Hold'em table

KTo on the button 3-handed is a clear open; a 2.5bb raise applies pressure on both blinds.

I hold Tc5d, a weak offsuit hand that lacks playability. The raiser opened to 250 and I'm in the small blind, so calling 200 more is a poor price for a speculative hand.

42 suited is too weak out of position against a button raise; realizability is low despite the discounted price.

Calling with JsAd in position is reasonable; I want to see a flop and control pot size against the small blind's 50 and big blind's 100.

Completing for 50 into a 250 pot gives excellent pot odds with J4o three-handed, despite being out of position postflop.

K8s is well ahead of two limping ranges, so an iso-raise from the big blind can take the pot down now or build it with position-neutral equity. A check is also fine, but raising for value and fold equity is slightly better.

Calling with J♠ A♦ in position against a min-raise is reasonable; I want to see a flop and play post-flop rather than 3-bet light.

J4 offsuit is weak and dominated against a big blind raise and button call; calling 350 out of position is not profitable.

As the preflop raiser I have range advantage on an ace-high board, and K8s with a backdoor flush draw and gutshot-ish equity makes a good small c-bet that can fold out better weak pairs and draws.

I have a backdoor flush draw and a pair of Jacks, so calling is reasonable to see the next street without overcommitting. The board is dry enough that a bluff raise isn't clearly justified.

I have only king-high with no real draw, and the turn completed a four-flush against an opponent who called the flop. Barreling would rarely make them fold, so I'll check and likely give up the hand.

I have a backdoor flush draw with Js and a weak Ace-high, but the board is scary with three clubs. Since I can check and pot odds don't justify a bluff raise, I'll control the pot and see the river cheaply.

My K-high has almost no showdown value. The opponent checked back the turn, which caps their range at weak pairs and Ax, so a 70% pot bluff that tells a believable trapped-flush story should get enough folds.

Calling the 1200 river bet with top pair (Js) on a board where the opponent likely has an Ace. The pot odds are favorable and folding would be too weak given my strong hand.

On the button 3-handed, A5o is well within opening range with ace blocker and position; a 2.5bb raise pressures the blinds.

52o from the small blind facing a button open with the big blind still to act is a clear fold; it's too weak to call out of position or to 3-bet.

3h 8d is a weak hand and I'm out of position facing a raise to 250, so folding minimizes losses.

ATo on the button in 3-handed play is a strong opening hand; a standard 2.5x open.

I have a pocket pair of twos. I'll make a min-raise to keep the pot small and see how the other players react, since I'm out of position and my hand is vulnerable.

76 offsuit is too weak to call a button raise and small-blind reraise from the big blind, especially out of position to the button postflop.

The small blind made a tiny min-reraise to 400, so I only need 150 more into a 750 pot (about 17% equity needed). Calling with ATo in position is clearly profitable; 4-betting would mostly fold out the hands I beat.

I have a pocket pair of twos with a set of nines on the board, giving me a strong but vulnerable hand. Checking allows me to control the pot size and potentially induce bluffs from the button while avoiding building a big pot with a marginal hand.

Top pair with a decent kicker on a dry paired board is likely ahead of SB's 3-bet range outside AK/AQ/AA/99. A small one-third-pot bet gets value from worse aces and pocket pairs and protects against overcards.

I have a pocket pair that can make a set on this board, and calling keeps my range balanced while avoiding overcommitting without the nuts. The pot odds justify a call given the remaining stack.

I have a set of twos on a board with three nines, but I'm out of position and the opponent showed strength on the flop. Checking allows me to control the pot size and potentially induce a bluff on the river.

We hold nines full of aces, which chops with other Ax and beats the pocket pairs that 3-bet and then check-called the flop. A roughly half-pot bet gets value from KK-TT and some bluff-catchers.

I have a set of twos on a 9-9-A-9 board, which is a very strong hand. Calling the 800 turn raise is correct to keep the pot controlled and avoid scaring the opponent off while protecting my equity.

The board is paired with four nines, and my hand is just a pair of twos with no redraw. Seat 1 has shown heavy aggression on every street, so bluffing into them is risky. I'll check and hope to split the pot at showdown.

Nines full of aces beats every pocket pair and 8x, and chops with other Ax; only AA or the last 9 beats us. A modest value bet can get calls from bluff-catching pairs while risking little against the rare stronger hands.

Seat 1 has shown extreme aggression across all streets and the board is 9-9-A-9-8, heavily favoring their range; my 2c2h is dominated and unlikely to be best. I fold to preserve my remaining stack.

5h 6s is a weak suited connector with no pair and poor post-flop playability. Facing a 100bb big blind raise with only 50bb behind the SB, folding minimizes expected loss.

KQ suited is a strong heads-up hand from the small blind; raising builds the pot and takes initiative versus the big blind.

With 32o facing a 3x small-blind open, calling 200 to win 400 requires about 33% equity, and this hand is roughly at or below that against the opening range. It also realizes its equity poorly, so folding is fine despite having position.

J6 offsuit is below a profitable button opening range even three-handed, with poor playability when called. Folding avoids a negative-EV steal or limp out of position equity-wise despite having the button.

T3 suited from the small blind in a blind-vs-blind spot sits at the bottom of a wide SB opening range, and raising to 3bb applies fold equity to the big blind. Limping is the alternative, but raising is simpler and fine here.

Seat 3 folded, seat 1 raised to 300. I'm in the BB with 4s8s and only need to call 200, but 4-8 suited is too weak to defend profitably against a single raise out of position, so I fold to preserve chips.
