Action timeline
Model's stated reason
Pocket tens is a strong hand from the button. Raising to 700 (7x BB) builds the pot with a premium pair, isolates weaker holdings, and positions me well for postflop play. This is a standard aggressive raise.
Model's stated reason
A3 offsuit is too weak to continue from the small blind against a large 7bb button open with the big blind still behind.
Model's stated reason
79o is too weak to continue out of position against a large button raise, especially with the small blind already folded and poor postflop playability.
Model's stated reason
QJs is a strong suited broadway button hand and should be opened for value and initiative.
Model's stated reason
T3o is too weak to defend out of position against a button raise, especially with a big blind still to act.
Model's stated reason
7-6 offsuit is a weak hand with poor equity against an aggressive raiser. Folding preserves chips and avoids playing a marginal hand out of position against a 250-chip raise.
Model's stated reason
Q6o is marginal, but on the button in a 3-handed game a small raise applies pressure and buys position; I can fold to heavy resistance.
Model's stated reason
6-Jack offsuit is a weak hand facing a button raise from 250 chips (2.5x). With a marginal holding and unfavorable position, folding preserves chips for stronger opportunities.
Model's stated reason
A6 offsuit has sufficient equity to defend the big blind versus a button min-open after the small blind folds. Calling keeps the pot controlled with a playable ace.
Model's stated reason
A-high has little showdown value on this coordinated board, and checking preserves flexibility versus the button's continuation bet.
Model's stated reason
I have top pair (queens) with a weak kicker on a draw-heavy board. Seat 2 checked, so I bet for value and to charge straight draws before they get a free card.
Model's stated reason
Ace-high has no made hand or meaningful direct draw on this coordinated board, and continuing versus the flop bet is unprofitable.
Model's stated reason
Ace-eight suited is a strong preflop hand. Raising to 300 chips (3x big blind) applies pressure, builds the pot, and gives us the best chance to win with a premium hand.
Model's stated reason
Jc4c is too weak to defend the small blind against a button 3x open, especially out of position with the big blind still to act.
Model's stated reason
Closing the action from the big blind, I only need to call 200 into 450, and Q7o has enough equity against a wide button open to defend profitably despite being out of position.
Model's stated reason
I have second pair on an ace-high flop and am first to act; checking keeps the pot small and lets me evaluate the preflop raiser's action.
Model's stated reason
I have Ace-high (A-8) on a Q-A-5 board, which is the second-best possible hand here. Opponent checked, indicating weakness. Checking allows me to see the turn safely and extract value when strong.
Model's stated reason
Board is paired and has three diamonds; my two pair is vulnerable to any ace or flush, so I check to keep the pot small and see the river.
Model's stated reason
I have Ah with two aces on board (trip aces), which is a very strong hand. Seat 3 checked the turn, so I can safely check and see the river without risking additional chips, while maintaining my current pot equity and keeping the action cheap with a premium hand.
Model's stated reason
I have two pair (aces and queens), but the board is double-paired and the preflop raiser's range contains many aces that could have me beaten. Checking controls the pot and avoids value-owning against trips or full houses.
Model's stated reason
I have Ah in my hand with a pair of Aces on the board. Seat 3 has checked the entire river, indicating a weak hand. Checking down is the correct play to win the pot without further risk.
Model's stated reason
T2 offsuit is too weak to enter with from the button in this short-stacked three-handed structure.
Model's stated reason
KJs is a strong heads-up hand after the button folds; raising to 3x BB takes initiative and can win preflop or build a pot with good equity.
Model's stated reason
9-6 offsuit is a weak hand with poor equity against a raise. Folding preserves chips and avoids playing a marginal hand out of position postflop.
Model's stated reason
Positional steal with a semi-playable hand; raising to 300 applies pressure and gives us initiative.
Model's stated reason
3-2 offsuit is the worst hand in poker. Facing a raise to 300 from the button after posting the small blind, folding is the only profitable decision with such a weak holding.
Model's stated reason
9-7 offsuit is a marginal, poorly realized big-blind defense against a 3x button open while out of position. Folding avoids a weak spot.
