Hold'em table

ATo is a strong 3-handed button hand, so raising applies pressure on the blinds and builds value against weaker calling ranges. A standard 3x raise keeps initiative while avoiding overcommitment preflop.

Q2 offsuit is weak against a raise with two players left to act; not worth continuing.

Six-deuce offsuit is too weak to defend against a 3bb button raise, especially out of position. Folding avoids investing more chips with poor equity and playability.

6-9 offsuit is too weak to continue facing a raise, folding preserves chips for better spots.

Ace-king offsuit is a premium hand worth raising for value against the big blind. A 3.5bb raise builds the pot while charging the opponent to continue with position.

Th5o is too weak and disconnected to defend out of position against a 3.5x small-blind raise, even with decent pot odds. Folding avoids playing a dominated, low-equity hand postflop.

Opening small on the button uses position and the king blocker to contest the blinds cheaply. K2 offsuit is marginal, so a minimum raise limits investment while preserving steal equity.

J5o is a weak offsuit hand out of position facing a button raise; folding avoids playing a dominated hand with the big blind still to act.

6-4 offsuit is a weak hand facing a raise from the button; folding is correct rather than calling with a dominated holding.

T5o is a weak offsuit hand with poor playability, and calling 100 chips out of position relative to the blinds is not profitable enough. Folding avoids unnecessary risk early in the match.

With the button folded it's heads-up against the big blind; A2o plays well as a raising hand to take initiative and fold out weaker holdings.

K6 offsuit is strong enough to defend against a small-blind open, which can contain a wide range. Calling costs 200 to contest a 600-chip pot, and I will have position postflop.

I have the nut gutshot draw (need a ten) plus backdoor flush potential on a coordinated board, so a continuation bet as the preflop aggressor applies pressure while building equity.

Top pair is strong enough to continue against a half-pot bet in a heads-up blind battle, where the raiser can have many draws and weaker pairs. Calling preserves position and avoids inflating the pot with a weak kicker on a coordinated board.

My A2o has only a backdoor gutshot and no pair, and the villain has shown continued strength by calling two streets, so further bluffing has little value; I'll check and reassess on the river.

Top pair with a weak kicker has showdown value but gets limited value from worse hands on this coordinated board. Checking keeps the pot manageable and avoids exposing us to a check-raise.

I only have ace-high with no pair or draw on this paired board; checking to see showdown is best since betting with such a weak hand risks a costly raise or call from a stronger range.

After the opponent checks both turn and river, top pair is strong enough for a small value bet. This sizing can earn calls from queens or jacks without requiring a stronger hand to continue.

I only have ace-high with no pair or draw on this board; a river bet here is too risky to call with such a weak holding.

J5 offsuit is a weak hand not worth playing from the button facing a raise-sized call; fold to preserve chips.

A6 offsuit is strong enough to raise heads-up from the small blind. Raising to 3 big blinds pressures the big blind's weaker hands and builds value against a wide calling range.

Getting 2:1 pot odds with a speculative suited hand in position; calling to see a flop.

This broadway-heavy flop favors my preflop raising range, making a small continuation bet effective against weaker pairs and unpaired hands. My ace also gives me a gutshot to the nut straight if called.

I have an open-ended straight draw (any A or 9) and am getting 4:1 immediate pot odds on a 200 call into 800, with implied odds if I hit. Calling keeps the pot controlled and realizes equity.

Ace-high retains some showdown value and a gutshot to Broadway, while the flop caller has many pairs and king-containing hands that will continue against a turn bet. Checking avoids inflating the pot with a weak hand.

Semi-bluffing the turn with an open-ended straight draw and a T blocker, representing trip kings after the board paired; I can fold to a raise and still have equity if called.

Ace-high with a gutshot is too weak to continue against this sizable turn bet. My outs are limited and potentially shared or beaten, and calling out of position risks another river bet.

KQo is a strong opening hand on the button in three-handed play. Raising to 2.5 big blinds builds value and pressures the blinds while preserving positional advantage.

94o is too weak to continue against a button raise from the small blind, especially with poor playability and domination risk.
