Hold'em table

K3o is too weak of a holding to open profitably from the button even in 3-handed play.

Button folded, so I raise J2s from the small blind instead of completing out of position. A 2.5bb open keeps this suited hand in a wide steal range and denies the big blind a cheap flop.

AQo is far ahead of a small-blind's wide raising range after the button folds; 3-betting for value builds the pot and keeps the initiative while avoiding bloated pots out of position with a marginal call.

J2s is too weak to continue against a 3-bet after the button folded; calling or 4-betting would be a clear mistake with this hand.

63 offsuit is too weak to open from the button for a full big blind, so folding preserves chips.

Ace-jack suited is strong heads-up against only the big blind; raising builds the pot with a premium hand and denies the BB a cheap flop.

Defending the big blind in position against a standard small blind open with A4o, getting 2:1 pot odds.

As the preflop raiser in position against a checked-to spot, a half-pot continuation bet with ace-high leverages my fold equity against the big blind's wide checking range, and the Ac gives me backdoor club equity if called.

I have weak Ace-high with virtually no backdoor draws on an uncoordinated flop, so folding to the half-pot c-bet is standard.

With A6s in the small blind blind-versus-blind after the button folds, raising to 3bb is a standard value and initiative-taking play.

JTs is strong enough to continue against a small-blind open, and calling keeps the pot manageable while realizing suited-connector equity.

C-betting one-third pot as the preflop aggressor with an overcard and a gutshot straight draw.

JTs has two overcards and a backdoor flush draw in position, and the 200 bet into 800 offers reasonable pot odds to continue.

I turned a monster combo draw with the nut flush draw and a gutshot straight draw; continuing aggression with a 65% pot semi-bluff generates strong fold equity while retaining massive equity if called.

Jack-high with only a gutshot and two overcards does not have the equity to call a sizable turn bet from an opponent who has bet every street. Pot odds are short of what this draw needs, so folding preserves chips.

AJo is a strong hand on the button in 3-handed play; raising to 2.5bb is standard to build the pot and apply pressure on the blinds.

J5o is too weak to continue out of position against a button open, with the big blind still to act. Folding preserves the stack for better spots.

83o is dominated against a 2.5x raiser; calling 150 more with a weak hand out of position has negative EV.

25 offsuit is too weak to open from the button in a three-handed pot, so folding is the highest-EV option.

Heads-up after the button folds, A8o has strong equity against the big blind's wide range. Raising to 3x builds the pot with a hand that's often ahead and applies fold equity.

In a blind versus blind situation, A4o has sufficient equity and the advantage of position to comfortably defend against a 3bb open.

I raised preflop and flopped heads-up with ace-high overcards on a dry K32 board; a small continuation bet pressures the caller's BB-range and can take it down.

I have bottom pair with top kicker on a dry board facing a standard continuation bet, getting good pot odds to call one street.

I only have ace-high with a gutshot to the wheel on a K-high board, out of position against a caller who showed strength preflop and on the flop. Taking a free card keeps the pot small and preserves my fold equity for a later street.

I have middle pair with top kicker and a gutshot straight draw; checking behind controls the pot and realizes equity.

We made a wheel straight with our ace on a 2-3-4-5 board. Betting roughly half pot targets calls from King-x holdings that seat 3 checked down.

My As gives the wheel (A-2-3-4-5), but only a 6 beats me, and raising folds out worse hands while only 6x calls/raises. Calling keeps the pot cheap against the rare better straight.

K2o from the button is a weak hand worth a limp at most, and folding keeps chips for better spots.

94o is far too weak to complete or raise from the small blind out of position.
