Q7o on the button in a 3-handed pot has reasonable playability and a cheap price of 100 into 150, so I'll limp rather than fold or inflate the pot out of position later.Chat is off, so no message.}

9-3 is one of the weakest hands in poker. With only 50 chips to call (facing a 50 chip investment already as small blind), folding is the correct play to preserve chips against two opponents who have shown engagement by betting.

Q4 suited can see a free flop but is too weak for a routine isolation raise out of position. Checking preserves its suited potential without inflating the pot.

Middle pair has showdown value but is too weak to build a large pot out of position on this connected, two-club board. Checking keeps weaker hands in and lets me reassess against a bet.

I have top pair (sevens) on a dry, low board, heads-up and in position after the big blind checked. A small bet of about 60% of the pot gets value from worse pairs and draws and denies equity to overcards.

Middle pair with a queen kicker is strong enough to defend against a single bet in this heads-up limped pot. Calling keeps weaker hands and draws in the opponent's range without inflating the pot.

Our fours have showdown value, but betting is unlikely to get value from many worse hands or fold out better ones. Checking keeps the pot controlled and allows the opponent to continue with bluffs and draws.

I have trips sevens with a queen kicker on a 4-3-7-7 board. Seat 3 checked twice, which suggests weakness, so I'll bet about two-thirds of the pot for value and to charge draws.

Calling requires 28% equity, and our pair of fours remains ahead of numerous straight draws, flush draws, and unpaired bluffs. Holding no clubs or hearts leaves those bluffs unblocked; raising would mostly isolate us against stronger hands.

Our weak two pair has some showdown value against missed club draws, but a bet is unlikely to get called by worse. Checking keeps the pot controlled on a river that completes hearts and several straights.

Trip sevens is strong here, and the opponent's check-calling range is full of weaker pairs and draws that can call. I bet about 56% of the pot for value.

Our sevens and fours are only a weak bluff-catcher against three consecutive bets, especially with flushes and straights available. Calling requires about 26% equity, and there is insufficient reason to expect that many bluffs.

6-9 offsuit is a weak hand in early position (button). With small blind and big blind already committed, folding minimizes losses from a poor starting hand without strong implied odds.

A5 suited is a strong blind-versus-blind opening hand with an ace blocker and nut-flush potential. Raising to 3bb pressures the big blind and builds a pot with a hand that plays well postflop.

K3o in the big blind facing a 3x raise from the small blind in a 3-handed game. The SB's range is wide, and the pot odds are good at 200 to win 400, so calling is reasonable. A 3-bet with this hand would be too loose.

A small continuation bet pressures unpaired hands on this dry board while leveraging my preflop range advantage. My gutshot, ace overcard, and backdoor nut-flush draw provide equity when called.

Bottom pair of threes with a king kicker on a dry 3-2-9 board. The pot offers 4-to-1 on the call, and a small SB continuation bet is likely often a bluff, so calling is better than folding or raising.

The turn gives us showdown value plus a gutshot, but betting is unlikely to extract much value from worse hands. Checking controls the pot and keeps weaker hands and bluffs in our opponent's range.

I have a pair of threes with a king kicker on a 3-2-9-5 board. Seat_3 checked the turn after betting the flop, which suggests weakness, so a small bet should get value from worse pairs and fold out overcards and draws.

Second pair with an ace kicker and a wheel gutshot is strong enough to continue against this 40%-pot bet in a blind-versus-blind pot. Calling preserves showdown value against bluffs and weaker pairs without inflating the pot against stronger hands.

Our pair of fives has showdown value, but betting is unlikely to get called by many worse hands. Checking keeps the pot controlled and lets missed draws bluff.

I hold a pair of kings, the top pair on a 3-2-9-5-K board, and seat_3 checked the river after calling my turn bet. A modest value bet of 500 should get called by weaker kings and middling pairs, and it risks little against a check-call line.

Calling needs only about 18% equity, making this pair a reasonable bluff-catcher against missed hearts and other draws. Holding no hearts leaves those bluffs available, while the ace and five block some strong value combinations.

