Hold'em table

85 offsuit is a weak button hand in a three-handed game and does not warrant entering for a full blind.

Queen-jack offsuit is a playable hand in a three-way pot, and completing the small blind for 50 is cheap with position considerations, so I'll call rather than raise.

With A2o in the big blind and no call required, checking keeps the pot small and lets me see a flop in position against the small blind's limp.

I have Q-J high with a backdoor-ish straight draw on a T-4-K board and the action is free, so checking to see the next card is the sensible play.

Seat 2 checked on a dry-ish king-high flop; a small stab with ace-high and a backdoor diamond draw can take the pot, and I can fold to further aggression.

I have an open-ended straight draw with Q-J and K-T on board, about 8 outs to a straight. Calling 100 into a 300 pot gives me roughly 25% pot odds, which my draw beats.

I have only a Q-J straight draw against a board with no pair, so I'll check to see the turn action and keep the pot manageable.

I have a weak pair of twos and the opponent has shown resistance; checking controls the pot and avoids getting raised off my marginal showdown value.

I have only high-card King with Q-J and no straight, and I can check for free on the river, so checking avoids putting more chips in without a made hand.

Bottom pair with ace kicker has some showdown value, but opponent called the flop raise and checked turn/river; checking controls the pot and avoids value-cutting myself against stronger pairs.

AQ is a strong hand in a 3-handed pot, so raising builds the pot and takes initiative from the blinds.

ATo has good equity against a button open, but 3-betting out of position deep risks bloating the pot with a potentially dominated hand. Calling keeps the pot controlled and allows the big blind to come along with worse.

Q3 suited is too weak to defend versus a button raise and small-blind call, especially out of position in a multiway pot.

Check with ace-high on a low connected board; no need to bloat the pot out of position against the button raiser.

I hold the nut flush draw (Ah is the ace of hearts, with two hearts on board) plus overcards, and seat_3's check suggests weakness. A half-pot semi-bluff takes the pot now or gets a strong equity boost on the turn.

Getting 4:1 with A-high and overcards; opponent's small flop bet could be a draw or weak pair, so I'll call to see the turn and fold to further aggression if I don't improve.

I have ace-high with no pair or strong draw on this turn, so checking keeps the pot controlled and lets me evaluate further aggression before committing more chips.

I have ace-high with a four-heart flush draw and no made hand, and the pot is 1400 with no bet to call. Checking keeps the pot controlled and lets me see a free river card.

I have ace-high with no pair; checking keeps the pot small and lets me evaluate a bet, while betting risks being called by any pair.

I hold only ace-high on a paired-free board with no made hand, and seat_3 has shown weakness by checking the turn and river, so checking keeps the pot small and wins if they check behind.

T8s on the button with a small blind call and big blind already in; calling 100 to close the action with position and a decent suited connector is fine, and raising risks bloating the pot with a marginal hand.

K7 suited is strong enough to isolate a button limp and can benefit from taking initiative despite being out of position.

Q8 offsuit is weak and facing a 5x raise needs about 36% equity to call, which this hand does not have against a raising range, so folding is the disciplined play.

T8s has good playability in position, and calling 400 into a 700 pot with deep stacks is reasonable.

A small continuation bet leverages my preflop initiative on this low board while risking little with two overcards and some showdown value.

I have a flush draw with two overcards and position, and the bet is small relative to the pot. Calling keeps my range wide and lets me realize equity on the turn.

The turn gives me trip kings and the prior flop call leaves many draws and weaker made hands that can continue. I size for value while retaining action from heart draws and pairs.

Facing a turn bet of 1100 into 2900 with only a ten-high flush draw and no pair, pot odds are insufficient; opponent's raise preflop and continued betting indicate a strong hand.

A2 offsuit is a profitable button open three-handed, leveraging position and ace blocker. I use a standard 2.5bb opening size.

K2 suited is a weak holding out of position as the small blind against a button raise, and calling 200 into a 3-way pot needs about 33% equity, which this hand doesn't reach.

7-3 offsuit is too weak to defend against a button raise out of position, so I fold and preserve chips.

A6 offsuit on the button has good playability and blind-stealing equity against two short blinds, so I'll raise rather than limp.

KK is a premium hand; 3-betting for value and to isolate the button raiser.

7-5 offsuit is too weak to continue facing a button open and small-blind 3-bet from the big blind.

A6 offsuit facing a 3-bet from the small blind for 600 more is a clear fold; it needs about 32% equity against a fairly strong range, which it doesn't have.

T3o is too weak to call a raise from the blinds, even on the button. Folding avoids playing a dominated hand out of position postflop.

With A-K suited heads-up in the blinds, I raise for value and to build the pot while retaining postflop initiative.

Deuce-eight offsuit is a weak hand, and facing a 200-chip raise from the small blind with only 1/3 pot-odds-equivalent equity is not worth continuing.
