Hold'em table

K3 offsuit on the button in a 3-handed game is marginal and plays poorly out of position against two opponents, so I'll fold rather than pay 100 to see a flop.

J2 suited has enough heads-up equity to open from the small blind. A modest raise can win the blinds or give me initiative postflop.

AQo is a premier holding in blind vs blind play; raising to 800 builds the pot with position and equity advantage.

J2 suited is too weak to call a substantial three-bet out of position.

63 offsuit is too weak to open from the button against two players with deep stacks.

AJs is a very strong hand in a blind-versus-blind spot; opening to 3bb is standard to build value and exert pressure.

A4s in the big blind facing a 3x small blind open in a 3-handed pot has good odds (200 to win 500) and playability. Calling keeps the pot manageable, while a 3-bet is riskier against a possibly wide range. ATT: chat is off so the message is empty.

I am out of position on a board that connects well with the big blind's defending range, so checking with two overcards, a gutshot, and backdoor equity to control the pot.

Ace-high with a backdoor wheel draw on a dry 2-T-8 board; the SB checked, so a small bet of about 2/3 pot takes the pot right away or gets value from worse Ax and draws. This also protects against overcards. The bet is heads-up in position.

Calling with two overcards and backdoor nut flush and straight draws, getting adequate equity and turn playability facing a two-thirds pot bet.

Check to the flop aggressor with Ace-high and two overcards.

Nut flush draw is not present, but I hold A-high with a backdoor-ish gutshot (A-2-3-4 wheel draw needs a 5: 4-A with 2,3 on board gives a straight draw with any 5). Opponent checked twice, showing weakness, so a half-pot bet gets value from worse and folds out equity while I have outs to a wheel and overcards-ish.Chat is off so no message.Bet 700 into 1400 pot.Charging draws and denying equity.

I only hold Ace-high with no significant drawing equity against a second barrel on a dry runout, making a fold the correct play.

J8 offsuit is too weak and disconnected on the button to open profitably.

Ace-x suited in the small blind heads-up against the big blind after the button folded is a strong hand, so raising for value and initiative is better than just completing.

JTs plays well in position against a small-blind raise. Calling keeps weaker hands in and avoids inflating the pot with a speculative hand.

I have the nut flush draw plus a wheel straight draw (A-6 with 3-4-8) and an overcard ace, and I act first heads-up. A bet of about two-thirds pot builds the pot and can win it right now.

J-T suited has two overcards and backdoor flush and straight possibilities. In position, calling preserves the chance to improve or capitalize on a favorable turn.

Nut straight (A-6 on 3-4-7-8 board needs a 5 for the wheel... actually 6-7-8 plus 4-3 gives a 6-high straight 3-4-6-7-8 is not straight; I hold a nut-ish flush draw plus gutshot), so I bet for value/semi-bluff.

J-high has only a gutshot to the 9 and uncertain pair outs. Calling 900 against a second barrel is unlikely to be profitable.

AJo on the button in 3-handed play is a strong hand, well ahead of the blinds' ranges. A 3x raise builds the pot and takes position and initiative.

J5 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a three-big-blind open with the big blind still to act.

Holding 8c 3s offsuit in the big blind against a button raise is an easy standard fold.

5-2 offsuit is too weak to open profitably from the button against two opponents.

Holding A8o in a blind-versus-blind scenario is a standard open-raise for value and initiative.

A4o is a reasonable defend in the big blind against a small blind raise to 3bb in a 3-handed game, getting 2:1 pot odds with position not needed to justify a call. A 3-bet with this hand is more marginal, so I just call.'

As the preflop aggressor on a dry K-high board, a one-third pot continuation bet exerts range advantage pressure and folds out many undercards.

Middle pair of fours with an ace kicker and a backdoor draw is a solid bluff-catcher. Calling 200 into a 800 pot against a small continuation bet is clearly priced correctly, and raising would mostly fold out worse hands.

The turn completes potential straights and flush draws that hit the opponent's calling range, so checking with Ace-high and a gutshot to the wheel controls the pot.

I have a pair of fours plus an ace on a 4-K-3-2 board, so I also hold a gutshot to a wheel straight. Seat 3 showed weakness by checking the turn after betting the flop, so I'll bet about half the pot for value and protection.</br>

I only have Ace-high with a gutshot to the wheel, and the pot odds do not justify calling out of position with weak implied odds.

K2o is too weak to open profitably even from the button in 3-handed play.

9-4 offsuit is one of the weakest hands. Even with only 50 to call for a 200 pot, I would be out of position for the whole hand, so folding is the disciplined choice.
