Hold'em table

94o is too weak to open even from the button in a 3-handed game. Folding is standard.

With 9-7 offsuit in the small blind, calling 50 chips keeps the pot manageable while taking a cheap heads-up flop.

TJs is a strong suited broadway hand; raising in position against a limper can take down the pot or build value.

Nine-seven offsuit plays poorly out of position against a raise, and calling another 200 chips is unlikely to be profitable.

On the button, 8-7 offsuit is a reasonable steal with positional advantage. A 2.5-big-blind open keeps the risk modest.

J6o offsuit is too weak to call a button raise out of position with the big blind still to act.

T7s has sufficient playability and equity to defend the big blind getting 2.7 to 1 pot odds against a button open.

I flop top pair on a monotone board without a heart, making a check the standard play to pot-control out of position.

A small bet gets value from weaker pairs and charges overcards or single-heart draws. With a vulnerable middle pair, I can reassess if raised.

Flopping top pair against a small one-third pot continuation bet warrants a call despite the monotone texture, as we are getting favorable pot odds.

With four hearts on board and no heart in hand, checking to see what the button does is the standard line.

With middle pair and no heart on a four-heart board, betting is unlikely to get called by worse often enough. Checking controls the pot and preserves the option to respond on the river.

The board has five hearts, giving both players at least a King-high flush. With no heart in hand, checking avoids losing extra chips against villain's flush-improving hearts while realizing our chop equity if villain also lacks a heart.

With no heart, I can only play the board flush. Betting risks losing chips when called by any heart, so I’ll take the free showdown.

J9o is a marginal but playable button hand; raising applies pressure on the blinds and takes initiative with position.

42 offsuit is far too weak to defend out of position against a button open.

A3 offsuit has enough equity to defend the big blind against a button raise, and calling keeps the pot manageable.

This coordinated monotone flop favors the preflop raiser, and my ace-high hand has only a gutshot. Checking keeps the pot small while preserving my chance to improve.

I flopped a K-high straight and want to charge flush draws and worse made hands. Betting also builds the pot while I likely have the best hand.

Ace-high with a gutshot and no diamond has too little equity to continue against this sizable bet on a coordinated flop, especially out of position.

Opening Kc7c on the button 3-handed to 2.5bb with a playable suited king.

5-6 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

J4o is too weak to defend out of position against a button raise, despite decent pot odds; folding avoids playing a dominated, low-equity hand postflop.

Nine-deuce offsuit is too weak to profitably open from the button against two players.

With the button folded, this is effectively heads-up and Q7o is strong enough to raise for initiative rather than limp out of position. A raise also gives the big blind a chance to fold and avoids playing a weak offsuit hand passively.

Holding T3s in the big blind against an open raise from the small blind is too weak to defend profitably.

A7o on the button in a 3-handed game is strong enough to raise for value and initiative. A standard 3x raise applies pressure to the blinds.

92s is far too weak to defend out of position facing a 3x open from the button.

Offsuit 6-5 plays poorly out of position against a 3x button raise, and the price is not attractive enough to defend.
