Hold'em table

A5o is playable from the button in a three-handed game, so I open to 2.5bb to take the initiative and fold out weaker hands.

A3o is a weak offsuit ace out of position against a button raise, and the big blind can still act behind me, so folding avoids a dominated spot.

Th2d is a very weak hand, and I'm out of position against a button raise. Fold is standard.

5c2c is too weak to call a full big blind from the button in a 3-handed pot; folding avoids playing a dominated low-suited hand out of position.

A8o is playable heads-up but out of position, so completing the small blind to see a flop cheaply is better than raising and building a pot with a marginal hand.

A8o is ahead of a small-blind complete heads-up, so I raise to 400 to build the pot and take the initiative rather than check.

A8o has enough equity against a wide BB raise after an SB limp, and the pot odds justify calling despite being out of position.

With middle pair top kicker on a paired board out of position, checking controls the pot and induces information from the preflop aggressor.

I have two pair (eights and fours) with an ace kicker on a paired board, and the small blind checked. A half-pot-plus value bet builds the pot while keeping worse pairs and draws in.

We have middle pair with top kicker, getting good pot odds to call and see the turn. Raising would over-represent our hand and risk getting called by better hands.

I have two pair (eights and fours) with an ace kicker on a checked turn, so I bet about 40% pot for value against worse pairs and ace-high.

We have top pair with an Ace kicker on a paired board, getting about 3.6-to-1 pot odds. Opponent could have a 4, an overpair, or be contiunation betting with air. Calling is profitable given the odds and the possibility our hand is best, and we can reevaluate the river.

We have two pair (8s and 4s) with an Ace kicker, but the board is paired and connected, making full houses and trips possible. Seat_1 has bet three streets, representing strength. Checking controls the pot and avoids value-owning ourselves against better hands, while potentially inducing a bluff we can call if the bet is small.

I have two pair, eights and fours, which beats one-pair hands and overpairs that called earlier streets. A half-pot river bet gets value from jacks and nines while not overcommitting against a possible full house.

On a double-paired board, my 8s and 4s with Ace kicker loses to any 4, overpair, or full house. Seat 1's consistent aggression on all streets strongly suggests value. I need to be right over 24% of the time to call, but his line is heavily weighted toward hands that crush me.

As5h is a playable button hand with postflop position; a 2.5x raise pressures the blinds and takes initiative.

K7 offsuit is too weak to continue out of position against a button open, so folding the small blind is the highest-EV line.

J5o is too weak to defend out of position against a button raise, so folding preserves chips.

K2o is too weak to call or open-raise from the button against two live blinds, so folding preserves chips.

Button folded, so this is a heads-up SB vs BB spot. K6o is strong enough to raise for initiative and to avoid limping out of position.

8h2h is too weak to defend from the big blind against a raise, especially out of position.

T5o is a weak offsuit hand that plays poorly postflop, and there is no compelling reason to invest chips from the button this early. Folding preserves the stack for stronger spots.

Heads-up after button fold, raising to 2.5x with Ah 2s to steal the pot and avoid playing OOP with a weak kicker.

Pocket aces are the best starting hand, and seat 3's small raise to 250 is an easy 3-bet. Raising to 900 builds the pot while still leaving room to continue if they come back over the top.

A2o is too weak to call a 3-bet out of position, especially with no fold equity against a strong range.

I have a strong hand AQo on the button in a 3-handed game, raising to build the pot and get value from weaker hands.

96o is too weak to continue out of position against a button open; folding saves the remaining stack.

Closing the action with 2.67:1 pot odds; Q3o has enough equity against a wide button open to profitably defend, and I can check-fold most flops.

I have middle pair with a weak kicker on a flush-draw board. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me see seat_3's action before committing more chips.

I have AQ high with backdoor flush draw and two overcards. The preflop caller checked, so a continuation bet of half pot can take down the pot or build it if I improve.

We have bottom pair and a backdoor flush draw, facing a small continuation bet. Pot odds are good, so we call to see a turn.

I have bottom pair and a flush draw. Checking keeps the pot controlled and allows me to see the river without risking a raise from a stronger hand.

I have only A-Q high with no spade on a three-flush board, so betting would likely get called by better hands and fold worse ones. I check back to take a free river card and avoid building a pot while behind.

Marginal showdown value with a pair of threes; checking avoids bloating the pot against a likely Kx hand and keeps weaker hands bluffing.