K7 offsuit is strong enough to open on the button three-handed. Raising to 2.5 big blinds can win the blinds immediately while preserving our positional advantage if called.

2-3 offsuit is the weakest starting hand, and calling 200 more out of position against a button raise with a big blind still to act has poor value, so I fold.

Holding QQ (premium pair), I'm raising to 800 to build the pot and apply pressure on seat_3's early position raise. This isolates the remaining opponent and maximizes value from my strong hand.

K7 offsuit is too weak to defend against this three-bet, even in position, because it is often dominated and realizes equity poorly. Without evidence of excessive three-betting, folding is preferable to calling or bluff-raising.

AJs on the button in a 3-handed game is a strong hand, so a 3x raise builds the pot with position and puts pressure on both blinds.

Ad-Td is a strong hand in 3-handed poker. Seat 1's raise to 300 is aggressive, but I have position advantage as small blind with a premium holding. A significant 3-bet to 1000 builds the pot favorably and applies pressure while keeping my stack intact relative to the effective stacks.

K6 suited is too weak to cold-call a 10bb three-bet with the original raiser still to act. Its domination risk and poor equity realization make folding preferable to calling or bluffing.

AJs on the button facing a small blind 3-bet to 10bb is a comfortable call with position and good playability. The big blind has folded, so we play heads-up in position, and a 4-bet bluff isn't needed.

With Ad-Td on a 9-6-6 flop, I have a weak hand (ace-high with no flush draw). Checking keeps the pot small and allows me to evaluate seat_1's action. If they bet, I can reassess; if they check, I can see the turn cheaply. Given my marginal holding and the 2100-chip pot, aggressive action is not justified.

I have ace-high with a backdoor flush draw on a paired 9-6-6 board, and the opponent checked after 3-betting preflop. A small bet of about a third of the pot (700 into 2100) can take the pot now or get called by weaker hands. I'm in position, so I can fold if they check-raise.

Ad-Td is a weak hand on a flop of 9h-6s-6d. Opponent's preflop aggression and flop raise suggest a stronger hand. With two pair or better from them highly likely and our hand unlikely to improve, folding preserves chips in an unfavorable situation.

6-2 offsuit is one of the weakest hands in poker. Even from the button, folding is correct against two opponents, as the hand has poor showdown value and will be dominated in most situations.

Q2 suited is worth completing for 50 chips into a 150-chip pot against the big blind. Limping preserves its suited equity without building a large pot out of position with a weak kicker.

3-7 offsuit is a weak hand, so I take the free flop from the big blind rather than bluff-raising against a small blind who has only limped.

With queen-high and no immediate draw, there is little reason to build the pot out of position. Checking preserves some showdown value and lets us reassess against the big blind's action.

I have 7-high on a J-J-K board, which is nothing at showdown. Seat 3 checked, so I take the free card instead of betting. A small bluff is possible, but checking is simpler and costs nothing.

Queen-high retains some showdown value against the big blind's wide range, but there is little value in betting and no strong draw to support a bluff. Checking keeps the pot small and preserves the option to reassess against a bet.

I have 7-high on a J-J-K-5 board, which is a pure air hand with little showdown value. Seat 3 checked twice, so a bluff might work, but checking is the safer choice and may let me see a free river.

Our queen kicker has some showdown value against missed draws and lower unpaired hands. Checking preserves that value without risking chips on a bluff that mainly folds worse hands.

I have 7-high with a pair of jacks on board, which is almost no showdown value. Seat_3 checked every street, so they're weak, but I'm unlikely to get called by worse and would only lose to better; a check is the safest play.

KJs is a strong button open three-handed. Raising to 2.5 big blinds builds value with a playable suited hand while pressuring the blinds.

6h8c offsuit is weak out of position against a button raise with the big blind still to act, so folding to avoid a marginal spot is best.

3-To is a weak hand with poor playability. Facing a 250 chip raise to 150 more after seat_1 folded, the risk-reward ratio is unfavorable. Folding preserves chips for better opportunities.
