Hold'em table

Holding 8d 4h on the button is too weak to play even 3-handed; folding is the standard disciplined move.

Button folded, so this is heads-up versus the big blind with a pocket pair. A small raise builds the pot and takes the initiative rather than completing and playing passively.

K6 offsuit is dominated too often against a 3x raise from the small blind, and playing out of position with poor equity realization isn't worth the 200 call. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

97o is too weak to open from the button against two players still to act; folding avoids a dominated, low-equity spot.

Heads-up vs the big blind after the button folds, A3o is a standard small-blind raise with ace-high equity and good fold equity; a 3x raise builds the pot when defended.

93s is too weak to defend against a 3bb raise from the small blind.

64 offsuit is too weak to call even on the button against two players; it flops poorly and is dominated when it connects, so folding is the highest-EV line.

In the small blind folded to me, A5o is a prime hand to attack the big blind with a standard 3bb open raise.

Jh8s has enough equity against a small-blind open to continue at this price, and a three-bet would bloat the pot out of position with a marginal hand.

Check out of position on a paired low board with Ace-high showdown value and backdoor flush draw.

I have trip eights with a jack kicker and the small blind checked, so I bet about half pot for value from worse pairs and draws.

I missed the paired flop out of position and only hold Ace-high with minimal backdoor equity against a half-pot stab.

Opening standard 2.5bb on the button with AJo for value and positional advantage.

54 offsuit is too weak to continue from the small blind against a button open, especially with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids putting more chips in with a dominated, low-equity hand.

QTo has plenty of equity against a wide button opening range, and calling 150 into a 400 pot is cheap; I keep the pot small out of position rather than folding a hand that's likely ahead of his range.

I flopped top two pair (queens and tens) on Q-T-5, so I'm betting ~73% of pot for value against the preflop raiser's broadway/pair range while charging draws like J9 or flush draws.

I have an overcard plus a gutshot to the nut straight with position, offering plenty of equity to call the 400 bet into a 950 pot.

Turned the nut straight with Ah Jd. Betting around 63% pot for value against Seat 3's two-pair, sets, and pair plus draw hands.

I hold two pair (queens and tens) on a Q-5-T-K board; raising for value against seat_1's turn bet builds the pot while charges draws and one-pair Kx hands.

I hold the nut straight on a coordinated board with flush and boat redraws possible. Re-raising extracts maximum value from two pair and set combos while protecting against adverse river runouts.

I hold two pair (kings and tens) and only need 2200 more into a 7950 pot; seat_1 has already committed 5050 and can't easily fold, so calling maximizes value while preserving my stack.

I hold Q-T for two pair on Qs5d Tc Ks 3h; after the huge turn action I'll check and control the pot, deciding on a call only if seat_1 bets again.

I hold the nut Broadway straight on an un-paired, rainbow-leaning runout with no flush possible. Shoving all-in extracts maximum value from sets and two-pair holdings.

Two pair (Qs and Ts) on a K-high board beats most of villain's value (AK/AJ) and pot odds require only ~25% equity; his jam could be KQ but bluffs and worse are plausible enough given the huge pot.

T6o is too weak and poorly connected to open or call from the button, so folding preserves chips.

Pocket nines is a strong heads-up hand against only the big blind; raising builds the pot with a likely best hand and takes initiative rather than calling passively out of position.

Holding A8o in the big blind against a small blind raise gives us good equity and in-position playability for a 200 chip call.

The paired flop gives me two pair (jacks and nines), which beats the BB's non-jack flatting range and weaker pocket pairs, so I bet ~2/3 pot for value while folding out random floats. I'll reassess if I face a raise, which would signal a jack or 22.

We hold Ace-high with a weak kicker and no backdoors against a two-thirds pot continuation bet on a paired board, making this an easy fold.

Q9s is a solid suited hand with position on the button in 3-max; a standard 3x open pressures the blinds and builds the pot when called.

Ten-seven offsuit is far too weak to defend out of position against a standard button open.

KTo is playable enough in the big blind against a single 3x button open, and calling keeps the pot small while realizing equity heads-up.

Top pair with a ten kicker is ahead of a wide button open, so I bet about 60% pot for value and protection rather than give a free card.

I only have queen-high with a backdoor flush draw; seat_2's flop lead into the preflop raiser represents real strength. Calling 400 into 1050 with ~10% equity is unprofitable, so I fold and preserve my 9700 stack.
