Hold'em table

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

KQs is a strong heads-up hand against the big blind after the button folded; raising applies pressure and builds the pot with a premium holding.

Defending JTo in the big blind against a small blind open, getting 2:1 direct pot odds with position postflop.

I raised preflop and the J55 board likely missed the big blind's calling range. A half-pot continuation bet can take the pot down while also leveraging my overcards and backdoor flush potential.

I flop top pair on a dry paired board facing a half-pot c-bet from the small blind; calling is standard to keep their bluffs in.

I have only king-high with no strong draw on a paired board, so checking controls the pot and avoids risking chips as a bluff against a caller.

We hold top pair with a mediocre kicker on a paired board; checking back controls the pot size and preserves showdown value.

We have a full house (fives full of jacks). Betting 300 targets calls from underpairs and wins immediately if the opponent is inactive.

Raising on the button with J7s to take the initiative and apply pressure on the blinds from a position of strength.

A5o is too weak to call a 3bb button open out of position, and not suited enough to make a good 3-bet bluff.

54 offsuit is too weak to defend out of position against a three-big-blind raise.

Opening on the button with a medium pocket pair is standard value and aggression 3-handed.

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

3h2s is the worst starting hand; folding to a button raise is standard as we are out of position.

With the button and a suited connector, I’ll open to pressure the blinds and play in position.

A2o is a weak offsuit ace out of position against a button raise with the big blind still to act; folding avoids playing a dominated hand in a marginal spot.

Q7o is too weak to defend out of position against a 2.5bb open from the button.

7-6 offsuit has decent playability in position, and raising on the button in a 3-handed pot applies pressure and takes initiative. I'll make a standard 3x open to try to win the blinds or play a heads-up pot with position.

Fold 43o from the small blind facing a button open raise.

Nine-five offsuit is too weak to defend out of position against a three-big-blind raise.

Ten-deuce offsuit is too weak to open, even from the button in 3-handed play.

Q4 offsuit is playable blind-versus-blind, and a small raise can take the pot now while keeping the investment modest.

Calling 150 to close preflop with pocket sevens and position; heads-up vs the small blind open, this keeps the pot manageable and lets us evaluate postflop.

This low, connected flop favors the big blind’s calling range, and queen-high has little immediate equity. Checking avoids building a pot out of position with a weak hand.

I flopped a set of sevens on a draw-heavy board and want to build the pot while charging flush and straight draws. A bet of 400 into 500 is a strong value size that can also get called by overpairs.

Q-high with only weak backdoor draws has insufficient equity to call the flop bet.
