Hold'em table

With three players, 9♣7♠ is a reasonable button open. A modest raise applies pressure to the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

J5 offsuit is weak out of position against a button raise, and calling 200 more with a blind still in the pot is not clearly profitable, so folding is the disciplined play.

J2 offsuit is too weak to defend out of position against a 2.5x button open, even with 150 to call into a 400 pot.

K9 offsuit on the button is a playable hand in a three-handed pot, and calling 100 to see a cheap flop is better than folding or bloating the pot out of position.

Getting 5:1 on a 50-chip completion in a limped pot, so 74o has enough equity and implied odds to see a flop cheaply, though I'll be out of position.

With T5 offsuit in the big blind after two limps, take the free flop rather than build a pot with a weak hand.

74o has no equity on a paired 9-9-3 board in a three-way limped pot, and leading out of position into two players gets little fold equity, so I'll check and give up unless the turn helps.

I have no pair or meaningful draw on a dry paired flop, so I’ll take the free card rather than bluff into a player still to act.

I hold a set of nines on a paired board, which is very strong, and both opponents checked, so betting about two-thirds pot builds the pot for value.

74o on 399 is seven-high with no draw, and the BB is still to act behind me. Facing a 2/3-pot bet, I have no equity worth continuing with, so I fold.

T-high has no meaningful draw on this paired board, and calling 200 offers poor odds against the button’s flop bet.

A4o is a clear open from the button in 3-handed play, so I'm raising to 2.5bb to take the initiative against the two blinds.

K8 offsuit is a marginal out-of-position defend against a button raise, with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids calling with a hand that is easily dominated.

Holding 8c-Td (T8 offsuit) out of position against a button raise to 250 with 150 to call, this is a weak hand that doesn't justify investing more of the 100bb stack preflop.

K9 offsuit is a reasonable button open in a three-handed game. Raising to 250 applies pressure to the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

QK offsuit is a playable hand in a three-way pot, and calling 200 to see the flop is cheaper than raising into a position raiser with the big blind still to act.

We close the action and are getting 4:1 (150 to win 600), so 75o has enough raw equity and playability to call multiway from the big blind.

I have only King-high with a Queen kicker and no made pair on a Td-3s-5d flop, so checking keeps the pot small and avoids bloating it out of position.

Weak second pair in a three-way pot with the preflop raiser still to act; checking keeps the pot small and lets me realize equity, and I can decide how to continue if the button bets.

With only king-high and no meaningful draw on a three-way flop, checking back avoids investing into two opponents while retaining some showdown value.

I have top pair with king kicker-queen on a board where both opponents checked the flop, so a moderate value bet builds the pot while my hand is likely best.

Bottom pair on a three-diamond turn facing a lead, with the preflop raiser still to act behind me. My hand has few clean outs and poor equity, so calling 400 isn't justified.

Top pair is strong enough to continue against a modest turn bet, but the three-diamond board and weak kicker make raising risky. Calling keeps worse hands and bluffs in while controlling the pot.

I have a pair of kings with no flush or straight, so checking keeps the pot manageable and avoids putting more chips in against a possible stronger hand.

My pair of kings has showdown value, but the four-diamond board makes a value bet risky without a diamond. I’ll take the free showdown rather than risk being raised or called by a flush.

Ace-queen suited is a strong hand on the button, so I'm raising to 300 to build the pot and take initiative rather than just calling.

In a 3-handed game the button's opening range is wide. A4o has an ace blocker and suits a linear or polar 3-bet from the small blind better than flatting out of position with the big blind still to act.

4♣2♣ is far too weak to continue against a button raise and a large re-raise from the small blind. Call would put in 11 big blinds with poor equity and playability.

AQs has good equity against a 3-bet range in a three-way pot, and calling 900 into a 2500 pot is a reasonable price, so I'll call rather than fold or re-raise.

As the preflop 3-bettor, this king-high board favors my range. A small c-bet with ace-high plus backdoor spade and straight draws applies pressure and keeps the pot manageable out of position.

I have only ace-high with a weak backdoor flush draw against a flop bet from a seat that likely holds a king or better, so calling 800 into a 3300 pot isn't justified.

KJo is a strong opening hand on the button in 3-handed play, so I'll raise to 2.5bb for value and to take the initiative.The table message is empty because chat is off.

Jacks are strong against a button open in a three-handed game. A substantial out-of-position three-bet builds value and pressures the big blind to fold.

4h3d is the weakest possible hand and I face a 750 call into a 1200 pot against a raise, so my equity is too low to continue profitably.

KJo in position against a wide 3-handed small-blind 3-bet is getting decent odds (600 to win 1800), so calling is better than folding. A 4-bet would mostly fold out worse hands and get called by better ones.

With JJ and no spade on an ace-high monotone flop, betting offers little value and risks being raised; checking keeps the pot controlled and allows me to reassess.

Our J-high spade draw has decent equity but little fold equity against a 3-bettor's range, which is full of Ax. Checking back realizes that equity cheaply and avoids facing a check-raise.

The four-spade board makes a flush highly plausible, and my pocket jacks have no spade and little showdown value against the ace or king. I’ll take the free card rather than bluff into two opponents.

With the J-high spade flush, only the Qs beats us, and the opponent has checked twice. A two-thirds pot bet gets value from any single spade, Ax and Kx.

The fourth spade completes a flush, and I hold no spade to improve or block it. Facing a sizable turn bet after the flop checked through, my jacks are not a strong enough bluff-catcher to call.
