Hold'em table

K3s is a playable suited hand in position, and raising lets me put pressure on the blinds while giving myself a chance to win the pot uncontested.

J5 offsuit is a weak small-blind hand versus a button open, and calling out of position is unlikely to be profitable.

J6 suited in the big blind facing a 2.5x button open gets good pot odds (150 to win 400) and is a standard defend, though not strong enough to 3-bet.

Middle pair with a weak kicker, out of position against the preflop raiser on a draw-heavy board. Checking controls the pot and lets me decide against a c-bet.

Trip sixes with a jack kicker is well ahead of a range that checked back the flop, so I'm betting about two-thirds pot for value and to charge spade and straight draws.

On the button in a three-handed game, a minimum open with this jack-high hand can profit from position and blind folds while keeping the risk small.

43 suited out of position in the small blind facing a button min-raise, with the big blind still to act, is a marginal hand. Folding is the standard low-risk play.

5-2 offsuit is too weak to continue against a raise, especially out of position. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

On the button in 3-handed play, 76o is a reasonable open to steal the blinds with a small raise.

I have a strong pair and want to isolate the button's open raise while charging the big blind to enter. A 3-bet to 800 builds the pot and puts pressure on weaker hands.

Q7 offsuit is too weak to defend against a large open and a 3-bet from the small blind in a three-handed pot.

76o facing a 3-bet from the small blind; calling 550 more to win 1700 with a weak offsuit hand isn't profitable enough, even with position.

KJo is a strong hand from the button, so I raise to put pressure on the blinds and take control of the pot.

ATo is a strong blocker-heavy hand against a button open and benefits from taking the initiative rather than realizing equity out of position.

Q5o is far too weak to continue against a button open and a small blind 3-bet, especially with the opener still left to act.

T2 offsuit is too weak to open profitably against both blinds.

T4o is a weak holding out of position in the small blind; with deep 100bb stacks, completing or raising here is marginal-to-losing, so folding is the simplest option.

K2o on the button in 3-handed play is a standard open; a small raise pressures both blinds.

As6o has decent equity against a button open, and I'm getting 2:1 pot odds. I'll call to see a flop in position relative to the raiser, keeping the pot manageable.

K6 offsuit performs poorly multiway against a button raise and small-blind call. Folding avoids defending a dominated, weak holding from the big blind.

On A-5-3 with two diamonds, my K2 has a gutshot, a backdoor flush draw with a king-high diamond, and good fold equity against the small blind, who checked. As the preflop raiser in position, I make a small c-bet of a third of the pot.

I have top pair with a decent kicker and a backdoor flush draw. The opponent's flop bet could be a bluff or a weaker ace, so I want to charge draws and protect my hand.

The price is 600 into 2200, about 27% equity needed. A gutshot to the wheel plus a backdoor nut-flush draw falls a bit short on raw equity, but deep stacks give good implied odds, so calling is better than folding or turning the hand into a bluff.

With a nut flush draw plus a wheel gutshot (about 12 outs) against a flop check-raiser who is likely strong, I'll take the free river card instead of risking a check-raise.

I have king-high with no showdown value, and the opponent's last few actions were automatic timeout checks, so a bet may well get folded by the timeout rule. A solid bluff also represents the made diamond flush.
