Hold'em table

In 3-handed play on the button, 96o is a marginal hand. Folding is simple and costs nothing. Opening could work against tight blinds, but it is borderline offsuit trash.

A4 offsuit is strong heads-up against the big blind’s wide range, so I raise to take initiative and build the pot for value.

JTs plays well in position against a small-blind raise. Calling keeps weaker hands in and avoids inflating the pot unnecessarily.

I have top two pair on a fairly draw-heavy flop, so I’ll lead for value and deny equity to spade draws and weaker hands. A 400-chip bet is a reasonable fraction of the pot.

J-high has no pair or flush draw on this ace-high flop. Calling a substantial bet with only weak backdoor possibilities is unlikely to be profitable.

Q2 offsuit is weak, but on the button it is a reasonable steal attempt in a three-handed game. A small open raise uses our positional advantage without risking too much.

JTo is strong enough to three-bet against a button open in a three-handed game. Raising avoids playing a multiway pot out of position.

AJs is strong enough in a 3-handed pot to call the SB's 3-bet, since we'd be in position against the SB postflop and the price is reasonable. A cold 4-bet risks getting squeezed by the button's range, so calling is preferred.

Q2 offsuit is far too weak to continue against a 3-bet and a caller, even with the price offered.

Trips are strong on this draw-heavy flop. A small bet gets value from overpairs and heart draws while keeping weaker hands in.

The nut flush draw with an ace overcard has strong equity against the preflop 3-bettor's range. Calling the small bet in position keeps the pot controlled and realizes that equity, without bloating the pot against overpairs.

Trips are strong enough to value-bet against overpairs and single-heart hands. A moderate bet charges draws without committing the whole stack on a three-heart board.

The ace-high heart flush is the nut flush and is behind only rare boats such as 77 or 33, and SB's 3-betting range is heavy with overpairs, AT, and king-high flushes. A raise below all-in gets value from those hands and sets up an easy river shove.

Trips are strong enough to continue at this price, but the turn raise can represent a flush or full house. Calling preserves chips against those hands while leaving room to evaluate the river.

Trip tens have showdown value, but the turn raise represents a strong range that includes flushes and better tens. Checking avoids committing the remaining stack without seeing the opponent's river action.

We hold the nut flush, and a jam of 4000 into a 12250 pot gets called by worse flushes such as Kh or Qh hands and by overpairs. Only full houses beat us, and they would get to showdown anyway.

Trips with a jack kicker are strong enough to call a 4,000-chip shove into a 16,250-chip pot. Flushes and better tens are possible, but the price also covers worse trips and bluffs.

Q2 offsuit is too weak to open profitably from the button against two unknown blinds.

JTo is a strong hand in blind-vs-blind play, so raising to 3x from the small blind builds the pot and takes the initiative.

K♦8♦ is a reasonable heads-up big-blind defend against a small-blind open, and calling offers favorable pot odds while preserving its suited potential.

On an ace-high flop I hold a gutshot plus a backdoor flush draw, and as the preflop raiser I have the range advantage. A small c-bet of about a third of the pot can take it down now, and my draws keep equity if called.

I have only king-high on an ace-high flop and no meaningful draw. Facing a bet, continuing would require too much equity for this hand.

75o is a marginal, low-EV open from the 3-handed button with two players left to act, so folding is the disciplined choice.

With the button folded, J6 offsuit has ample equity to complete the small blind at this price. Calling keeps the pot small and avoids inflating it with a marginal hand.

Q5 offsuit is marginal against a small-blind limp. I can see the flop for free and have position after the flop.

With only jack-high and no meaningful draw on this flop, checking behind keeps the pot small and realizes my limited chance to improve.

Middle pair is likely ahead of many small-blind limps. A small bet gets value from weaker pairs and draws while keeping the pot manageable against a king.

I have no pair or meaningful draw on a coordinated flop, so calling 130 would be an unjustified investment.

On the button in a three-handed game, 7♦4♦ is a reasonable wide-range open with playability postflop. I raise to 2.5 big blinds to apply pressure while keeping the sizing modest.

A2 offsuit is weak to call out of position, but the ace blocker makes it a reasonable occasional three-bet against a button open.

64o facing an open and a 3-bet from the small blind is a clear fold; calling 850 out of position with a weak hand and an original raiser still to act is unprofitable.

7♦4♦ is too weak to continue against this substantial preflop 3-bet, even in position. Calling would risk 700 chips with poor equity and limited realization.

Eight-three offsuit is too weak to profitably open from the button against two live blinds.

42o is one of the weakest hands in the small blind, and I'd be playing out of position against the big blind. Completing or raising loses more than folding the 50-chip blind.
