Hold'em table

Q7o is at the very bottom of the button opening range and plays poorly postflop, making a standard fold the cleanest play.

With the button folded, A6 offsuit is strong enough to raise from the small blind against the big blind. A raise to 300 applies pressure while keeping the sizing modest.

4c5s is a weak offsuit hand and I'm out of position facing a 3x raise from the small blind. Folding is the clear profitable play.

A9 suited is a strong button-opening hand in a three-player game. I raise to 2.5 big blinds to take initiative while keeping weaker hands in the pot.

King-two offsuit is far too weak to defend from the small blind against a 2.5x button raise with the big blind still behind. Folding avoids playing a dominated, hard-to-play hand out of position.

Q5o is too weak to defend out of position against a standard 2.5bb button open.

K6o is weak but I'm on the button 3-handed with two players left to act; a small steal attempt has good fold equity and position if called.

75s is too weak to call out of position from the small blind against a button open, with the big blind still left to act.

AK offsuit is strong enough to 3-bet for value against a button open, and this sizing applies pressure while leaving room to play postflop.

K6 offsuit is far too weak to call a 3-bet out of position against the big blind; folding preserves chips for better spots.

Opening A2s on the button is standard in 3-handed play given our position and hand equity.

K9 suited is strong enough to defend the small blind against a small button raise, while calling keeps the pot manageable out of position with the big blind still to act.

KJo is strong enough to defend the big blind against a 2.5x raise with a caller, getting good pot odds to see a flop in position-neutral 3-way pot. Folding is too tight; 3-betting risks bloating the pot out of position with a dominated hand.

I have only king-high with backdoor draws, and this multiway ace-high flop favors the preflop raiser. I’ll check and avoid investing chips without a stronger draw or showdown value.

K-high on an A-Q-Q board has little showdown value, but seat_2 checked through, so I take a free card hoping to improve on the turn rather than bluff into the preflop raiser.

I hold top pair with a weak kicker on a paired queen board in a three-way pot, making a check back optimal for pot control and showdown value.

I have only king-high, but a strong heart draw. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me see the river without risking a raise from either opponent.

I hold only K-high on a paired board with no draws, so betting has little fold equity and no value; checking keeps the small pot cheap and lets me fold to turn/river aggression.

Checking back to control the pot with top pair weak kicker on a paired board, keeping our showdown value intact.

My king-high flush is strong after the checks on earlier streets. A modest river bet can get called by weaker flushes, trip queens, or some aces while limiting losses to a higher flush or full house.

My two pair (Aces and Queens from the board with a K kicker) beats all one-pair hands and bluffs; I only lose to Q-x or T-x, and seat_2's delayed half-pot bet after check-check looks more like a missed draw or thin value. Calling 350 into 1100 needs only ~24% equity, which I likely have.

Facing a river lead and an overcall on a board with flush and straight possibilities, my weak two pair with a board-counterfeited kicker is almost certainly beaten or at best chopping.

K9 offsuit is a reasonable button open three-handed. Raising to 250 builds the pot while applying pressure to the blinds.

Queen-two offsuit is far too weak to defend from the small blind against a 2.5x raise with a player still behind me. Folding loses only 50 chips and avoids playing a dominated hand out of position.

83o has very poor equity and playability out of position against a button open, making this a clear fold.

Ace-high on the button in a 3-handed game is worth a standard open; I take initiative and can fold cheaply if pressured.

Holding 8c 5d out of position against a button raise is an easy fold.

Q6 offsuit is marginal, but the price and heads-up blind-versus-button position make a call reasonable. I’ll avoid inflating the pot with a 3-bet.

With a modest pair and a fairly connected low board, checking out of position keeps the pot controlled and lets the preflop raiser act.

I have top pair with the preflop raiser's initiative and was checked to, so I bet for value and protection against draws like 43 or gutshots.

I have a pair of sixes with a queen kicker and am getting reasonable pot odds against a small flop bet. Calling keeps weaker unpaired hands and bluffs in the pot without overplaying a marginal pair.

With a weak pair of sixes, I have some showdown value but little reason to bet into the preflop raiser on an ace turn. Checking keeps weaker hands and bluffs in the pot while avoiding unnecessary escalation.

I flopped a full house (aces full of sixes) and seat_2 checked the turn, so I bet for value while their range still includes aces, two pair, and draws. A pot-sized-ish bet keeps them in without scaring off weaker aces.

The ace on the turn strongly favors the preflop raiser, who has continued betting into a check. My pair of sixes is too weak to call this sizing.}
