Hold'em table

QJs is a strong button hand in a three-handed game, so I’m raising for value and initiative.

76 offsuit is too weak to continue out of position against a button open to 3bb. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

94o is an unplayable hand out of position facing a 3x open raise, making fold the clearly correct play.

A2o is playable as a button open in three-handed poker, so I raise to 2.5bb to take the initiative with position rather than limp or fold.

92s is far too weak to defend out of position against an open raise.

J6 suited is a reasonable big-blind defend against a small button raise, and the price is favorable heads-up.

I have no made hand and only a weak draw on a monotone, connected board, so I’ll take the free card rather than lead into the preflop raiser.

Ace-high with no pair and no heart draw on a monotone, connected flop has almost no equity if called, so a pure bluff is unattractive. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids spewing into a range that often has a piece here.

I have an open-ended straight draw with eight nominal outs, so a modest turn bet can combine equity with some fold equity after the flop checked through.

Ace-high with no pair and no heart draw is too weak to continue against a turn bet on this connected, three-flush board.

T6o is too weak to open from the button even 3-handed, making fold the standard play.

Q♥T♥ is a strong blind-versus-blind hand, so I raise for value and initiative rather than just completing the small blind.

82o is too weak to call a raise to 300; folding saves chips.

A♣T♠ is a strong button hand heads-up or three-handed, so raise for value and initiative. A 2.5x open is a solid sizing.

96 offsuit is too weak to continue from the small blind against a button open, especially with the big blind still to act.

With KQo in the big blind against a button open, calling 150 chips into a 400 pot offers great pot odds and allows us to see a flop comfortably.

Checking to the preflop raiser is standard out of position on this paired board with two overcards.

A small continuation bet uses my preflop range advantage on the paired board and can fold out some hands, while keeping the risk modest with ace-high and a backdoor nut-flush draw.

Getting over 4 to 1 on a paired low board, KQ has sufficient equity and overcard value against a wide button c-bet range.

I turned top pair with a King kicker, but the board now has three clubs. Checking out of position controls the pot and lets me evaluate villain's action.

I have ace-high with the nut-flush draw, so checking back takes a free river while avoiding a raise from made hands.

We improved to top two pair (Kings and Queens with a 7 kicker) after the turn checked through. Betting around 60% pot extracts value from weaker Kings, Queens, and pocket pairs.

I have only ace-high, and the river lead can credibly represent a pair or a made club flush. The price is not attractive enough to call with a bluff-catcher this weak.

42o is the worst starting hand and I am first to act preflop, so folding avoids putting chips in with no equity or playability.

Holding 72s out of position in the small blind is not profitable to play even blind vs blind, so folding is the cleanest choice.

Opening pocket nines from the button with a standard 2.5bb raise.

3♦7♠ is a very weak offsuit hand, and calling a raise from the small blind risks more chips with the big blind still to act.

T6 offsuit is too weak to continue against a button open, even with a price to call. Folding avoids playing a dominated, poorly connected hand out of position.
