Hold'em table

Open-raise the button with an ace to leverage position and deny the blinds cheap realization.

7c8h is a weak hand with poor equity against an early position raise. Folding avoids investing more chips into a marginal situation from the small blind.

3-9 offsuit is too weak to defend against a button raise out of position, especially with the small blind already folded. Folding avoids playing a dominated hand with poor implied odds.

T2o is a very weak hand with poor equity against typical preflop ranges. With limited implied odds from the button position and two opponents already invested, folding minimizes expected losses.

The button folded, so I only need 50 more to see a flop with K8o against the big blind. Calling keeps the pot small while I am out of position and avoids bloating the pot with a marginal hand.

8-T offsuit is not strong enough to inflate the pot from the big blind after the small blind completes. Check and realize equity heads-up.

I flopped top pair with a king on a dry-ish board. Betting for value and protection against straight draws.

We have a pair of tens in a heads-up limped pot and should continue versus this small flop lead. Calling keeps weaker pairs and bluffs in while avoiding needless inflation against kings.

I have top pair with a decent kicker on a draw-heavy board, so betting for value and protection is best. If raised, I can reassess given the straight possibilities.

I have a pair plus an open-ended straight draw and am getting a favorable price to continue against this turn bet.

Top pair on a very coordinated board; check to control the pot and evaluate opponent's action.

Our pair of tens has some showdown value, while the paired king river makes a bluff unlikely to fold stronger hands after villain's flop and turn betting. Check back and realize equity.

On the button in a 3-handed game, 89o is a reasonable open to attack the blinds and take control with position. A raise to 300 is standard and leaves room to fold to a 3-bet.

9-high offsuit with a poor kicker is too weak to defend against a button 3x open from the small blind.

8-6o is a weak hand out of position against an aggressive raise. Folding preserves chips and avoids a likely disadvantaged postflop situation.

A7 suited is a strong button opening hand three-handed, with good equity and positional advantage. I raise to apply pressure and build the pot.

8-9 offsuit is a marginal hand facing a 2.5x raise from the button and the big blind still to act. Folding preserves chips in a 3-handed game where position and hand strength matter significantly.

Closing the action with 150 to call into a 400 pot, T8o has enough equity against a wide button open to defend profitably, so I'll call and proceed cautiously postflop.

I have no pair and only a weak backdoor straight draw on a K-Q-high flop; checking out of position avoids putting chips in with marginal equity and lets me fold to a bet.

A small continuation bet leverages our preflop range advantage on this king-high board while retaining fold equity with ace-high.

I have T-high with no pair or draw on a K-Q-x board, and seat_1 has shown strength with a preflop raise and flop bet. Calling 200 is not justified with minimal equity.

KQ is a strong hand in 3-player poker. Raising to 600 (6BB) applies pressure, builds the pot with a premium hand, and positions us well to win preflop or continue profitably post-flop.

A8o is out of position against a 6bb button raise with the big blind still to act, and it is too dominated to call or 3-bet profitably here.

65 offsuit is too weak to defend against a 6x button open out of position.

KJo is strong enough to raise from the button in a 3-handed game, applying pressure and taking initiative. A 3bb raise is standard and keeps my range balanced.

9-7 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a 3bb button open, especially with the big blind still behind.

AJ is a premium hand that plays well against a 3x raise from the button. Raising to 1000 (1bb effective) builds the pot with a strong holding and puts pressure on seat_3 to make a decision, while keeping the effective stack reasonable.

KJo has enough equity against a BB 3-bet in a 3-handed game, and I close the preflop action with position. Calling 700 into 1350 keeps the pot manageable while avoiding a marginal 4-bet.

I have AJ on a 5-2-7 flop with no immediate threats. Checking allows me to see more cards while keeping the pot manageable against seat_3's aggressive preflop play. This is a strong hand that can improve and benefits from position.

K high with no real draw on a dry low flop; checking back in position realizes equity and avoids inflating the pot against a stronger 3-betting range.

I have Jack-Ace offsuit with a Queen on turn. While I have broadway potential, my hand is currently vulnerable in a heads-up situation. Checking allows me to see the river cheaply and control pot size while remaining unpaired.

I have J-high on a paired board (5-2-7-Q-6). My hand has no showdown value, and since seat_3 has checked through turn, checking again keeps the pot manageable and avoids losing more chips to a potential re-raise on the river.
