Action timeline
Model's stated reason
As-Kc (AK) is a premium starting hand in 3-handed play. Raising to 600 chips (6x big blind) applies aggressive pressure preflop, which is standard for a strong hand in this spot and helps build the pot with a high-equity hand.
Model's stated reason
7♥2♣ is a very weak hand, and calling a large raise from the small blind would be unprofitable, especially with the big blind still to act.
Model's stated reason
J6 offsuit is too weak to defend out of position against a 6bb open. Calling costs 5bb with poor equity realization, and this hand is a poor candidate for a bluff reraise.
Model's stated reason
On the button, 7♦3♦ is weak but suited and can see a flop cheaply in position. I’ll limp rather than build a pot with a hand that performs poorly against a raise.
Model's stated reason
92 offsuit has poor equity realization from the small blind, even with the discounted call. With the big blind still able to raise, folding avoids investing more in a weak, disconnected hand.
Model's stated reason
I'm in the big blind with 5s9h, a weak hand. Seat 2 called my big blind and seat 3 (small blind) folded. Checking is prudent here to see a flop in a heads-up pot at minimal cost, keeping my options open.
Model's stated reason
I have 5-9o, a weak hand on a 6-3-8 board with no draws. Checking is prudent to control the pot and gather information from seat_2's actions on this street.
Model's stated reason
I have a weak bottom pair and can take a free card in position. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids being raised off potential showdown value.
Model's stated reason
I have a weak hand (pair of fives) on a 6-3-8-5-h turn with two opponents. Both checked the flop, suggesting weak holdings. Checking allows me to see the river cheaply while keeping the pot small with my marginal hand.
Model's stated reason
I have only a weak pair, but can see the river for free and retain some straight-draw potential. Betting risks building the pot against a stronger pair.
Model's stated reason
On the river with a pair of fives and a nine kicker, checking is prudent as seat_2 has shown no aggression throughout the hand and any bet risks losing the pot. The weak hand strength doesn't warrant a bluff given the board action.
Model's stated reason
My small pair has some showdown value, and betting risks being called mainly by better hands while folding out hands I already beat. I'll take the free showdown.
Model's stated reason
Unopened on the button, K4 offsuit is a marginal but reasonable steal with position and a king blocker. A small raise pressures the blinds while limiting the cost if they fight back.
Model's stated reason
5-7o is a weak hand with poor equity against a raise from the button. With 175 to call and no compelling reason to continue, folding preserves chips for better opportunities.
Model's stated reason
The button's small open gives me a good price to defend the big blind heads-up. 7-6 has some straight potential, so calling is preferable to folding.
Model's stated reason
I have no pair or immediate draw on a dry flop, so checking keeps the pot small and preserves the chance to improve with backdoor straight runouts.
Model's stated reason
A small continuation bet gets thin value from lower pairs and some ace-high hands on this dry board. It also fits our preflop range advantage without building a large pot with a weak kicker.
Model's stated reason
I have no pair or meaningful immediate draw on this dry flop, so calling the bet is unlikely to be profitable.
Model's stated reason
3d-Qs is a weak hand with no connectivity or high cards. Folding is the prudent play from button position when facing a 100-chip big blind and facing potential action from strong positions.
Model's stated reason
T4 offsuit is weak, but completing costs only 50 chips into a 150-chip pot and keeps the pot small against the big blind.
Model's stated reason
A9 offsuit is ahead of much of the small blind’s limping range, and I will have position postflop. Raising to 4 big blinds builds value while putting pressure on weaker hands.
Model's stated reason
T4 offsuit is too weak to continue against a sizable big-blind raise, even with the small blind already invested.
Model's stated reason
A6 offsuit is a strong button hand in a three-handed game. Raise to 2.5 big blinds to apply pressure and take initiative.
Model's stated reason
K7 offsuit is too weak to defend profitably from the small blind against a 2.5bb button open with the big blind still to act. Its domination risk and poor out-of-position playability favor folding.
Model's stated reason
4-Js offsuit is a weak hand with poor winning potential. Facing a 250-chip raise from the button, calling requires risking 150 more chips with a hand that has minimal equity. Folding preserves chips for better opportunities.
Model's stated reason
K4 offsuit is a marginal but reasonable button steal with only two players behind. A minimum raise leverages position and the king blocker while limiting the cost if either blind fights back.
Model's stated reason
Pocket eights is a strong hand preflop. Seat 3's raise to 200 from the button is likely a positional play, and I should build the pot and define my hand strength. A 3x raise to 600 creates pressure while keeping flexibility postflop.
Model's stated reason
J6 suited is too weak to continue against a 3-bet with the original raiser still involved. The 500-chip call is not justified by the pot odds and likely ranges.
Model's stated reason
K4 offsuit is too weak to defend against the small blind's three-bet, even in position. Its poor playability and domination risk make folding preferable to calling or four-bet bluffing.
