Model's stated reason
67o is too weak to open even from the button in this spot; folding avoids playing a dominated offsuit hand out of position postflop if called.
Model's stated reason
In the small blind heads-up against the big blind, K3o is a marginal hand. Calling costs only 50 more to win a pot of 150, which is about 3-to-1 odds, so I'll take a flop rather than fold or bloat the pot with a raise.
Model's stated reason
With 62 offsuit and no cost to continue, checking preserves chips and lets me see a free flop in position. This hand is too weak to justify raising without evidence the small blind overfolds.
Model's stated reason
Second pair (kings are not paired with the board, but K high with a backdoor-free 3 pair: bottom pair of threes) in a heads-up pot where the big blind checked preflop; a small bet gets value from worse and protects against overcards. Small sizing keeps the pot controlled.}</br>
Model's stated reason
Six-high with no pair or direct draw is too weak to continue against a half-pot bet. A backdoor flush draw alone does not justify calling, and there are better hands to use as bluff raises.
Model's stated reason
QQ is a premium hand in 3-handed play; raising to 3.5bb from the button builds the pot and thins the field.
Model's stated reason
86 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a 3.5bb open, especially with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids a low-equity, out-of-position situation.
Model's stated reason
T5 offsuit is too weak to defend the big blind against a 3.5x button open, so folding is the highest-EV line.
Model's stated reason
JTo is a profitable button open three-handed, with position and reasonable postflop playability. Raising to 2.5 big blinds pressures the blinds without committing much of the stack.
Model's stated reason
K6 offsuit is too weak to continue out of position against a button raise to 2.5bb. Folding saves chips for better spots.
Model's stated reason
KQo is a decent hand in the big blind against a button min-raise to 250 in a 3-handed game. Calling 150 more for a pot of 400 gives good odds, and the hand plays well postflop, so I'll call rather than bloat the pot out of position.
Model's stated reason
Kh Qd has two overcards and a backdoor heart draw on a dry 5-9-3 flop heads-up and out of position. A small bet of about half the pot can win the pot now or build it, and I still have equity if called.
Model's stated reason
I have only jack-high, two overcards, and backdoor draws against a bet of over half the pot. With potentially dirty pair outs and limited equity realization, folding is preferable to calling or bluff-raising.
Model's stated reason
On the button in three-handed play, K4 suited is a reasonable steal open; a small raise pressures the blinds and keeps the pot manageable if called.
Model's stated reason
2-7 offsuit is the worst starting hand. Facing a button raise to 250 with a big blind still to act behind, folding is clearly right.
Model's stated reason
J9 offsuit is a reasonable big-blind defense against a button open, needing only 27.3% equity at this price. Calling preserves its value against a wide opening range without inflating the pot out of position.
Model's stated reason
J-high with only backdoor draws is too weak to lead on this paired, queen-high board, which favors the preflop raiser. Check and reassess against their bet sizing.
Model's stated reason
As the preflop raiser I c-bet a small size on this dry paired flop after the big blind checks. King-high has little showdown value, so a cheap stab can fold out a lot of weak hands.
Model's stated reason
J-high has no immediate draw and little showdown value on this paired board. With only weak backdoor possibilities and poor equity realization out of position, folding is preferable to calling or bluff-raising.
Model's stated reason
7-8 offsuit on the button in a 3-handed pot is playable, and calling 100 to win a 250 pot gives a good price without bloating the pot out of position.
Model's stated reason
Completing costs only 50 into a 250-chip pot, giving Q9 offsuit sufficient value to see a flop. Raising would inflate the pot out of position with a marginal hand.
Model's stated reason
52 offsuit is too weak to raise, and checking is free as the big blind after both opponents limped.
Model's stated reason
With only queen-high and a weak backdoor flush draw, betting into two opponents out of position is unattractive. Checking preserves chips and allows a free turn if both opponents check.
Model's stated reason
Bottom pair with a weak kicker has little value against two opponents, so I take the free check rather than inflate the pot.
Model's stated reason
Both opponents checked the dry K-6-2 flop, so I'm betting 200 into 300 from the button. I have 7-8 with a gutshot-ish backdoor draw (8-7 with 6 gives open-ended potential on turn), and the small bet takes the pot often or builds equity if called.
Model's stated reason
Q-high with only a weak backdoor flush draw cannot profitably continue against a two-thirds-pot bet, especially with another player still to act. Folding avoids investing more with poor equity and no position.
Model's stated reason
Bottom pair with a weak kicker is out of position against a flop stab on a king-high board, and it is not worth calling 200.
Model's stated reason
Pocket sixes are a clear button open three-handed. Raising to 2.5 big blinds applies pressure to the blinds while preserving positional value when called.
Model's stated reason
Q9 suited has enough playability to defend the small blind against a standard button open, and a three-bet would be too loose out of position.
Model's stated reason
5d8h is a weak offsuit hand out of position, facing a button raise and a small blind call. It needs 150 to win 600, but it would play poorly postflop against two opponents, so folding is better than calling.
Model's stated reason
Queen-high with only a gutshot on an ace-high flop is too weak to bet out of position into the preflop raiser, and checking is free.
Model's stated reason
Pocket sixes has some showdown value but gets little value from worse hands on this board. Checking back keeps the pot small and takes a free chance to improve without risking a check-raise.
Model's stated reason
I have the second-nut straight on a non-flush board, so I bet for value against the preflop raiser's Ax, pairs, and draws. A roughly three-quarter pot bet builds the pot while keeping worse hands in.
Model's stated reason
Pocket sixes have little showdown value on this board and only two outs to improve against most made hands. Facing a three-quarter-pot bet with no useful draw or bluff blockers, folding is best.
