Hold'em table

Q8 offsuit is strong enough to open on the button three-handed. A modest raise puts pressure on the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

AJo is strong in a 3-handed button-vs-SB spot, and 3-betting applies pressure while avoiding a marginal offsuit ace played out of position multiway.

Holding T6o in the big blind facing an open and a 3-bet is an easy fold.

Q8 offsuit is too weak to call a sizable three-bet, even in position.

Q7o on the button is a marginal hand, but raising applies pressure on the blinds and gains initiative with position.

Q6o is too weak to continue from the small blind against a button open.

A-T offsuit is strong enough to defend against a button open. Calling keeps the pot manageable out of position.

Ace-high has some showdown value, but this dry king-high flop favors the button's raising range. Checking avoids inflating the pot out of position.

With Q-high and no pair or strong draw on a K-high flop, checking behind controls the pot and avoids getting raised by a likely made hand.

Ace-high has some showdown value, and betting this turn is unlikely to fold out many stronger hands. Checking keeps the pot manageable.

I have Q-high with little showdown value, and my opponent has shown weakness by checking both flop and turn. A turn bet can fold out better unpaired hands and charge draws while representing the king.

The small delayed bet can include missed broadways and draws, and ace-high still has showdown value. Calling keeps those hands in without risking a large raise.

Third pair has some showdown value, but a river bet is unlikely to get called by enough worse hands on this three-club board. Checking avoids building the pot against kings and flushes.

Q-high has no showdown value; betting represents a flush or king and can fold out missed draws and ace-high hands.

The river gives me a pair of tens, and the button's checked-back flop leaves enough bluffs in their range to justify calling at this price.

Q6o is too weak and disconnected to profitably open from the button at 100bb effective depth.

With the button folded, suited connectors are strong enough to raise against the big blind rather than limp from the small blind.

6-2 offsuit is too weak to defend against a small-blind raise, especially out of position. Folding avoids further chip loss with a near-worthless hand.

T2 suited is a marginal button open against two unknown blinds. Folding avoids playing a weak, often dominated hand at 100 big blinds.

98o is a speculative hand with good implied odds. Calling 50 into 150 gives excellent pot odds to see a cheap flop, while raising would build a large pot out of position with a marginal holding.

We hold pocket deuces in the big blind facing a small blind limp, so checking to see a free flop is standard and controls the pot.

I have middle pair with a backdoor spade; a small bet can take the pot or get value from draws while risking little.

Holding pocket deuces on a Ks-Js-8h board with no significant draw or showdown value against a bet, folding is the clear optimal choice.

T4o is a weak offsuit hand with poor playability, and calling or raising from the button into two opponents is not profitable enough to justify continuing.

In a blind versus blind spot after the button folded, Q7s is strong enough to open-raise for value and initiative.

T2 offsuit is near the bottom of my range, and calling another 200 against a 3x raise is unlikely to be profitable.

J5s is too weak to profitably open from the button even in 3-handed play.

T2 offsuit is a weak hand to play out of position against the big blind, even for a small additional call.
