Hold'em table

I have a suited connector with position, so calling to see a flop is profitable with good implied odds.

K2 offsuit is too weak to continue from the small blind in a multiway limped pot, with poor domination and reverse-implied-odds prospects.

The button limped, which usually means a capped range, and J8s plays well as a raise from the big blind for value and initiative. Raising to 4bb, with checking as a fine alternative.

Calling 300 with a suited connector in position is reasonable given the pot odds and implied odds, especially since the big blind is likely raising wide to isolate the limp.

This dry paired board favors me as the preflop raiser against a limp-caller, so a small c-bet of about a third of the pot takes it down often. It also keeps my backdoor equity with J-high.

I have a flush draw and position, and the pot odds justify a call. Raising has little fold equity here, so I'll see the turn cheaply.

I have only jack-high with no real draw, and the button called the flop bet, so they likely hold a pair or better. I'll check and give up cheaply rather than fire a low-equity second barrel.

My pair of fives is weak and I have only a few outs to improve, so checking keeps the pot small and lets me see the river for free.

J-high has almost no showdown value, and villain checking back the turn caps their range at weak pairs and ace-high. A two-thirds-pot bet can fold out much of that.

A suited ace is a strong button opening hand three-handed. Raising builds value and leverages position.

T2 offsuit from the small blind facing a button open to 3bb is too weak to play out of position with the big blind still to act, so I fold.

Calling 200 to see a flop with J9 offsuit offers good pot odds against a button open, and I can play a pot with position to be defined postflop. Folding is too weak here, while raising would likely isolate against a stronger range.

I have top pair but out of position against a preflop raiser, so I'll check to control the pot and see the turn.

A small continuation bet leverages our range advantage while Ac9c retains an overcard, gutshot to a king, and backdoor club equity when called.

I have top pair with a decent kicker on a fairly dry board. Calling keeps the pot manageable out of position and lets me reevaluate on the turn; folding would be too weak given the small bet.

With ace-high and a gutshot to the king, checking takes the free river while retaining some showdown value. A turn bluff is unlikely to fold many flop callers on this paired board.

After the checked turn, a substantial river bet can fold out missed straight draws and some weak one-pair holdings. My ace-high has little value in checking against the opponent's likely calling range.

J9o on the button in a 3-handed game is a standard open, so I'm raising to 2.5bb to take the initiative and pressure the blinds.

Q5o is too weak to continue against a button raise out of position, and calling would risk too much with poor playability. Folding saves chips for better spots.

4-6 offsuit is too weak to defend against a button open, especially out of position heads-up.

K8o is playable from the button in 3-handed action, and raising to 250 pressures the blinds while keeping position.

2d4d is far too weak to defend from the small blind versus an early 2.5bb open with the big blind still behind.

Pocket threes in the big blind against a button open of 2.5bb. Calling 150 into a 400 pot is a clear call with deep stacks for set-mining value.

Small pocket pair on a Q-high board out of position against the button raiser; I'll check and look for a cheap showdown or fold to heavy pressure.

Pocket 3s on a K-Q-9-4 board with two hearts have almost no equity against the button's range. The button's flop check was a fallback, so it tells me little, and a stab rarely gets better hands to fold. Checking controls the pot and keeps my showdown chances alive.

I have top pair with a decent kicker on a board that may have draws. Since the opponent checked twice, I'll bet for value and protection.

Pocket threes sit below every broadway card on a K-Q-9 board with a flush draw, so they have few outs and will face a hard river. Bottom of my range, so I fold to the turn bet.

K7 suited is a profitable button open in a three-handed game, leveraging position and initiative.

A8s in the small blind facing a button open in 3-handed play is a solid 3-bet candidate, and raising out of position lets us take the initiative rather than flatting with the big blind still behind. Sizing to 10bb applies pressure and can take the pot down preflop.

QJo is too weak to continue against a 3-bet out of position, so I fold and preserve chips.

K7 suited is too weak to continue profitably against a large 3-bet out of the small blind, especially at this sizing. Folding preserves the stack.

A7o is a clear open from the button in 3-handed play; a standard 2.5bb raise takes the initiative and gives us position.

Calling 200 to set-mine with pocket fours; the pot odds and deep stacks give good implied odds if I flop a set.

A6 suited has ample equity and playability closing the action at a favorable price in a multiway pot. Calling preserves its nut-flush potential without inflating the pot out of position.

I have a small pocket pair with no made hand on a coordinated flop, so checking keeps the pot small and lets me see the turn cheaply.

With ace-high and little immediate equity on this coordinated multiway board, checking preserves the option to realize our overcard and backdoor-diamond equity without inflating the pot.

As the preflop raiser on the button, a small c-bet on the K-J-3 two-club board makes sense after both opponents checked. Ace-high with the ace of spades, a backdoor club draw and a gutshot to Broadway gives me good equity and fold equity.

Ace-high has insufficient equity and no meaningful immediate draw against the continuation bet on this coordinated board. Folding preserves chips.
