Hold'em table

On the button with pocket Queens, standard open raise to 2.5bb for value and position.

Q5 offsuit plays poorly out of position against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

Defend the big blind getting favorable pot odds with an ace against a button min-raise.

Check to the preflop raiser with bottom pair and an ace kicker, keeping their range wide while retaining equity.

I hold an overpair on a relatively dry, disconnected board. A small continuation bet of roughly one-third pot extracts value from second pairs and underpairs while maintaining range advantage in position.

We have bottom pair with an ace kicker versus a small heads-up continuation bet on a dry board. Calling keeps in the opponent's broad c-bet range while avoiding inflating the pot with a marginal hand.

Our bottom pair has some showdown value but is too weak to build a large pot on this paired board. Checking keeps weaker hands and bluffs available while avoiding a thin value bet.

Betting for value and protection against lower pocket pairs and gutshot straight draws on a paired board.

A3 has a pair with an ace kicker and sufficient equity against a button opening range that can include overcards and draws. The turn price is reasonable, so I continue.

Our pair of threes has some showdown value against missed broadway and club draws, while a bluff is unlikely to fold out the king- and jack-heavy portion of the opponent's twice-barreling range.

With the river King bringing overcards and completing potential holdings that called two barrels, Queens have solid showdown value to check behind against missed draws and lower pairs.

Pocket queens are a premium hand, so I raise for value from the button.

Q8 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button 3x open with the big blind still behind.

Calling 200 chips getting over 2:1 immediate pot odds closing the action heads-up with a pocket pair, having sufficient implied odds to set-mine.

Check out of position with a weak pocket pair on a paired King board, planning to evaluate versus villain's continuation bet.

Queens are often ahead on this paired, dry flop. A small bet gets value from weaker pairs and denies equity to ace-high hands without building a large pot against a king.

Pocket threes have very poor playability and minimal equity against the button's continuation betting range on a paired king-high board.

K4 offsuit is a weak button hand in a three-handed game and does not merit entering at this stack depth.

86o is too weak to complete or raise out of position against the big blind.

Q4o is too weak to open even from the button in 3-handed play.

With 8-7 offsuit in the small blind, completing for 50 chips is a low-cost way to see a flop against the big blind.

J2 offsuit is too weak to inflate the pot from the big blind, and checking realizes its equity for free heads-up.

I have no pair or meaningful draw on an ace-high flop, so I’ll check rather than build the pot.

Betting the minimum with middle pair targets weaker limped hands and denies equity while keeping the pot controlled against an ace-heavy continuing range.

Eight-seven offsuit has no pair or immediate straight draw on this flop. Out of position against a bet, folding avoids investing more with little equity.

5♦2♦ is too weak to open profitably from the button at this stack depth without a reason to expect the blinds to fold often.

K4 offsuit is a weak heads-up blind holding with poor playability; folding avoids defending too loosely.

2-4 offsuit is too weak to enter with from the button under this structure; folding avoids a low-equity spot.

T3o is far too weak to open-complete or raise from the small blind against the big blind.
