Hold'em table

Q3 suited on the button in a 3-handed game is a reasonable open-raise; stealing the blinds with position is profitable and the hand plays fine postflop with suitedness.

95s out of the small blind facing a 2.5x button open, with the big blind still to act, is a clear fold: we'd be out of position and could get squeezed.

I'm getting about 2.7-to-1 pot odds to call 150 into a 400 pot heads-up from the big blind against a button raise, so defending with this weak hand is reasonable.

I have Jack-high with no pair on an Ace-Queen-four board, so I have little showdown value. Checking is free and keeps the pot small.

Second pair on a two-tone ace-high board as the preflop raiser in position; a small bet denies equity to flush draws and gets value from worse pairs/draws while keeping the pot manageable.

I hold J-5 with only ace-high on an A-Q-4 rainbow-ish board, with no pair and no real draw, so calling 200 into a 750 pot is not justified against a flop raise from the preflop aggressor.

Q5 suited on the button in a 3-handed game is a standard open; raise to 2.5bb to steal the blinds.

Ace-nine offsuit is a playable hand facing a button raise to 250 with only 200 to call from the small blind, so calling keeps me in with good playability and avoids bloating the pot out of position.

ATo in the big blind facing a button min-ish open and a small blind flat; squeezing isolates weak ranges, picks up dead money, and I have position disadvantage postflop so building the pot with fold equity is better than a passive call.

Q5s facing a BB squeeze to 9bb with the SB still to act behind is a clear fold; calling 650 into 1400 out of position against a strong range isn't profitable.

Ace-nine offsuit is weak against a 900 reraise from the big blind, and calling 650 into a 1400 pot needs more equity than this hand has against a likely strong range.

K9 offsuit is a playable button hand in 3-handed play, and calling the 100-chip price keeps the pot manageable without committing extra chips preflop.

Q8o in the small blind facing a button limp: completing for 50 into a 250 pot gives great odds to see a flop in a 3-handed game, and raising with this marginal hand out of position isn't attractive.

96o is a weak hand to raise out of position into two limpers, so I'll take the free flop and play from there.

Q8 offsuit missed the 2-3-T flop entirely; out of position in a limped 3-way pot, checking is standard with queen-high and no draw.

Nine-high with a gutshot (needs a 7 for 6-7-8-9-T? No, only backdoor straight potential) on a dry board in a limped three-way pot; checking keeps the pot small, and a bluff into two opponents has a low chance of success.

I have only king-high with no pair or strong draw on a 2-3-T board, and both opponents checked, so checking for a free showdown is the best option.

Q8 offsuit has nothing on A-T-3-2 with queen-high; checked around on the flop so a small stab is possible, but out of position against two players a bluff is marginal. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me realize equity cheaply.

Nine-high with no real draw. The ace likely hits limping ranges, and a bluff into two opponents has thin fold equity, so I check and keep the option of a river stab.

I hold K-high with no pair against a board showing an ace and a ten, so a check keeps the pot small and avoids bloating it with a weak hand.

Q-high on a paired-aces board beats almost nothing that would call; a bluff needs both opponents to fold and I'm out of position, so check and take a free showdown.

Nine-high has almost no showdown value. Both opponents have checked every street, which caps their ranges, so a small bet of 200 into 300 representing the river ace needs only about 40% folds to profit.

Our K-high holds the board pair of aces as the best hand against most non-ace holdings, and calling 200 into a 500 pot needs only about 29% equity, which seems reasonable against a possibly bluffing river bet.

Q-high with no pair beyond the board aces; facing a river bet and a call from two opponents, I lose to any pair, any ace, king, or better queen kicker, so even at 22% pot odds I rarely beat both hands.

Q7 offsuit on the button in a 3-handed game is marginal; it's playable as a steal but easily dominated, and folding avoids a weak spot out of position vs the blinds' 3-bet potential. Folding is a reasonable tight line.

Q9o is a solid raising hand in a blind-vs-blind spot after the button folds, so I raise to 3bb to take the initiative.

Six-four offsuit is a weak hand to play out of the big blind against a raise, and the price of 200 to call doesn't justify the continued risk.

K8o on the button 3-handed is a standard open; raise to 2.5bb to steal the blinds.

9-5 offsuit is a weak hand out of position against a button raise to 250, so folding the small blind loses only 50 chips and avoids a costly, unprofitable call.

Q2 offsuit is a weak, dominated hand out of position against a button open; folding avoids a bad spot even with decent pot odds.

Queen-seven suited is a playable button hand in a 3-handed game, and calling the 100-chip completion keeps the pot small while I see a flop cheaply.

9-2 offsuit is a trash hand out of position in the small blind; even at 5:1 odds completing leads to poor postflop spots against two opponents, so folding is the cleanest play.

Q4s in the big blind facing a button limp; checking to see a free flop keeps the pot small while out of position with a marginal hand.

Q-high with no club in a limped pot on a monotone board; it has little equity and is a poor bluff candidate since I don't block clubs. Checking keeps the pot small.

I hold a pair of sevens with a queen kicker on a three-club board, which is a medium-strength hand. Checking is free and keeps the pot small behind a player who has already checked.

Four clubs on board and we hold no club; our pair of fours has little value and is easily beaten, so we check to keep the pot small.

I hold a pair of sevens with a possible straight draw, but the four-club board makes flush risk real and the opponent's checks suggest weakness only mildly. Checking keeps the pot controlled and avoids bloating it with a marginal hand.

My two pair is mostly the board's pair of sevens plus a four, so it has modest showdown value on a four-flush board. Few worse hands would call a bet, while clubs, sixes and sevens beat me, so I check.

I hold a pair of sevens, likely the best hand on this board, and the opponent has checked every street, so a small value bet should get called by weaker hands.

We have two pair (sevens and fours) with a queen kicker and only need about 25% equity against a tiny river bet. Many of the opponent's checked-down hands lose to us, so calling is clearly profitable despite the four-club board.
