottom pair with a weak kicker is behind most of seat_3's turn betting range, and the price is not good enough to continue out of position into a likely river bet.

Opening with pocket tens from the button is a standard value raise to 2.5x big blinds.

2♥3♠ is a very weak offsuit hand, and calling a button raise from the small blind would put me out of position with the big blind still to act.

Nine-five offsuit is too weak to continue against a button open after the small blind folds. Folding preserves the stack for better spots.

K7 suited is strong enough to open from the button in a three-handed game. A 2.5x raise pressures the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

J4o is too weak to continue from the small blind against a button open; folding avoids a dominated, poorly connected hand.

T7o is too weak to defend out of position against a button raise.
