Hold'em table

Calling with a suited king on the button is reasonable in a three-handed pot, seeing a cheap flop while keeping the pot small.

J5 offsuit is too weak to continue from the small blind versus a limp and the big blind, with poor realization out of position.

J6 suited is fine to see a free flop in the big blind, and I'll be out of position against the button limper. Raising has some merit, but checking keeps the pot small with a marginal hand.

Bottom pair with a weak kicker on a wet two-tone board, out of position against a limper. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me see if the button bets; a small lead is also reasonable, but checking is fine here.

K-high has some showdown value and the opponent checked, so I can see a free turn rather than risk chips with a weak hand.

Trip sixes with a decent kicker on a draw-heavy turn; bet about two-thirds pot for value and to charge spade and straight draws after the button checked back the flop.","amount_to_note":""}

I have only King-high with no draw on a paired board, and facing a turn bet I don't have enough equity to call or bluff profitably.

J2 offsuit is a weak button holding and does not justify entering against both blinds at this stack depth.

Blind vs blind with a suited connector, raising to 3bb is a reasonable mixed strategy that applies pressure and keeps the initiative. 43s plays fine as an occasional raise from the SB.

5h2h is a very weak hand out of position facing a raise, and calling would risk too much with poor equity and reverse implied odds. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

76o on the button in a 3-handed game is a reasonable open-raise to steal the blinds. A small 2.5bb size keeps it cheap when I get played back at.

99 is strong enough to 3-bet for value against a button open; sizing to 8bb puts pressure while keeping room to fold to a 4-bet.

Q7 offsuit is too weak to defend profitably against the small blind's large 3-bet, especially out of position.

76 offsuit plays poorly against a small-blind 3-bet to 8bb, even with position, and 4-bet bluffing it is unnecessary. Folding costs only the 2.5bb open.

KJo is strong enough to open from the button, and raising puts pressure on the blinds while taking initiative preflop.

Calling from the small blind with suited A-T is profitable against a button open, especially with the big blind still in and good implied odds.

Q5o is dominated and plays poorly multiway out of position against a button open and a small blind call; the 200 to call into 700 isn't enough to justify it.

Check this marginal pair on a coordinated two-club board, keeping the pot controlled while retaining showdown value.

Semi-bluff with an open-ended straight draw. A bet can take the pot immediately, and if called I still have strong equity to improve on the turn.

Top pair with a gutshot is strong enough to continue, but raising this highly connected two-club board would isolate us against stronger made hands and robust draws. Calling retains the opponent's bluffs.

With a marginal pair on a coordinated board, checking controls the pot and retains showdown value while allowing us to respond to the opponent's turn action.

I have a king-high straight on the turn and the opponent checked, so I bet for value while charging any draws.

Top pair with an ace kicker has sufficient showdown value and retains outs against draws and some made hands. The turn sizing gives a reasonable price to continue.

We have a king-high flush and should value bet against smaller club holdings. A moderate sizing can still be called by weaker flushes while limiting losses to ace- or jack-high clubs.

I have a straight, but the river card also completes a flush and a higher straight is possible, so calling is the prudent play given the pot odds.

T2 offsuit is too weak to open profitably three-handed from the button at this stack depth.

In a blind-versus-blind spot, T4o is too weak to raise profitably but gets a good price to complete. Calling costs half a big blind into a 1.5bb pot, so I'll see a cheap flop and play carefully.

ATo is strong enough to raise for value against the small blind's weak limp, and this sizing takes dead money while still applying pressure. I'll isolate and play a smaller pot if called.

T4o is too weak to call a 3.5x raise out of position from the small blind after limping. Folding loses only the 100 already invested.

In 3-handed play on the button, K2o is a reasonable open-raise with only the two blinds left to act.

K6 offsuit is too weak to defend profitably against a button open at this sizing, especially out of position.
