Hold'em table

J8o is a fine small-blind raise heads-up versus the big blind after a button fold; raising to 3bb takes the initiative.

8-5 offsuit is too weak to defend against a small-blind raise heads-up, especially out of position.

73o is too weak to open even from the button in 3-handed play against two blinds with 100bb stacks. Folding is standard.

Complete from the small blind with 8-6 offsuit heads-up versus the big blind; it has sufficient equity and positional disadvantage is manageable at this price.

A4o is marginal out of position, so I check to keep the pot small and see a cheap flop rather than bloating the pot with a weak ace.

I will make a small value/protection bet with bottom pair in this limped heads-up pot, targeting weaker holdings and denying free equity.

A-high with no real draw is unlikely to be best here; calling 100 into 300 with only overcard and backdoor equity is not profitable. Folding preserves chips for a better spot.

Button opening range can profitably include A8 offsuit three-handed; raising builds initiative and targets the blinds.

Weak suited trash (4s2s) out of position facing a raise; calling 200 to see a flop is poor equity and likely dominated. Folding saves chips.

J4 offsuit is too weak to defend out of position against a 2.5x button open, even with 150 to call into a 400 pot; the pot odds do not make up for its poor playability.

J9s is a strong suited hand from the button, so I raise to apply pressure and take initiative preflop.

43o from the small blind facing a button open with the big blind behind is a clear fold; it has poor equity and we'd be out of position.

A7 offsuit has sufficient equity to defend the big blind against a button min-raise-like opening, especially heads-up with favorable pot odds.

This disconnected flop favors the preflop raiser's range more than my ace-high hand. Checking preserves flexibility and avoids inflating the pot with little immediate equity.

I have top pair with a strong kicker plus a flush draw, so I want to build the pot and charge any straight or overcard draws. A bet around two-thirds of the pot puts pressure on the opponent while keeping control.

I have an open-ended straight draw with an overcard and good implied odds against this modest continuation bet.

Ace-high has little showdown value but no credible value bet on this coordinated board. Checking preserves equity and avoids inflating the pot against a flop caller.

I have top pair with a strong kicker on a board that has some draws, so I should bet for value and protection against straight and flush draws. Checking would give free cards, while a bet around two-thirds pot puts pressure on weaker hands.

Ace-high with no meaningful draw has insufficient equity against the continued turn barrel, so folding preserves chips.

J9o on the button is a standard open when three-handed; a small raise to 2.5bb puts pressure on both blinds.

Suited 9-high connector plays well multiway and has sufficient equity to defend the small blind against a small button open.

I have a premium hand in AKs and want to build the pot while applying pressure to the raiser and caller. A raise to 900 should isolate or get value while keeping my stack manageable.

J9o facing a BB squeeze to 9bb with the SB still behind is too weak to continue out of a multiway spot. Folding is the clear choice.

9-high suited is too weak to continue out of position against a large squeeze, especially with the original raiser folded.

J2 suited is too weak to profitably enter against both blinds from the button at this stack depth.
