Hold'em table

6-4 offsuit is a weak button hand at this stack depth, and neither blind has shown a reason to attempt a marginal steal.

QJo is strong enough to raise heads-up from the small blind after the button folds. Raising to 3 big blinds pressures the big blind and builds value against weaker calls.

7h9h is a weak suited connector facing a 3bb raise out of position; calling risks dominated spots with little fold equity. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

A9 offsuit is a clear button open three-handed. Raising to 2.5 big blinds pressures the blinds while leveraging position and the ace blocker.

A4 offsuit is far too weak to call 200 more against a 2.5x raise out of position.

QTo is strong enough to defend the big blind against a button min-ish raise, and calling keeps the pot manageable out of position.

Top pair with a moderate kicker is strong enough to continue, but checking out of position lets the preflop raiser act before I commit more chips.

Ace-high has some showdown value and backdoor straight and flush potential. Checking behind preserves that equity on a connected board that gives the big blind plenty of calls and check-raises.

Top pair is likely ahead after the flop checked through. A moderate turn bet gets value from weaker pairs and draws while charging them to see the river.

Ace-high with no straight or flush draw is too weak to continue against this substantial turn bet. Our pair outs are uncertain, and calling would leave us vulnerable to another river bet.

T7 offsuit is a weak hand; folding from the button against two players is standard.

With the button folded, K5 offsuit is strong enough to open against the big blind. Raising gives us a chance to win the pot immediately.

Calling costs 200 to contest a 600-chip pot, and the small blind can raise a wide range here. With position, connected cards, and no rake, defending is preferable to folding or building a large pot with a weak hand.

This connected flop favors the big blind’s calling range. I’ll check with my king-high flush draw and decide how to continue based on the bet size.

I have only a gutshot and no heart on a monotone board, so even my straight outs may not be clean. Checking takes a free card and avoids building a pot with very weak equity.

King-high has little value on this connected turn, and a bet is unlikely to fold out many better hands. Checking keeps the pot small while preserving a chance to improve on the river.

With almost no showdown value, I can bluff against the small blind's two checks. A two-thirds-pot bet pressures unpaired hands without a heart and some weak pairs on this coordinated board.

The king-high flush draw has nine possible heart outs, and a king may also win against some of the opponent's weaker hands. Calling keeps their bluffs in while avoiding a large raise on a coordinated board.

King-high has little showdown value. A river bet can pressure weaker one-pair hands, while the Kh blocks some heart flushes.

We only play the board and cannot profitably call this large river bet. With no useful blockers to strong hands, a bluff-raise is also unattractive.

QJo is strong enough to open on the button three-handed. A 2.5-big-blind raise builds the pot while preserving position.

Six-five suited is marginal against a button raise from the small blind, where I would play out of position with the big blind still able to squeeze. Folding avoids investing further with limited equity realization.

Nine-three offsuit is far too weak to call a 2.5x raise out of position; folding is clearly best.

K6 offsuit is a reasonable button open three-handed. Raising to 2.5 big blinds pressures the blinds while preserving our positional advantage if called.

AJs plays well 3-betting from the SB against a button open; a small raise applies pressure and can win pot immediately or build a pot with a strong hand in position.

8-5 offsuit is too weak to defend against a 3-bet, especially with the original raiser still to act.

K6 offsuit is too weak to defend against a small-blind three-bet, even with position. Its domination risk and poor playability favor folding over calling or four-bet bluffing.

7-3 offsuit is one of the worst hands; folding on the button preflop is clearly best.

A4 offsuit is strong enough to raise against the big blind after the button folds. Raising to 300 puts pressure on the big blind's wide range.

AQ offsuit is a strong value three-bet against a small-blind opening range. Raising to 1000 builds the pot with position and pressures weaker hands while allowing dominated aces and queens to continue.

A4 offsuit plays poorly out of position against a large three-bet, and calling risks being dominated. Folding preserves chips for a better spot.
