Hold'em table

94o is far too weak to open from the button, even 3-handed. Folding is standard.

Pocket threes heads-up against the big blind after the button folded is ahead of a wide range; raising builds value and gains fold equity.

K8 offsuit is strong enough to defend against a small-blind opening range at this price. Calling preserves position postflop without inflating the pot with a potentially dominated king.

Bottom set on a dry rainbow J-6-3 board is very strong heads-up; bet for value to build the pot against Jx and draws.

K8 has only king-high with no meaningful draw on this rainbow flop. Facing a 75%-pot bet, there is insufficient equity and too little improvement potential to justify continuing.

Q6 suited on the button in a 3-handed game has position and flush potential, so raising pressures the blinds and builds the pot in position rather than limping.

83 offsuit is too weak to defend against a button raise from the small blind, especially with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids investing more chips with poor equity and playability.

53s is too weak out of position facing a 2.5bb open from the button.

QJo is a clear button open three-handed. Raising to 2.5 big blinds pressures the blinds while letting us play a strong, connected hand in position if called.

Holding 64s in the small blind facing an open from the button is too weak to continue out of position with the big blind still behind.

QTo has good equity against a wide button open in 3-handed play, and calling 150 into 400 gives favorable pot odds to defend the big blind.

With Q-high and only overcards on a low connected flop that favors my big-blind calling range, checking preserves pot control and lets me realize equity cheaply.

This connected, two-club flop favors the big blind’s defending range, and QJ has no meaningful draw beyond two overcards. Checking back preserves equity and avoids exposing a weak bluff to a check-raise.

Queen-high with two overcards out of position on a low coordinated board has little fold equity after the flop check; checking keeps the pot small and preserves river equity.

This connected board favors the big blind’s defending range, and Q-J has neither a meaningful draw nor useful straight blockers. Checking preserves our remaining equity without investing in a low-quality bluff.

Q-high on the paired board has only weak showdown value, but a river bluff is likely to be called by Ace/King-high and any pocket or board pair that beat me, so checking for a free showdown is best.

Q-high has little showdown value, and the big blind's repeated checks leave many ace-high, king-high, and weak-pair hands in range. A roughly two-thirds-pot bluff pressures those hands on the flush-completing river.

I only have the board pair of sevens with queen-high, which loses to any ace/king high, pair, straight, flush, or seven in the preflop raiser's range. Calling 350 needs about 28% bluffs worse than queen-high, which is unlikely after this river bet.

KJo is a solid opening hand on the button in 3-handed play; raising to 2.5x to build the pot and take the initiative in position.

Pocket eights are strong three-handed against a button open, and raising from the small blind avoids playing out of position in a three-way pot while pressuring the big blind.

83 offsuit is far too weak to continue against an open and a three-bet, with the original raiser still to act. Folding avoids investing more chips with poor equity and playability.

Getting reasonable pot odds in position with King-Jack offsuit against the small blind's 3-bet range in 3-handed play.

Pocket eights have showdown value but are below the ten on a T-7-4 board out of position in a 3-bet pot. Checking controls the pot and avoids building it against Tx, 99+ and strong draws while keeping bluffs in.

Seat 2 checked after 3-betting preflop. With two overcards and backdoor flush equity in position, checking behind to realize equity and see a free turn is standard.

With 88 on a paired turn after a checked flop, I likely have the best hand versus overcards and flush draws; a half-pot bet gets value and protection.

Holding just king-high with no draw against a preflop 3-bettor who bets half pot on the turn, folding is clear.

7-2 offsuit is the weakest starting hand; calling or raising 100 preflop from the button has negative expected value against the blinds.

Q7 suited is strong enough to open from the small blind after the button folds. Raising to 3 big blinds pressures the big blind while retaining reasonable playability when called.

Holding 9h 6c in the big blind against a 3bb open from the small blind is an easy fold due to poor playability and equity.

A9 offsuit is a clear button open three-handed. Raising to 2.5 big blinds pressures the blinds while retaining positional advantage if called.

AKo is a premium holding in the small blind facing a button open, making a 3-bet to 10bb standard for value.

J6 offsuit is far too weak to call a 3-bet to 1000 out of position from the big blind. Folding preserves the stack for better spots.

A9 offsuit is a marginal, frequently dominated hand against a small-blind 3-bet to 10 big blinds. Position and the ace blocker do not justify continuing at this price without evidence of excessive aggression.
