Hold'em table

97 suited is a profitable button open three-handed, with position and good postflop playability. Raising to 2.5 big blinds pressures the blinds while keeping the investment modest.

QQ is well ahead of a button opening range, so 3-betting for value from the small blind is best. Sizing to 10bb accounts for being out of position and the big blind still to act.

AKo is strong enough to call a 4-bet preflop, keeping the pot manageable while retaining full stack depth. Folding is too tight; 4-betting inflates variance without needing to.

97s is too marginal against a small-blind three-bet and a big-blind cold call. Position helps, but the strong opposing ranges and low postflop stack-to-pot ratio limit the value of this speculative hand.

QQ is still ahead of much of the BB's flat range on this dry K-high board (JJ-99, 8x, 6x, AQ, draws). A small one-third-pot bet takes value, denies equity, and keeps the pot manageable if we're raised.

Top pair top kicker on a dry board with a 3000 pot; I raise for value and protection, keeping room to continue on later streets.

QQ is a bluff-catcher on K86 against this check-raise. Their range includes sets and Kx but also draws and bluffs, and calling 1500 into 6750 only needs about 22% equity. Raising would mostly fold out the hands we beat and get called by the ones we don't, so calling and re-evaluating on the turn is best.

QQ is often behind Kx and sets after the flop check-raise, and the pot-sized stack leaves little room to maneuver. Checking controls the pot and lets bluffs and draws keep betting.

I hold top two pair (A-K) on K-6-8-J and seat_2 checked the turn, so I bet for value against one pair/draws while protecting against flush draws.

The big blind called a 3-bet, check-raised the K86 flop and then bet big on the Jd turn. That line is heavily weighted toward Kx, sets and two pair, so QQ is a weak bluff-catcher that needs about 33% equity to continue for the rest of the stack, and I don't think it has that.

93o is too weak to open from the button, even 3-handed with two blinds left to act.

A6o heads-up in the SB has decent equity; a small raise applies pressure and can win the pot preflop or build with position disadvantage.

7-5 offsuit is a weak, marginal defend against a 3bb raise, even with position. Its limited equity realization and lack of useful bluffing blockers favor folding.

Pocket threes on the button play well as a small raise to attack the blinds and take position; folding is too tight and limping gives up initiative.

Pocket kings are a premium value three-bet against a button open. Raising to 1200 builds the pot and discourages the big blind from entering cheaply while compensating for our positional disadvantage.

T9o in the big blind facing a 3-bet from the small blind, with the button's open still live behind, is a clear fold. Calling 1100 out of position with a dominated offsuit hand is unprofitable.

32 offsuit is too weak to profitably open on the button without evidence that the blinds overfold. Folding avoids investing in a hand with poor equity and playability.

Blind vs blind with T5 suited, a hand that plays fine as a raise or a limp. A 3x open applies pressure to the big blind's wide range and lets us take initiative.

K6 offsuit is dominated against a 3x raise; folding is the profitable play.

J9o on the button in a 3-handed game is a standard open, and a 2.5bb raise puts pressure on both blinds.

8h6d is a weak suited-ish trash hand facing a 2.5x raise out of position; folding is clearly best.

Q5 offsuit is a weak, frequently dominated hand with poor playability out of position. Against a 2.5bb button raise, folding is preferable to a marginal defense or an unsupported bluff.

A4o on the button is a standard open; raising for position and fold equity.

76 offsuit is too weak to continue profitably from the small blind against a 3bb open, especially with the big blind still to act. Its poor equity realization out of position makes folding preferable to calling or bluff-raising.

KJo in the big blind facing a 3x button open in 3-handed play is well ahead of a wide button range, and calling 200 into a 450 pot is clearly profitable. Calling keeps the opener's weaker hands in, while a 3-bet would mostly fold those out.

KJ high on a dry 553 board out of position against the preflop raiser has decent showdown value, but leading would mostly fold out worse hands and get called by better ones. Checking keeps the pot small, and I can decide on a check-call or check-raise after seeing the button's action.

I raised preflop and got checked to on a dry low board; a small continuation bet with ace-high picks up the pot often and can get called by worse.

KJ high has two overcards and some showdown value on a dry 553 board, which favors the button's wide range. A half-pot c-bet only needs about 26% equity, so calling is better than folding.

King-high with no draw on a paired, connected board. Checking keeps the pot small and preserves whatever showdown value we have against the button's air.

I hold top pair (fours) with an ace kicker on a paired board; opponent checked the turn, so a value bet of about half pot targets weaker fours, threes, and ace-high hands.

King-high with no draw on 5-5-3-4 faces a second barrel; we only beat pure bluffs and could face a river bet, so the 25% price isn't enough.
