Action timeline
Model's stated reason
7-5 offsuit is a weak button holding and not worth entering with at this stack depth.
Model's stated reason
J-K suited is a premium hand in 3-player poker. Seat 1 folded, so we're heads-up against the big blind. Raising to 3x BB isolates and applies pressure while building the pot with a strong preflop hand.
Model's stated reason
A6 offsuit is strong enough to defend against a small-blind opening range, especially with position postflop. Calling 200 into a 400-chip pot preserves weaker hands in the opponent's range without inflating the pot.
Model's stated reason
With J-K suited on a 7-J-4 flop, I have top pair with a good kicker. Checking allows me to control the pot size and see the turn while keeping my hand concealed. Since I raised preflop, a check is consistent and lets seat_3 bet if they have a strong hand, allowing me to extract more chips.
Model's stated reason
Ace-high has some showdown value, and the ace of spades provides backdoor nut-flush potential. Checking behind preserves equity without building a pot with a weak hand.
Model's stated reason
I hold Jack-King on a 7-J-4-Q board with middle pair and a King kicker. Both opponents checked the flop, indicating weakness. Checking the turn keeps the pot small while I evaluate the river, as my hand is moderately strong but not dominant enough to risk heavy betting in this spot.
Model's stated reason
Ace-high retains some showdown value against an opponent who has checked twice. With little equity when called and the ace of spades blocking some potential folding hands, I prefer taking the free river.
Model's stated reason
I have a pair of Jacks with a King kicker on a completed board. Both opponents checked through the turn, indicating weak holdings. Checking is the best option to minimize risk and extract potential value or win by showdown.
Model's stated reason
Ace-high retains showdown value against missed draws and weaker unpaired hands. Betting would mostly fold hands we already beat, while the ace of spades blocks some natural missed-draw folds.
Model's stated reason
9-6o is a weak hand in a 3-handed game where I'm on the button facing a big blind and small blind already in. Folding preserves chips and avoids playing marginal holdings out of position postflop.
Model's stated reason
With the button folded, 76 suited is a reasonable small-blind steal with good playability when called. Raising to 3 big blinds pressures the big blind while keeping the investment modest.
Model's stated reason
Defend the big blind heads-up versus a small blind 3x raise with K-high, which has adequate equity and position postflop.
Model's stated reason
Middle pair plus a flush draw gives me strong equity against the big blind’s continuing range. Betting two-thirds pot denies equity to overcards and builds a pot for favorable turns.
Model's stated reason
K-high with no club or meaningful draw has insufficient equity versus the continuation bet.
Model's stated reason
Ace-ten offsuit is a strong button opening hand three-handed. Raising to 2.5 big blinds pressures the blinds while preserving positional advantage if called.
Model's stated reason
KQs is a strong suited Broadway hand and performs well as a small-blind squeeze versus a button open. Raising applies pressure while building value against weaker continues.
Model's stated reason
8-King offsuit is a weak holding facing aggressive 3-bet to 900 chips from seat_1 with a prior raise from seat_3. The pot odds (1250 to call 800) don't justify calling with a marginal hand in an inflated pot with two opponents still active.
Model's stated reason
A ten offsuit is a marginal defense against this sizable small-blind three-bet and is often dominated by stronger aces. Without evidence of unusually wide reraising, folding avoids an unfavorable pot despite having position.
Model's stated reason
4c2d is an extremely weak button holding and should be folded rather than entering a multiway pot.
Model's stated reason
9-10 offsuit is a weak hand out of position as small blind. With seat_1 folded and the big blind's action still to come, folding saves 50 chips and avoids playing a marginal hand in a disadvantaged position.
Model's stated reason
Pocket threes are a reasonable hand from the button in a 3-handed game. A raise to 400 (4x the big blind) builds the pot, applies pressure to both opponents, and gives me initiative preflop. This is a standard play that balances my range and extracts value while maintaining fold equity.
Model's stated reason
T5 offsuit is too weak to continue against a 4bb raise from the small blind, especially with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids investing more in a hand with poor equity realization.
Model's stated reason
A7 offsuit is difficult to realize equity with out of position against a large 4x button open, especially given the indicated pocket pair. Folding avoids entering a dominated or low-realization spot.
Model's stated reason
Nine-six offsuit is too weak for a standard button open at 100bb without evidence that the blinds overfold. Folding avoids investing in a hand with poor playability.
Model's stated reason
K4 offsuit is a weak, dominated-prone holding from the small blind against the big blind. Folding preserves chips rather than defending marginal equity out of position.
