Hold'em table

94o is too weak to open from the button in a 3-handed game at 100bb, so folding is standard.

Calling 50 to see a flop with decent pot odds and position against the big blind is reasonable with 7h9o. Folding is too weak for just one small blind, and raising with this hand is unnecessary out of position.

JTs is a strong, playable hand versus a limp and benefits from building the pot while applying pressure preflop.

Calling 400 more out of position with 7-9 offsuit is a losing spot against a large raise; the hand lacks equity and playability. Folding limits the loss to the small blind.

Calling with a speculative connector in position to see a cheap flop; 87o has enough playability and keeps the pot small.

Complete the small blind getting favorable pot odds with J6 suitedness absent but adequate multiway equity. Raising this weak offsuit hand is unnecessary.

T7s plays well in a multiway limped pot; checking my option keeps the pot cheap and lets me realize equity out of position, since raising would only fold out worse hands and get called by better.

J-high with no heart and no meaningful draw has little value betting multiway. Check and fold to substantial action.

Middle pair with no heart on a monotone board in a 3-way limped pot, and the button is still to act. Checking controls the pot and keeps some showdown value.

I have bottom pair but no heart on a monotone board, so checking keeps the pot small and lets me see the turn.

With only a pair of sixes on a four-heart board in a multiway pot, checking controls the pot and preserves modest showdown value.

The board has four hearts and I hold no heart, so my pair of sevens is weak. Checking gets me a free river, and a bet would only get called by better hands.

A minimum river bluff can profit when both opponents lack a heart, while risking very little into the checked-through pot. My hand otherwise only plays the board.

I'm playing the board flush, and the min-bet gives me excellent odds for a likely chop, since a random hand holds a heart only about 30% of the time. Calling 100 into 400 is profitable even if I occasionally lose to a small heart.

The board is a five-heart flush, and I have no heart. I can only tie if neither opponent holds a heart, but the river raise makes that unlikely, so folding is the correct play.

J9 suited is a strong button opening hand in three-handed play. I raise to apply pressure and play in position.

42o in the small blind facing a button open with the big blind still to act is a clear fold.

I'm getting good pot odds in the big blind with an ace, and A3o has enough equity against a button open to call and see a flop.

I have no diamond and only a gutshot straight draw on a monotone flop, so I take the free card and see the turn.

I flopped a straight on a monotone board, giving me a strong but vulnerable value hand. I bet for value and to charge non-flush holdings while learning whether villain has a diamond.

Ace-high with a gutshot on a three-diamond board is unlikely to be best, and the opponent's raise signals strength. Pot odds aren't good enough to continue given the risk of drawing to a losing hand.

K7 suited is a clear open from the button in 3-handed play, so I'm raising to 2.5bb to steal the blinds with a hand that plays well postflop.

65o is too weak to continue out of position against a raise, especially with the big blind still to act. Folding preserves chips.

J4 offsuit has sufficient equity versus a likely wide button opening and good pot odds to defend the big blind.

I have a marginal one-pair hand with weak kicker in a heads-up raised pot. Checking keeps worse hands and bluffs available while avoiding inflating the pot unnecessarily.

Top pair with a weak kicker on a wet board; a small c-bet gets value from worse Kx, Jx, and draws while denying equity. The small size also keeps the pot manageable if we're up against better kings.

Call with top pair in a heads-up pot; folding to a standard continuation bet is too tight, while raising with this weak kicker is unnecessary.

With a marginal one-pair hand on an ace-heavy turn after calling the flop bet, checking controls the pot and preserves showdown value.

Second pair with a weak kicker has showdown value, but the ace turn hits a lot of the big blind's calling range. Checking back controls the pot and avoids getting check-raised off my equity.

The button checked back the ace turn, leaving their range capped and vulnerable on the third diamond. My J♦ blocks diamond flushes, making a river bluff attractive.

I'm getting about 3.8:1, so I need roughly 26% equity. Villain's range after checking the turn and betting the river includes missed heart draws and Jx as well as Ax and backdoor flushes, so second pair is a marginal but profitable call.

2-9 offsuit is a very weak hand out of position against the blinds, so the expected value of calling or raising is poor. Folding preserves my stack for better spots.

Q7 offsuit is strong enough to open heads-up after the button folds. Raising applies pressure to the big blind and gives us initiative.

Getting 2:1 in position against a wide small-blind steal, T3 suited has enough equity and playability to defend by calling.

This low connected flop favors the big blind's calling range, while Q-high has limited equity and few useful backdoors. Checking preserves flexibility.

Top two pair on a dry board after the raiser checked; bet for value and protection, about two-thirds pot.

Q-high with no meaningful draw is too weak to continue versus a flop bet after the preflop call.

Ace-seven offsuit is a strong button opening hand three-handed and benefits from initiative. I raise to a standard 2.5bb size.

92s from the small blind facing a button open, with the big blind still left to act, is a clear fold; it is too weak to call out of position and not a good 3-bet bluff candidate.

I'm getting good pot odds with a suited connector, so I'll call and see a flop.

Betting top pair for value and protection on this dry board after the big blind checks. A small continuation bet keeps weaker pairs and draws involved.

I have an open-ended straight draw with 6-5 on a 7-K-4 board, and I'm getting good pot odds to call 200 into 750.

I have an open-ended straight draw with 6d5h on a 7-K-4-T board. Checking lets me see the river for free while avoiding bloating the pot with only a draw and no made hand.

Betting for thin value and protection with middle pair after the flop call; the small sizing can be called by draws and weaker pairs while controlling risk on the paired turn.
