Hold'em table

3-7 offsuit is one of the weakest hands. Out of position postflop against two players, it is not worth calling 100 from the button.

In a blind-versus-blind situation, KcQc is a premium holding that warrants an open raise for value and initiative.

JTo is strong enough to defend against a small-blind raise, and calling keeps weaker hands in while I play in position postflop.

C-betting one-third pot on a paired, dry board where we have the range advantage with strong overcards and backdoor equity.

Top pair with a medium kicker is strong enough to continue against a small flop bet, but raising would risk isolating against stronger hands. Calling keeps weaker hands and bluffs in the pot.

After being called on the flop c-bet, the turn 3h is a blank. Checking to control the pot with six river outs and potential showdown value.

Top pair can get value from weaker pairs and draws after the small flop bet and turn check. A half-pot bet also protects against free river cards.

I have king-high with no draw on a paired board after my flop c-bet was called. Calling a half-pot bet on the turn offers insufficient equity.

J7s is a playable suited one-gapper from the button in 3-handed play; raising 2.5bb to steal or play in position.

A5 offsuit blocks strong ace hands, making it a reasonable three-bet against a button open. Raising also avoids playing a weak ace out of position in a multiway pot.

5h4c is a weak hand facing a button open and a large small-blind 3-bet, and calling 900 more out of position against two ranges is unprofitable, so I fold.

J7s opened from the button, but facing a 4x 3-bet to 10bb from the small blind, it is an easy fold.

Pocket eights are strong three-handed, and a 2.5 big blind button raise builds value while keeping the pot manageable.

T6 offsuit is a weak hand out of position against a button open and a big blind still to act, so folding is best rather than paying 200 more.

32o is the weakest possible starting hand and cannot profitably defend out of position against a button open.

4d3d is a weak suited connector; on the button in 3-handed play it could be a marginal call, but folding avoids a speculative spot out of position postflop against two opponents with no reads.

Attacking the big blind blind-versus-blind after the button folds with an Ace blocker.

Q7 offsuit has enough equity to defend the big blind against a small-blind raise, and I’ll have position after the flop.

As the preflop aggressor on an A-K-3 dry board, a small 1/3 pot continuation bet allows us to extract value and maintain range advantage with top pair.

Q7 offsuit has little equity on this A-K-3 flop and no strong draw. Calling the bet is unlikely to be profitable.

76 offsuit is too weak to open profitably from the button even in 3-handed play, so folding is the standard play.

Completing costs 50 chips to see a flop heads-up. With a weak hand out of position, I prefer the inexpensive call to raising.

5d9h is a weak offsuit hand, so I take the free flop from the big blind instead of raising against a limping small blind.

I have no pair or meaningful draw on this flop, so I’ll check and avoid investing more chips.

Middle pair (nines) on a K-T-9 board heads-up after the small blind checked; a small bet gets value from worse pairs and draws and protects against overcards. Chat is off, so no message.

With 4-high and no meaningful draw on this flop, calling the bet is unlikely to be profitable.

T2 offsuit is too weak to open from the button against two opponents with deep stacks.

Q4 offsuit in the small blind heads-up against the big blind, getting 3-to-1 pot odds (50 to win 150). Completing is cheap and the hand has reasonable equity, so calling beats folding or bloating the pot out of position.

Holding pocket sevens in position versus a small blind limp, raising to 3.5 big blinds extracts value and builds the pot with initiative.

Q4o is a weak hand facing a 3.5x raise from the big blind, and I would be out of position. Calling 250 to win 450 is not worth it, since the hand plays poorly postflop.
