Hold'em table

K5 offsuit on the button facing only a 1bb completion is a cheap, playable speculative hand in a 3-handed pot, so calling is better than folding or bloating the pot out of position.

AJo is strong three-handed and ahead of the button's limping range. Raising from the small blind builds value and discourages the big blind from entering cheaply.

5-4 offsuit is a weak hand facing a raise and a caller, and I would be out of position against two opponents. Folding is the disciplined play.

Calling 350 into a 1000 pot is about 35% pot odds, and K5 offsuit has reasonable equity while I act last after the flop. Folding is close, but the price and position make a call acceptable.

Ace-high has limited immediate equity on this coordinated flop, which can connect well with the button’s limp-calling range. Checking avoids building a pot out of position without a strong draw.

I hold King-high with no pair on a Tc-6h-9s board, so I can't profitably bet into seat_2's check. Checking for free keeps the pot small and lets me see the turn.

Ace-high has some showdown value, but this turn offers little reason to build the pot out of position. Checking keeps weaker hands in and avoids a costly bluff on a connected board.

I have a pair of fives with a king kicker on a relatively dry board, and seat_2 checked the turn, so checking keeps the pot small and lets me see a free river.

Ace-high has some showdown value against missed draws and unpaired hands. A river bluff is unlikely to fold out many pairs or straights on this board.

We hold a pair of fives with a king kicker on a paired-looking board, which is a weak hand, and the opponent has checked the river, so checking to showdown is the best option.

T2 offsuit is too weak to profitably open from the button against two blinds at these stack depths.

Button folded, so this is effectively heads-up and K8s has enough equity to raise for initiative and fold out BB's weaker hands. A raise to 300 applies pressure while risking little relative to the deep stacks.

Calling 200 into a 400 pot from the big blind gets about 33% pot odds, which is reasonable against a wide steal from the small blind with 6-8 suited.

I have top pair with a backdoor flush draw on a coordinated board. Betting for value and protection is best since I am first to act.

I have 6-8 offsuit against a flop of T-K-4 with no pair or meaningful draw, and I'm facing a 400 bet into a 1000 pot, so folding is the disciplined choice.

With 2s4h on the button facing a full big blind, this is too weak to call or raise profitably in a 3-handed preflop spot.

Ace-king suited is a strong hand heads-up against the big blind, so I'm raising to build the pot rather than just completing the small blind.

K3 offsuit has enough equity to defend the big blind against a small-blind raise, especially with position after the flop. A call avoids inflating the pot with a weak kicker.

Ace-high with a king kicker and no made hand on a 5-T-9 board, so checking keeps the pot small and lets me see whether seat_2 bets.

With king-high and little immediate equity on this coordinated flop, I’ll take the free card rather than bluff into potential draws or pairs.

I have ace-high with no pair on a 5-T-9-J board, so checking keeps the pot small and avoids bloating it without a made hand.

After the preflop raiser checked twice, a turn bet can fold out some better unpaired hands. I also have a gutshot straight draw if called.

I have only ace-high with a Q-only straight draw and no flush draw, so I need about 29% equity to call 400 into 1000, which I don't have against a turn bet after a checked-through flop.

Pocket eights are a strong preflop hand in a 3-handed game with two opponents to isolate against, so raising to 300 builds the pot and takes initiative.

Nine-deuce offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a three-big-blind open, especially with the big blind still to act.

Closing the action preflop with J8o against a button open, I am getting 2.25:1 and have enough equity to defend rather than fold; raising would overcommit with a marginal offsuit hand.

I have a marginal hand with a gutshot and overcard, and I am out of position against the preflop raiser. Checking controls the pot and lets me see a free turn card.

Pocket eights are a medium-strength pair with a 9 overcard on the board, and checking keeps the pot small while taking a free card.

Semi-bluffing the turn with an open-ended straight draw; seat_1 checked back the flop, so this card is unlikely to have helped them and a bet can take the pot while I have outs if called.

Calling 400 into a 1050 pot needs about 28% equity, and a pair of eights plus a 6-driven straight draw is close to that against seat_3's turn bet range.

The board is coordinated with straight possibilities, and my pair of jacks is only medium strength. Checking controls the pot and avoids being raised by better hands.

I hold a pair of eights with no made straight or flush, and checking is free here, so I take the showdown cheaply rather than bloat the pot.

K6 offsuit is strong enough to open on the button three-handed. A 2.5-big-blind raise applies pressure while keeping the pot manageable.

J4o is a weak, dominated offsuit hand from the small blind, and calling a button raise out of position is not profitable enough to continue.

Calling 150 into a 400 pot gives about 27% pot odds, and 5-9 suited in a heads-up-style pot from the big blind has roughly that much equity against a button open. Raising with this hand is not clearly profitable.

Our 9-5 of diamonds has no pair or strong draw on a 6-3-Q flop, and checking is free as the big blind, so we take the free card rather than bloat the pot.

A small bet with middle pair can get value from weaker pairs and draws while denying free cards to overcards.

We hold 9-high with no pair, no real draw, and face a 180 continuation bet from the button, so calling needs far more equity than we have. Folding is the disciplined play.

Q4o is too weak to call or raise from the button in a 3-handed pot, so I fold and preserve chips.

Seven-six offsuit is weak, but completing the 50-chip small blind to see a cheap flop heads-up against the big blind is reasonable after the button folded.

With 7-6 offsuit against a small-blind limp, I can see a flop for free and play in position rather than build the pot with a marginal hand.

I have an open-ended straight draw (5 or 9) plus a weak flush draw, but no made hand, so I check to see a free turn card.

I have only a gutshot on a connected, heart-heavy flop. Taking the free card is preferable to building a pot with little equity.

I have a flush draw and a gutshot straight draw with no made hand, and checking gets the free river card without risking chips into a pot where both opponents have already checked.

The small blind has checked twice, so a modest turn bet can take down the pot now. I also have a gutshot and a weak heart draw if called.

I hold a 7-high flush draw plus a gutshot, roughly 12 outs (about 26%), which is slightly below the 29% pot odds needed to call 140 into 340. Seat_2's turn bet after checking the flop also suggests strength, and I'm out of position, so folding is the better choice.
