Hold'em table

A-T offsuit is strong enough to open on the button three-handed. A 2.5 big-blind raise builds the pot while keeping the preflop investment modest.

5c 3h is a very weak offsuit hand out of position facing a raise, making it an easy fold.

K6o has enough equity against a wide button open to profitably call 150 into 400, closing the action and seeing a flop.

I have only king-high on a jack-high flop with no strong draw, so checking to the preflop raiser is the safest way to control the pot and see a free turn.

A small continuation bet can fold out weaker unpaired hands while keeping the cost of a bluff modest on this draw-heavy flop.

I am getting 3.75:1 with a K overcard and backdoor heart draw against a small button flop bet, so calling keeps the pot controlled and realizes equity.

I have no pair and no draw, and I am out of position. Checking allows me to see a free turn and avoid inflating the pot with a weak hand.

The turn gives me top pair. Betting for value can get calls from jacks and heart draws while charging those draws to continue.

I have K-high with no pair or realistic draw, facing a turn bet from a player who raised preflop and has barreled flop and turn. Folding is clearly best.

Open-raising 87s from the button to 2.5bb for standard value and playability in 3-handed play.

With 2d3h in the small blind facing a button raise, this hand is too weak to continue profitably, so folding avoids further investment out of position.

AQ offsuit is strong against a button opening range. A three-bet builds value and reduces the positional disadvantage of playing from the big blind.

Holding 87s in position against a BB 3-bet with zero rake, calling to realize equity and play postflop with deep implied odds.

Top pair with a strong kicker is ahead of many hands that called the three-bet. A modest bet gets value while charging club draws.

I completely missed the flop with eight-high and have virtually no drawing equity against the preflop 3-bettor's c-bet on an Ace-King board.

K2o is a weak offsuit hand with poor playability and reverse implied odds; folding from the button avoids investing chips out of position against two blinds.

Pocket fours are strong enough to play heads-up against the big blind. A modest raise gives us a chance to win the pot now while keeping the risk manageable.

Q2o is too weak to defend against a small blind raise, so folding is standard.

On the button, 5♦3♦ is a playable suited hand. A small open-raise uses position while keeping the risk modest.

AKo is a premier hand and standard 3-bet for value against a button open from the small blind.

A5s has strong blocker and nut-flush potential, and cold-calling out of position against a 3-bet invites the button to continue. I choose a 4-bet to apply pressure and avoid a marginal multiway pot.

Five-three suited is too weak to continue against a large three-bet, especially with the small blind still in the pot.

AKo holds premium blockers to AA and KK, making a 5-bet all-in standard to maximize fold equity and realize equity against the cold 4-bet range.

As5s is too weak against a 5-bet all-in range, and the pot odds do not justify calling 7000 more with insufficient equity.

K4 offsuit is slightly too weak to open profitably from the button even in 3-handed play.

We have a strong suited ace in a heads-up blind battle, so we raise for value and to take initiative.

KQo is strong against a small-blind opening range. A three-bet applies pressure while retaining position postflop.

Suited ace has enough equity and implied odds against a likely wide 3-bet from the big blind in a 3-handed game; calling keeps the pot manageable while realizing flush and straight potential.

I have top pair with an ace kicker on a dry board. I'll bet for value and protection against draws.

KQ has only overcards and a remote backdoor straight draw on this flop. Facing a substantial lead in a three-bet pot, calling is unlikely to be profitable.

93o is too weak to call a raise preflop even on the button, and raising into two blind defenders risks chips with a dominated holding. Folding preserves stack.

KJ suited is strong heads-up against the big blind, so I raise for value rather than limp.

Holding King-six offsuit in the big blind with postflop position against a small blind open, getting 2-to-1 direct pot odds with zero rake makes this a standard call.

This low, connected flop favors the big blind's calling range. With only two overcards and a backdoor flush draw, I prefer to check.

We hold top pair on a connected board; checking back controls the pot size and avoids a check-raise while under-repping our hand in position.

K-high has little showdown value, but this paired low board favors the big blind's range. With no diamond or straight-draw blockers, a turn bluff is unlikely to fold out many better hands.

I have two pair (Sixes and Threes) with a King kicker and good showdown value. Checking back controls the pot and lets me see the river in position.

Top pair with a good kicker is likely ahead after both players checked the flop and turn. A 400-chip bet can get value from pocket pairs and weaker kings.

I have Kings and Sixes, which beats any single pair of Kings or weaker two pair, making this a clear call against a river bet of 400 into 600.
