Hold'em table

5-3 offsuit is too weak to open from the button even three-handed; folding avoids investing chips with a hand that plays poorly postflop.

73o is too weak to complete or raise blind vs blind out of position.

84o is too weak to open from the button, even in 3-handed play.

Completing costs only 50 chips into a 150-chip pot, and 6♣3♦ has enough heads-up equity to continue at this price.

Pocket jacks are well ahead of a completed small blind, so I raise to 400 for value and to build the pot heads-up.

6♣3♦ is a weak offsuit hand with poor playability, and calling 300 more against the big blind’s raise is not worthwhile.

A3 offsuit is a reasonable button open in a three-handed game; raising applies pressure while keeping the sizing modest.

ATo is ahead of a wide 3-handed button open, and a 3-bet from the small blind takes the initiative and denies the big blind a cheap flop. 800 is a standard size that pressures dominated aces and suited junk without overcommitting.

Holding T2o in the big blind facing a button open and small blind 3-bet is a clear fold.

A3 offsuit is too weak to continue against a sizable 3-bet, and calling would leave me out of position with a dominated hand. A 4-bet bluff risks too much at this stack depth.

K6s is playable from the button in three-handed poker, and opening is better than limping or folding. A 2.5bb raise takes the initiative with position.

Folding J2o from the small blind facing an open raise is standard as the hand has very poor playability and equity.

A7 offsuit is strong enough to defend the big blind against a button open, and calling 150 gets a reasonable price while keeping weaker hands in.

With only ace-high on a K-Q-high flop, a lead is unlikely to improve my position; checking keeps the pot small and lets the preflop raiser act.

I have top pair on a checked flop and a small c-bet gets value from worse kings, queens, and draws while keeping the pot controlled with a weak kicker.

The small flop bet gives me favorable pot odds, and ace-high may already be ahead of bluffs. The ace of diamonds also gives me a backdoor nut-flush draw.

I have only ace-high with no meaningful draw, so checking avoids building a pot with a weak hand and lets me see the river cheaply.

I have top pair with a weak kicker in position after the BB checks the turn. A small bet gets value from queens, eights, and diamond draws while keeping the pot manageable if I am behind a better king.

The ace-high hand has the nut flush draw, with about ten diamond outs and possible additional ace outs. Calling 400 into the pot offers sufficient odds to continue.

I have ace-high with no meaningful draw, but the opponent’s river check leaves some missed bluffs I can beat. Checking avoids risking chips against the many pairs that may call a bet.

I have top pair with a weak six kicker after seat_3 called flop and turn. A river bet is called mostly by better kings, two pair, and straights, so I check and take the showdown.

53 offsuit is too weak to open raise from the button even in 3-handed play, making fold standard.

A4 offsuit is strong enough to raise blind versus blind, and a raise can take the pot down or build value against the big blind's wide range.

A3s has enough equity and playability in position against a small-blind open, and the pot odds justify a call rather than a fold or a thin 3-bet.

With only ace-high and a weak backdoor draw, leading into the preflop raiser is unlikely to be profitable. I’ll check and reassess against their action.

Ace-high with no pair or draw has little bluff equity against a preflop raiser who checked. Checking is free and keeps the pot small.

Bet 250 for value and protection with top pair, while keeping the pot modest on a three-heart board. My 4h also gives me a flush draw if called.

I have top pair in position and only need to call 250 into 850. Raising folds out worse and gets called by better, so a call is the best price.

Make a small river value bet with top pair, targeting calls from weaker Kx while keeping the cost modest given the ace-heavy board and my weak kicker.

Top pair gets a good price against a small river bet of 300 into 1400, needing only about 18% equity. Raising is unattractive with a weak kicker on a flush-possible board, so calling is the best option.

J3 offsuit is too weak to enter from the button, even with only the blinds to call; folding avoids putting chips into a likely multiway pot out of position relative to the blinds.

Button folded and I hold suited ace-king, so I raise to 3bb for value and initiative heads-up against the big blind.

T4o is too weak to defend against a 3x open raise from the small blind.
