Hold'em table

7-3 offsuit is too weak to open profitably from the button against two live blinds.

Opening Kc Qc suited from the small blind for value and initiative blind-versus-blind.

JTo in the big blind getting 2:1 on a call (200 to win 400) against a small blind raise from a wide range in 3-handed play. The hand has decent equity and playability, so calling beats folding, and a 3-bet is unnecessary.

As the preflop raiser on a paired board, a small one-third pot continuation bet performs well with two overcards and backdoor equity.

Top pair with a decent kicker (JT on J-5-5) is well ahead of the small blind's wide raising range. The pot odds are good, and calling keeps bluffs in while avoiding a raise that only better hands would call.

We missed the flop and turn with KQ high. Checking allows us to see river cheaply or evaluate opponent's reaction.

I have top pair with a T kicker on a paired board, and seat_2 checked the turn after betting the flop, which suggests weakness. A bet of 400 into the 1000 pot gets value from worse jacks and draws and denies equity to overcards, while a check-raise from seat_2 is unlikely to cost me much.

I missed the board completely with KcQc and have no significant draw after checking the turn, so folding to the bet is the most prudent play.

J7s is comfortably within a standard button opening range in 3-handed play.

A5s is a decent hand in 3-handed play against a button open to 2.5bb, and calling 200 more for a 400 pot is priced well. A 3-bet bluff is possible but out of position with a big BB behind, so calling is simpler.

54 offsuit plays poorly in a multiway pot out of position. The cheap call is tempting, but its equity is difficult to realize.

Top pair with an ace on a coordinated Q-J-A board, out of position against the button's wide raising range. I'll bet about 2/3 pot for value and to charge straight and flush draws.

Seat 3 donk bets into a wet board of Qd Ac Jc. Third pair with a seven kicker has very poor equity and reverse implied odds.

Pocket eights on the button in a 3-handed game is a strong hand, so I raise to 3bb for value and to take the initiative with position.

T6 offsuit is too weak to defend the small blind against a 3x button raise with the big blind still to act.

Holding 32o in the big blind against an open raise is an easy and standard fold.

On the button in a three-handed pot, 4♦3♦ is playable as a small open-raise because it has suited and connected potential and I will have position postflop.

A2o plays poorly out of position against a button raise with the big blind still behind. Folding is standard.

Q7o is a marginal hand, but the button's 2.5x open in a 3-handed game is wide. I'm getting 400 to 150, about 2.7 to 1, and I'll be closing the action with a queen-high hand, so calling is better than folding or bluff-raising.

Queen-high with a backdoor-free 7 on a K-3-A board is weak, and the button (last to act) raised preflop and has position and range advantage. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me see what the button does.

Bottom pair has some showdown value, but a bet is unlikely to get called by many worse hands. Checking keeps the pot manageable and lets me reassess on the turn.

I have only queen-high on a K-3-A-4 board, so I can't beat any pair and can't expect worse hands to call. The button checked the flop back, so checking to see the river cheaply is the safest play.

Bottom two pair is likely ahead after the big blind checked twice. Betting 400 gets value from one-pair hands and charges club draws.

Queen-high with a gutshot on an A-K-3-4 board; calling 400 to win 950 needs about 30% equity and I have far less against a button bet after a checked flop.

76 offsuit is too weak to profitably open on the button even 3-handed.

3-4 offsuit is a weak hand, and out of position against the big blind it isn't worth putting more chips in to see a flop, even for only 50 more.

2-10 offsuit is a weak hand out of position postflop against two opponents, so folding on the button costs nothing and avoids a marginal spot.

Q4 offsuit is playable heads-up against the big blind, but not strong enough to build a large pot out of position. Completing the small blind keeps the investment modest.

With pocket sevens in position against a small blind limp, raising to 3.5bb builds the pot with an equity edge and takes initiative.

Q4 offsuit is too weak to defend against a sizable raise out of position.
