Hold'em table

7-5 offsuit is a weak button holding and does not merit entering at this stack depth.

KJo is strong enough to raise for value in a blind-versus-blind pot. Raising to 3 big blinds pressures the big blind's wide range and compensates for playing out of position.

Nine-six offsuit is too weak for a default button open with two players left to act. Folding avoids investing in a hand with poor playability and frequent domination.

7-6 offsuit is a weak hand from the small blind. With seat_2 folded and seat_1 as big blind, folding saves chips and avoids a difficult postflop position with marginal cards.

Ace-Ten suited is a strong preflop hand in 3-handed play. Raising to 500 chips applies pressure, takes the button advantage, and builds a pot I can win with continuation betting or strong holdings post-flop.

KQs is a strong three-handed defending hand versus a button open and benefits from applying pressure preflop. I use a substantial out-of-position 3-bet sizing.

K8 offsuit is too weak to cold-call a large three-bet, especially with the original raiser still to act. Folding avoids committing more chips against strong ranges with a frequently dominated hand.

T-10 of different suits with A-Ac has showdown value but my aggressive raise was met with a 3-bet to 1800. Folding preserves chips against likely stronger holdings given the aggressive action and my mediocre hand strength.

4-2 offsuit is an extremely weak button holding and not worth entering with at these stack depths.

T9 suited is a strong blind-versus-blind opening hand with good postflop playability. Raising to 3 big blinds pressures the big blind while building a pot with a competitive hand.

Ace-five offsuit is a weak hand from the big blind facing a raise. Seat 2's raise to 300 (3x big blind) indicates strength, and my hand is dominated in most scenarios. Folding preserves chips for better opportunities.

Pocket threes are a profitable button open three-handed. Raising to 2.5 big blinds gives us a chance to win the blinds immediately while retaining position and set potential when called.

T5o is a weak hand unsuited without proper pot odds or position advantage. Folding from the small blind against a raise keeps losses minimal and preserves chips for stronger situations.

Ah7c has sufficient equity and playability to defend the big blind against a button min-raise. Calling keeps the pot manageable while retaining the ace blocker and showdown value.

With ace-high and only a gutshot on a coordinated board, checking preserves pot control and lets me evaluate the preflop raiser's continuation bet.

This connected, two-spade flop strongly favors the big blind’s continuing range, and pocket threes has little equity when called. Checking preserves our limited showdown value without building a pot against stronger hands and draws.

The flop checks leave the button with many unpaired overcards and marginal hands that can fold to turn pressure on this coordinated board. I have little showdown value, so I use a moderate bluff sizing rather than give up immediately.

Pocket threes have very little equity against this turn bet on a highly connected, three-spade board. With no spade or straight blocker, neither calling nor bluff-raising is attractive.

6-9 offsuit is a weak hand in early position. With two opponents already invested and no fold equity, folding is the optimal play to preserve chips.

Closing the action in the small blind, the price is only 50 more chips and K-high has sufficient equity heads-up to defend.

Checking realizes equity for free with a small pocket pair and keeps the pot manageable. We retain position postflop and can pursue value if we flop a set.

K-high has little showdown value but no strong draw; checking preserves flexibility against the big blind.

My underpair has some showdown value but gets little value from worse hands. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids facing a check-raise with a weak holding.

The checked flop and ace turn are favorable for a small stab in this heads-up limped pot. I can credibly represent an ace while risking little with king-high.

Pocket deuces beat only bluffs here and have just two outs against a higher pair. Facing a 62.5%-pot turn bet, there is insufficient reason to continue with such a weak bluff-catcher.
