Hold'em table

K4o is too weak to open profitably even on the button in 3-handed play.

Heads-up in the SB, J7s has decent equity against the BB's wide calling range, so I'll raise for fold equity and position. Folding is too weak here.

54 offsuit is too weak to defend against a 3x raise, especially out of position. I’ll avoid investing more with a dominated hand.

King-three offsuit is dominated too often and lacks playability; folding on the button for a full big blind is the cleanest play against two opponents.

J6 offsuit is weak, but with the button folded the small extra call gets me heads-up against the big blind at a favorable price.

With Q6o in the big blind facing a small blind limp, taking the free flop is the best option.

I have no pair or meaningful draw on this flop, so I’ll take the free card rather than bluff into the big blind’s range.

Betting half pot with top pair for protection against overcards and draws on a wet board.

I have no pair or meaningful draw on this two-heart flop, so calling the bet is not justified. I fold and preserve my remaining stack.

On the button in a three-handed game, J6 offsuit is playable as an open-raise; raising takes initiative and can win the blinds immediately.

Holding pocket Queens in the small blind facing a button open, raising to 1000 for value and to seize initiative out of position.

9c5c is a very weak hand facing a 10bb raise after an initial 2.5bb raise, with no fold equity incentive worth 9bb more. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

J6 offsuit is too weak to continue against a 4x three-bet, especially with the small blind still in the hand.

Opening from the button with K7o in 3-handed play to put pressure on the blinds.

K4s is too weak to continue against a raise from the button; folding preserves 150 chips and avoids playing a dominated hand out of position.

A♣T♦ is strong enough to defend the big blind against a button min-raise, and calling keeps weaker hands in while getting a favorable price.

Top pair with a strong kicker is worth continuing, but this connected flop gives the button plenty of strong value and drawing hands. I’ll check and let the preflop raiser act before deciding how to proceed.

I flopped an open-ended straight draw on a very wet board that strongly hits the big blind's range. Checking behind takes a free card and avoids facing a check-raise.

Bet for value and protection with top pair and the ace kicker, while keeping the sizing modest on this highly connected board.

With bottom pair on a four-to-a-straight board facing a turn bet, our hand has minimal equity and terrible reverse implied odds.

T2 offsuit is one of the weakest hands even from the button three-handed; with two players left to act and no fold equity established yet, folding is clearly best.

A♠K? Actually Ks Ac is a premium heads-up hand; raising to 300 builds value and applies pressure to the big blind.

K6s is a standard defend in the big blind against a small blind open, getting 2:1 direct odds with position postflop.

I have only two overcards on a connected, two-diamond board that favors the caller, so I’ll take the free card rather than c-bet into a strong range.

I hold a King-high flush draw and a gutshot straight draw in position; taking a free turn card avoids facing a check-raise on a coordinated board.

A small turn bet can fold out some unpaired hands after both players checked the flop, while keeping the pot manageable with ace-high.

I have a King-high flush draw plus a gutshot straight draw getting 4 to 1 pot odds, which makes calling very profitable.

Ace-high has some showdown value, while the turn call and river jack make a value bet unlikely to get called by worse. Check and avoid risking chips as a bluff.

We missed our flush draw and only have King-high with the pair of sevens on board. A bluff might get called by any pair or an eight, so taking our showdown is safer.

9♦2♦ is too weak to continue profitably from the button, even with the blind discount. I fold rather than invest more with poor equity and playability.

J4 offsuit is too weak to complete or raise from the small blind out of position.
