Hold'em table

A6 suited-ish? Actually offsuit, but an ace on the button in 3-handed play is strong enough to open for a raise to 3bb to take initiative and fold out the blinds.

2-T offsuit is a weak hand that plays poorly out of position in a 3-way pot against a raiser and the big blind. With 250 chips to call into a 450-chip pot and poor equity, folding preserves chips for better opportunities.

64o out of position against a 3x button open is a marginal, low-equity defend. It plays poorly postflop, so folding is the cleaner choice.

Pocket sixes is a reasonable hand from the button. Raising to 600 (6BB) isolates the small blind and gives us favorable odds against the big blind. This build pot advantage with a hand that has decent playability in position.

A9s plays well as a 3-bet from the SB in a 3-handed game: the ace blocker and suited playability give it fold equity, and it avoids playing a bloated pot out of position with the big blind still to act. I'm sizing to about 3.2x the large open.

KJo in the big blind facing a button open and a small blind 3-bet to 1900, with the button still to act, needs to call 1800 for a 2600 pot. It is dominated often and plays poorly out of position in a three-way pot, so folding is best.

Pocket sixes is a modest hand facing a 3-bet to 1900 chips. With seat_3 showing significant strength and only a small pair, folding preserves stack and avoids a marginal spot OOP against a likely stronger range.

Pocket kings on the button, first to act; a standard 2.5bb open builds the pot while keeping weaker hands in.

A6o is a marginal hand in the small blind facing a button open to 250. The call costs 200 with decent pot odds, and the BB still has to act behind me. Calling avoids bloating the pot out of position with a weak ace.

9s6s is a weak hand in a 3-way pot where I'm out of position after two opponents have already invested significantly. Folding preserves chips when equity is poor.

Top pair with an ace on a dry-ish flop, out of position against a button who opened. Betting about two-thirds of the pot gets value from worse aces and draws and denies equity.

KK with the Kh on an ace-high board that has a flush draw facing an SB donk bet of 400 into 600. Calling keeps their bluffs and draws in and controls the pot against Ax; raising mostly folds out worse and gets called by better.

Top pair with ace on a 9-A-3-8 board, heads-up and out of position. I raised the flop and the opponent called, so I'm betting about half the pot for value and to charge flush and straight draws.

KK is a bluff-catcher on the ace-high board against a SB donk-betting flop and turn; calling keeps the pot controlled and their bluffs and draws in, and raising would mostly get called by better hands. Pot odds are 700 into 2800 (25%), so it's an easy call.

I have top pair with a 6 on a 9-A-3-8-4 board, and the 6 gives me a straight draw that missed. Seat 3 only called the flop and turn, so they likely hold a medium-strength hand or a draw. I'm out of position and first to act. A bet of about 1000 into 2800 gets value from worse aces and pairs like 9x or 8x. I could check instead, but betting is better because the opponent's calling range is wide.}

The river bet is small: I need to call 1000 to win 4800, so I only need about 21% equity. The small sizings on all three streets suggest some weaker hands and blocking bets, so KK is a clear bluff-catch. Raising would only get called by aces or better.

5-3 offsuit is a weak hand; folding on the button against two players who still have to act behind is the safest choice.

3-4 offsuit is a very weak hand in 3-player poker. With seat_1 already folded, folding costs only 50 chips rather than risking more money against the big blind (seat_3) in a weak position with a poor holding.

8-J offsuit is a weak hand in early position. Even on the button, calling 100 chips with marginal holdings invites difficult post-flop decisions against two opponents. Folding preserves chips for stronger opportunities.

In a blind-vs-blind spot, J7o is a standard open from the small blind, so I'm raising to 3bb to take the initiative rather than limping.

K4o is a marginal hand, but I'm in the big blind getting 2:1 against a 3x raise from the small blind, whose range is wide. Calling 200 into a 400 pot is justified, and I get a flop with a king-high hand.

Top pair with a weak kicker, out of position on a wet board. A small continuation bet gets value from worse jacks and draws and denies equity to overcards, while keeping the pot manageable.

King-high with a backdoor flush draw has some equity and the price is good: 250 to call into a 850 pot. Raising would only get called or reraised by better hands, so I'll call and re-evaluate.

Second pair with a weak kicker on a K turn out of position plays best as a check for pot control. Betting gets called mainly by better Jx or draws.

Top pair with a weak kicker, in position against a check. A half-pot bet gets value from worse kings and jacks and denies equity to draws, and the opponent's small flop bet followed by a check suggests weakness.

Second pair with a weak kicker, but a half-pot bet only needs about 25% equity, and villain's stab range includes draws and weaker pairs. Calling keeps their bluffs in without bloating the pot.

Second pair with a weak kicker has showdown value but is unlikely to get called by worse hands if I bet. Checking keeps the pot controlled and lets missed diamond draws bluff.

Top pair with a weak kicker is likely best against a checking range that includes Jx and 8x. A small bet of about a third of the pot gets value from worse pairs without risking much.

Getting roughly 4.1:1 on a small river bet, I need to win only about 19% of the time. My second pair of jacks beats missed diamond draws, weaker pairs and stabs often enough to call.

A7 suited on the button in 3-handed play is a clear open-raise; 2.5bb is a standard size.

3-6 offsuit is a very weak hand out of position against a button raise with the big blind still to act, so folding is best.

7-9 offsuit is a weak hand. Seat 3 raised to 250 from the button, and calling 150 more puts me in a marginal spot with poor hand strength. Folding preserves chips and avoids playing a difficult hand out of position.
