Hold'em table

Button K-high suited is worth opening in this three-handed spot. A 2.5bb raise applies pressure while retaining maneuverability.

J5o is a weak offsuit hand out of position against a button raise, so calling is not profitable. I fold and wait for a better spot.

With J6 suited in the big blind against a 2.5bb button open, I'm getting 150 to win 400 (about 27% equity needed), so this is a standard defend. Suited playability makes calling better than folding or 3-betting.

Middle pair with a weak kicker, out of position on a wet board. Checking to the button's c-bet keeps the pot controlled, and I can call a reasonable bet.

This low connected flop favors the big blind's calling range, and K-high with only a backdoor club draw has limited value as a continuation bet.

Trip sixes with a decent kicker is strong on the turn after the flop checked through. I'm betting about two-thirds pot for value and to charge spade draws.

K-high with no spade and no meaningful draw is too weak to continue facing a turn bet on this paired, three-spade board.

Folded to me in the small blind with 43 suited. Completing for 50 into a pot of 150 is a cheap price, and the hand plays fine in a limped pot.

Check the weak suited 5-2 from the big blind and realize equity heads-up without inflating the pot.

This is a small semi-bluff with a gutshot to a straight (a 5 makes 3-4-5-6-7) in a limped pot. The big blind's range is wide and weak, so a half-pot bet can take the pot down now and still has outs if called.

With only a weak gutshot to an 8 and no made hand, folding to the flop bet is preferable heads-up.

Three-handed on the button, 76o is at the edge of a wide opening range. A small open puts pressure on the blinds, and I keep position for the rest of the hand.”

Pocket nines are a strong three-handed holding. I raise for value and isolation against the button open.

Q7o is too weak to continue against a raise and reraise, and calling 700 more offers poor equity. Folding preserves chips for a better spot.

76 offsuit plays poorly against a small-blind 3-bet to 8bb. Even with position and deep stacks, the hand doesn't realize enough equity to justify calling 5.5bb, so I fold.

KJ suited is a strong button opening hand three-handed, with positional advantage and good equity against blind ranges. I raise to 3bb.

ATo is strong enough to three-bet for value and isolate the button's wide opening range, while still allowing me to fold to a four-bet.

Q5 offsuit facing an open and a 3-bet is far too weak to continue, even from the big blind.

KJs is a strong enough button opening hand to continue versus the small blind's 3-bet, especially with position and a moderate sizing.

I have top pair with top kicker on a wet board, so I bet for value and to charge draws. A moderate bet also protects my hand against many turn cards.

I have the nut straight on a very coordinated board. Raising builds value against sets, two pair, pair-plus-draw hands, and strong club draws while charging equity.

T2o is too weak to continue against the big blind's posted bet, so I fold and preserve my stack.

Blind-vs-blind at 100bb deep, T4o sits near the bottom of a wide small-blind opening range. A 3x raise takes the initiative and has fold equity against the big blind, so I prefer it to a passive limp or a fold.

ATo is a strong heads-up big-blind holding versus a small-blind open. A 3-bet applies pressure to the opener's wide range and builds value when called.

T4o is too weak to continue against a big blind 3-bet, especially out of position. Calling 600 more to win 1800 isn't worth it with poor equity and playability.

On the button 3-handed, K2o is a standard open-raise, so I'm stealing with a 2.5bb raise. Chat is off, so the message stays empty. ... ... ...

A6 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button raise with the big blind still behind.

Calling 150 offers good pot odds with K6o against a wide button open, and folding would give up too much equity. I'll keep the pot small while out of position.

I have only king-high with a backdoor flush draw on an ace-high board. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me see a free turn rather than risking chips against a preflop raiser who likely has an ace or strong hand.

On the button with K2 of diamonds I have a gutshot to the wheel plus a backdoor nut flush draw, and a king blocker, on an ace-high board that favors my range. A small c-bet of about a third of the pot is profitable here.

I have only king-high with no real draw on this ace-high board, and facing a bet after a preflop raise, continuing is not profitable.
