Hold'em table

45 offsuit is too weak to continue from the button facing the big blind; its poor playability does not justify calling or raising.

Blind vs blind after the button folded; opening K7o with a standard 3bb raise.

Calling 200 to see a flop with suited Queen-high is reasonable in a 3-handed pot; I want to keep the opponent's range wide and avoid bloating the pot out of position.

The low, connected flop favors the big blind's calling range, so checking our King-high out of position is prudent.

Checking back with 9s Qh on a 5d 8c 3c flop keeps the pot small and avoids building a big hand with a weak holding. I'll control the action and reassess on the turn.

Holding the second nut flush draw with the king of clubs and an open-ended straight draw gives us massive equity to semi-bluff on the turn.

I have a backdoor flush draw and a gutshot straight draw on the turn, giving me equity to see the river. Calling 400 into a 1000 pot is reasonable to keep the hand going without overcommitting.

I missed all draws and hold only King-high. Opponent called a turn bet and likely has at least a pair or made a straight, making a river bluff unprofitable against their continuing range.

The board is uncoordinated and I have no made hand; checking lets me see a cheap showdown and potentially induce a bluff from seat_2.

Holding 64 offsuit on the button is well outside any standard opening range in 3-max. Folding is clear.

Seat 1 opened for 100 from the button with a strong position, and I only have JhQs in the small blind. The pot odds don't justify a call with this weak hand, so folding is the correct play to preserve my stack.

Calling the 100 big blind with 8c Jh in position is reasonable; I want to see a flop and play post-flop rather than fold preflop.

QJ offsuit is strong enough to raise against a button limp and can benefit from isolating, though I’ll keep the sizing moderate from the small blind.

T4o is too weak to defend against a raise from the small blind, so folding is clearly best.

Seat 1 raised to 400 with a strong range. My 8c Jh is marginal but playable on the button. I'll 3-bet to 700 to apply pressure and potentially take the pot down preflop or isolate with a playable hand.

The minimum-sized reraise gives me a favorable price, and Q-J offsuit has enough playability against a button range to continue. I’ll avoid bloating the pot out of position.

I have no pair or diamond on a monotone flop, and the preflop reraiser is likely to continue with strong hands. Checking keeps the pot small and preserves the chance to improve.

I have a backdoor flush draw and a gutshot straight draw on a dry-ish board, but no made hand yet. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me see a turn card without risking more chips, since I'm out of position and the opponent could be aggressive.

I have no made hand and little equity on this paired, monotone board. Take the free river card rather than bluffing into the preflop aggressor.

Board is Kd 7d 8d Ks with Jh8c; I have a weak pair and backdoor flush draw but no strong draws. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a big pot with marginal equity on the turn.

With no diamond or pair, I have almost no showdown value, and the four-diamond board gives my opponent many likely flushes. A bluff is unattractive without a diamond blocker, so I check.

Board is Kd-7d-8d-Ks-Ad with Jh for a weak pair; opponent checked twice so pot control is best. Checking avoids building a big pot with a marginal hand and lets me see a cheap showdown.

K8 offsuit is a reasonable button-open in a three-handed game. A 2.5x raise applies pressure while keeping the pot manageable.

A9s is strong enough to 3-bet for value and fold equity against a button open in a 3-handed game.

I hold 5h 6c, a weak speculative hand that is unlikely to stand against two preflop raises totaling 1000. Calling 900 more or reraising would be a poor expected-value play, so folding preserves my stack.

K-8 offsuit is too weak to continue against the small blind’s large 3-bet; calling would put in 7.5 more big blinds out of position postflop.

J8o is slightly too weak to open profitably from the button even 3-handed.

5s4h is a weak hand that rarely plays well out of position, and I'm already the small blind with a caller to act behind me. Folding preserves my stack for better spots.

Calling the 100 big blind with suited QJ on the button is a standard play to see a flop and realize equity without committing too much preflop.

A♠7♥ is a reasonable hand to complete from the small blind, and the price is attractive. I’ll avoid inflating the pot out of position against a limper with a hand that can be dominated.

Holding pocket tens in the big blind against two limpers gives us a clear equity advantage, making a sizable raise for value and fold equity the optimal play.

QJs is a speculative hand that struggles against a preflop raise from the big blind. With only 100bb effective and no position advantage, folding preserves chips for better spots.

A7 offsuit is a weak hand to continue out of position against a sizable 5bb raise. Calling would leave me with poor realization and little playability postflop.
