Hold'em table

In 3-handed play the button opens a wide range, and 97o is a reasonable steal against only the two blinds. A 2.5bb open keeps the risk small.

Jack-five offsuit is weak, and calling 200 more into a three-way pot against a button raise needs roughly a third equity, which this hand does not have.

J2 offsuit is a weak out-of-position defend, and the 2.5bb raise makes the call less attractive despite the pot odds.

K9 offsuit on the button facing only a 100-chip completion is a cheap, playable speculative call in a 3-way pot with good position.

The small completion is getting excellent pot odds against a button limp, and 7-4 offsuit can see a flop cheaply. I’ll avoid building the pot with a raise.

T5 offsuit is weak and out of position in a limped pot, so I take the free flop rather than raise into two players.

I have no meaningful hand or draw on this paired flop, so I’ll take the free option rather than inflate a multiway pot.

T5o on a paired 993 board has little equity and weak bluffing value with the button still left to act, so I'll check and see the turn for free.

We hold a pair of nines with a king kicker on a three-way flop, and checking is the default way to see the next card and control pot size. Nothing here justifies a raise against two opponents.

I have no pair and only a remote runner-runner straight possibility, so I’ll take the free card rather than bluff into two opponents.

With T-high and no real draw, my hand has almost no showdown value. Both opponents checked the flop, which suggests weakness, so a small stab into this 300 pot only needs to win about a third of the time to profit.

I hold a set of nines (9c with the 9s and 9d on board), which is very strong, so I raise for value against seat_1's turn bet.

My 7-high has no meaningful draw on this paired board, and facing a bet plus a raise I have far too little equity to call.

I hold only ten-high with no real draw, and the button min-raised my bet on a paired board, which usually means a made hand. Even at 17.5% pot odds, calling or bluffing here isn't profitable.

A4 offsuit is a reasonable button open in a three-handed game. Raise to 2.5 big blinds to apply pressure and take initiative.

K8o in the small blind facing a button open, with the big blind still to act, is a fold. It plays poorly out of position and is dominated by much of a button opening range.

Facing a 150 chip call into a 400 chip pot, the price is about 27%, and 8-10 offsuit has enough equity against a wide button raise to continue from the big blind.

I have no pair on an A-K-6 flop with 8-high and T-high, so checking takes a free card and keeps the pot small.

I have top pair and should get value from weaker pairs while charging heart draws. A small bet keeps the pot manageable with my weak kicker.

I have T-8 with no pair against a flop of 6-A-K, and I face a 180 bet into a 730 pot. My equity is far below the roughly 20% needed to call, so folding is correct.

K9o on the button in 3-handed play is a clear open-raise; 2.5bb steals the blinds and keeps position.

QK offsuit is a playable hand against a button open of 250 in a three-way pot, and calling 200 more is cheap, so I'll see a flop rather than raise or fold.

The extra 150 is only 20% of the resulting pot, and 7-5 has some straight-making potential. Calling is preferable to folding at these multiway pot odds, though raising would overplay the hand.

I have Q-K high with no pair on a T-3-5 flop, and I can check for free, so checking keeps the pot small while I see whether anyone bets.

Bottom pair is a modest showdown hand on a three-way flop, and the button still has yet to act. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids betting into stronger hands or draws.

K-high with a gutshot (needs a Q for nothing... actually only backdoor) on a wet T-5 two-tone board, three-way; the hand has little fold equity against two callers, so take the free card in position.

Top pair of kings with a queen kicker is a strong but not nutted hand in a three-way pot, so I'll check to control the pot and see whether the others bet into me.

I have only a weak pair on a three-diamond board, so betting risks building the pot against stronger hands. I’ll take the free card and keep the pot small.

Top pair is likely best after both opponents checked the flop and turn, so I'm betting about 60% of the pot. This gets value from Tx and draws and charges the flush and straight draws, while staying small enough to give up cheaply against a big check-raise on this wet board."}

I have top pair with a Queen kicker, and calling 450 into a 1200 pot needs only about 27% equity, which this hand comfortably exceeds against a turn bet.

A low pair is unlikely to be good against a bet and a call on a king-high board with three diamonds. Calling risks more chips with little chance to improve.

Top pair of kings with a queen kicker is a medium-strength hand on this paired-broadway river board, and seat_1 showed strength on the turn, so checking keeps the pot controlled and avoids bloating it against a likely better hand.

Top pair with no diamond on a four-diamond board. A bet would mostly be called by flushes and better hands while worse hands fold, so I check back to take the showdown.

AQ offsuit is a strong hand in position on the button, so I'm raising to 300 to build the pot and take the initiative against the blinds.

A4 offsuit is a weak hand to defend from the small blind against a 3x button raise, especially with the big blind still to act. Fold rather than enter an unfavorable multiway pot out of position.

I'm getting about 2.25:1 to defend the big blind against a wide button open three-handed. 42s has enough equity and playability to call.

With 4-high and only a gutshot (I need a 5 for 3-4-5-6-7), out of position against the preflop raiser on a K-high board, the best play is to check to their range and fold to most bets.

I have ace-high with no made pair on a K-7-6 flop, and seat_1 checked, so checking keeps the pot small and avoids bloating it without a strong hand.

The button checked back the flop, which suggests a capped range. We picked up a club flush draw on the turn, so a probe bet works as a semi-bluff with fold equity and nine outs.

I hold A-Q with only a gutshot to a broadway straight and three clubs, so my equity is well below the roughly 28% needed to call 420 into a 1070 pot, and the turn lead suggests strength.

KJo is a strong button hand in a three-player pot, so raise for value and initiative while applying pressure to the blinds.

JJ is well ahead of a wide 3-handed button opening range, so I 3-bet for value. Sizing up out of position also denies the big blind a cheap overcall.

Holding 4h3d, a weak unsuited hand facing a 1000-chip raise (to 1100) with 100 already invested, so folding is the disciplined choice rather than paying a large price out of position.

KJo is dominated by much of the small blind’s 3-bet range, and calling 800 more out of position to that range is not worthwhile despite being on the button.
