Hold'em table

3-7 offsuit is one of the weakest starting hands. On the button against two players, folding costs nothing and avoids a marginal spot out of position later in the hand.

KQ suited is a premium holding in a blind vs blind situation; raising to 300 for value and initiative.

JTo is strong enough to defend against a small-blind raise, and calling keeps weaker hands in while playing in position postflop.

C-betting one-third pot on a dry paired board where we hold range advantage and backdoor equity with two overcards.

Top pair is strong enough to continue against a small flop bet. Calling keeps weaker hands and bluffs in the pot without building it too quickly with a modest kicker.

The turn 3h is a blank that does not improve our King-high or add draws; checking controls the pot size out of position against a range that called the flop.

Top pair is likely ahead after the small flop bet and turn check. A half-pot bet can get value from weaker jacks and pocket pairs while charging overcards.

I have King-high with no draws after c-betting the flop and facing a half-pot bet on the turn, making this an easy fold.

J7s is a solid opening hand from the button in 3-handed play; raising 2.5bb to apply positional pressure.

A5 offsuit is awkward to call from the small blind, but the ace blocks strong hands. A three-bet can take the pot now or isolate the button.

5-4 offsuit is weak, and facing a button open plus a small blind 3-bet I would need to call 850 more with the button still to act. Folding is clearly best.

J7s is too weak to continue against a standard 3-bet from the small blind.

Pocket eights are a strong button opening hand three-handed. A raise to 250 builds the pot while keeping the size manageable.

T6 offsuit is weak out of position in the small blind facing a button raise, with the big blind still to act behind me. Folding is the better choice over calling 200 more.

Holding 32 offsuit in the big blind facing a button open raise; this hand has negligible playability and should be folded.

4-3 suited is a weak hand out of position against two players who still have to act after me, and calling 100 into a 150 pot with a marginal hand is not clearly profitable; folding is the safe default.

Blind vs blind with an ace, raising to put pressure on the big blind.

Q7 offsuit is playable heads-up in position against a small-blind raise. Calling 150 keeps the pot manageable.

I flop top pair with a weak kicker out of position; checking controls the pot size while keeping weaker hands in and protecting my checking range.

Q-high has little equity when called, and the preflop raiser can still hold many strong hands on this A-K board. I’ll take the free turn card in position.

We turned a gutshot to go with our top pair after the flop checked through. Betting 300 into 500 gets value from second pairs and draws.

Queen-high has little showdown value and no meaningful draw. Calling 300 against the turn bet is unlikely to be profitable.

76 offsuit is too weak to open profitably from the button even in 3-handed play. Folding is standard.

Completing for 50 chips is inexpensive against a likely wide big-blind range. Raising with 4-3 offsuit would build a larger pot out of position.

5-9 offsuit is a weak hand, so I take the free flop from the big blind instead of building a pot out of position against the small blind's limp.

I have no pair or meaningful draw on this flop, so checking avoids investing more with a weak hand.

Middle pair (nines) on a K-T-9 board is likely the best hand against a small blind who checked after limping, so I bet about 75% of the pot for value and to deny equity to draws.

With 4-3 offsuit on a K-T-9 flop, I have no pair or meaningful draw. Calling the bet is not worthwhile.

T2 offsuit is too weak to profitably open from the button against two players.

Q4 offsuit is a marginal hand heads-up against the big blind. Completing costs only 50 more for a pot of 200, which is a good price, and I can play cheaply after the flop.

I hold a pair of sevens in position against a small blind limp, making an isolation raise to 3.5 bb standard for value.

Q4 offsuit is weak, and calling 250 more out of position against a 3.5x raise from the big blind would lose chips over time. Folding costs only the 100 already posted.
