Hold'em table

On the button 3-handed, J8o is a reasonable open. Raising to 300 applies pressure and lets me play in position if called.

Qd 2c is a very weak unsuited hand out of position facing a 3x raise; an easy fold.

Ace-king offsuit is strong against a button opening range. Raising to 1200 builds value and applies pressure while out of position.

J8o is too weak to continue against a large big-blind three-bet, and calling 900 out of position with a dominated offsuit hand is not profitable.

Opening with a premium hand (Ace-King offsuit) on the button with a standard 2.5x raise size.

Seven-five offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

QJo is strong enough to defend the big blind against a button open, and calling keeps the pot manageable while we are out of position. Raising would commit more chips with a marginal offsuit hand.

I have QJ with no pair on a K-high flop out of position; checking keeps the pot small and lets me fold to a bet.

C-betting top pair top kicker on a wet board for value and protection against draws.

Getting over 4:1 with two overcards and backdoor flush/straight potential; calling is cheap and avoids bloating the pot with Q-high, while folding is too weak against a possible button continuation bet.

QJ high with no pair and few clean outs; checking keeps the pot small and avoids facing a raise from the button's stronger range.

We hold top pair top kicker on a paired board; betting 600 into 1050 targets value from flush draws, straight draws, and weaker kings or eights.

QJ has no pair or real draw on this K-8-6-6 board, and seat_2 has shown strength with raises preflop, flop, and turn. Calling 600 with queen-high is not profitable against that line.

On the button in a three-handed game, 9-5 suited is playable as an open. Raising gives me a chance to win the blinds or play the hand in position.

2c8c is too weak to continue out of position against a button raise, and calling 200 more with a dominated, low-suited hand is not profitable.

83s is too weak out of position to defend against a 2.5x open from the button.

I have position on the button with a speculative hand; raising applies pressure on the blinds and can take down the pot preflop or allow me to play a pot in position.

Holding 43 offsuit out of position against a button raise is an easy fold.

The folded small blind adds dead money, giving K2 offsuit enough pot odds to defend against a button open, though I will play cautiously out of position.

With bottom pair on a connected flop, I prefer to check and keep the pot small against the preflop raiser.

Opponent checked on a dry board, and my hand has no showdown value; a c-bet can fold out overcards and weaker draws while risking little relative to the pot.

Bottom pair with a king kicker can continue against a modest heads-up continuation bet. Raising would overplay the hand.

My bottom pair and open-ended straight draw have some showdown value and improvement potential. Checking avoids building the pot out of position against a range that can already contain straights.

My hand has no pair or draw, and the Q turn favors the caller's range. Checking back controls the pot and avoids bluffing into a range that can continue.

I have two pair, but the four-card straight on the board makes a value bet risky. Checking avoids building a larger pot against hands containing an ace or nine.

With 5-high and no showdown value, I'm bluffing on a board where my line can represent a rivered Broadway straight (AQ). Opponent checked turn and river, suggesting a capped range that may fold to a large river bet.

My two pair is weak on this four-card straight board. The large river bet is likely to represent a straight or a stronger value hand, and I don't expect enough bluffs to justify calling.

Opening on the button 3-handed with K7o is standard for position and stealing blind equity.

9-6 offsuit plays poorly out of position against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

Closing the action with A3o and getting 3.5:1 pot odds, calling is profitable; 3-betting a weak offsuit ace out of position would overly bloat the pot.

I have two pair (aces and threes) on a wet board with flush and straight draws. Betting for value and protection is best, as checking risks giving a free card.

I hold king-high with no draws on an ace-high board against a pot-sized lead, making this a clear fold.

Ace-eight offsuit is a strong button opening hand three-handed, so I raise to apply pressure and play in position.

Button's 2.5x open is likely wide in 3-handed, and K3s can defend for 200 with decent pot odds plus a king blocker. I'll proceed cautiously since I'm out of position.

K7 offsuit plays very poorly multiway out of position, making it an easy fold despite decent pot odds.

I have only king-high with a backdoor spade draw on a paired board and am out of position, so checking to control the pot and see the turn is best.

A small continuation bet pressures the small blind's unpaired hands while keeping the pot manageable with ace-high.

K-high with only a backdoor flush on a paired board, out of position, facing a bet; equity and realization are too poor to continue.
