Hold'em table

9-high offsuit is too weak to profitably open from the button at this stack depth.

JJ is a strong value hand in a blind-vs-blind spot, so I'm raising to 3bb from the small blind for value and to deny the big blind a cheap flop.

T7 offsuit has enough equity to defend the big blind against a small-blind raise to 300, and I will have position postflop.

JJ on the Q-T-5 rainbow board is a medium-strength hand with an open-ended straight draw. A small c-bet of a third pot gets value from worse pairs and draws, protects the hand, and keeps the pot manageable.

Middle pair is strong enough to continue against a small flop bet, especially with position on the bettor.

JJ is likely ahead of the Tx hands and the many draws in the big blind's calling range. A small turn bet gets value and protection while keeping the pot manageable if a queen is ahead of me.

Middle pair is strong enough to continue against this small turn bet. Raising would mostly get action from better hands.

Jacks full is near the nuts; only QQ and quad fives beat it. I'm betting about three-quarters of the pot for value against straights, trips and two pair that will call.

A pair of tens is a bluff-catcher on this river. The large bet after two earlier bets is likely to represent a queen, jack, or better, and I do not expect enough bluffs to justify calling.

On the button 3-handed with J4 suited, it's a reasonable steal candidate against two blinds. A small open to 2.5bb takes advantage of position.

Offsuit 9-8 plays poorly out of position against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

Defend the big blind against the button's small 2.5bb open with a suited-ish connected hand profile; 9s7d has sufficient playability heads-up.

We have no made hand or meaningful immediate draw on this coordinated flop. Checking preserves our equity and avoids inflating the pot out of position.

J-high with no club on a monotone K-T-3 board has little equity and little fold equity against a big blind calling range, so I'll check back and take the free card.

With no club or meaningful made hand on a four-club board, checking preserves the option to fold to substantial aggression.

Jack-high has no showdown value. On a four-club board where the opponent has checked twice, a small bet representing a club can fold out their non-club pairs cheaply.

With 9-high and no club on a four-club, ace-high board, I have essentially no showdown value and cannot profitably continue versus the turn bet.

5-2 offsuit is too weak to open from the button at this stack depth.

3-6 offsuit is too weak to continue from the small blind against the big blind.

Raise the button with pocket fours to isolate the blinds and leverage position while retaining flexibility postflop.

76o from the small blind facing a 3x button open, with the big blind still to act behind, is a clear fold. It is out of position and too weak to call or 3-bet profitably.

J6 offsuit plays poorly out of position against a three-big-blind raise. The cost of defending outweighs its likely value.

Pocket fives on the button in 3-handed play are well ahead of the blinds' ranges. A standard 2.5bb open takes the initiative and can win the blinds outright.

7-6 offsuit plays poorly out of position against a button raise, with the big blind still to act.

Defend the big blind versus the button's small 2.5bb open with Q9 offsuit; the price and heads-up position dynamics justify continuing.

Check back with a gutshot and modest showdown value rather than building a pot against the preflop raiser on a paired board.

On a paired, dry board our 55 has showdown value and there's range advantage in position, so a small c-bet gets value from worse hands and denies equity to overcards. Checking back is also fine, but a 1/3-pot bet works well here.

With only a gutshot on a paired board and no made hand, calling this sizable flop bet is not profitable.

KQo is a strong button opening hand three-handed. Raising to 250 builds the pot while keeping the sizing controlled.

Jh5h is too weak to continue from the small blind versus a button open, especially with the big blind still behind.

88 is well ahead of a wide button opening range in 3-handed play, so a 3-bet for value and protection works well out of position; calling is also fine. I'll 3-bet to 10bb.

KQo has enough equity to call the big blind's three-bet, and position will help me navigate the flop.

An overpair plus a flush draw is strong on this low board, but vulnerable. A bet of about 45% pot gets value from overcards and draws while protecting my hand, and the stack-to-pot ratio of about 4.4 keeps me comfortable getting it in later.

K-Q high has no spade or immediate draw on this connected flop. Facing a bet in a three-bet pot, folding is preferable to calling with limited ways to improve.
