Hold'em table

2-5 offsuit is too weak to profitably enter from the button at this stack depth.

With the button folded, A5 offsuit is strong enough to raise against the big blind. Raising to 300 builds value while keeping the pot manageable out of position.

QJs in position against a wide small-blind open is strong enough to 3-bet for value and pressure, and we keep position postflop. A call is also fine, but a 3-bet to 10bb takes the initiative.

A5 offsuit plays poorly out of position against a large three-bet, and calling risks costly dominated top-pair situations.

K7 offsuit is strong enough to open on the button three-handed. A 2.5-big-blind raise puts pressure on the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

J8o from the small blind facing a button open, with the big blind still left to act, is a clear fold. Calling out of position with a dominated offsuit hand loses money.

J6 offsuit is too weak to defend profitably against a button raise at this sizing.

T8s on the button in 3-handed play is a clear open-raise; 2.5bb puts pressure on both blinds.

J2 suited is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button raise, especially out of position with the big blind still behind.

J8 suited is strong enough to defend the big blind against a button raise to 2.5 big blinds, especially with 150 to call into a 400-chip pot.

Out of position with jack-high and only backdoor draws, I prefer to check rather than build the pot.

Top pair with a backdoor straight draw on a wet board, and the big blind checked to us, so a bet of roughly 2/3 pot is for value and protection.. Their calling range includes plenty of worse tens, draws and pocket pairs.. The raise_to 350 sets that bet.

J-high has no flush draw or immediate straight draw, and this bet is too large to continue profitably.

7-3 offsuit is a very weak button opening hand in this structure, so folding avoids investing chips with poor equity and playability.

With the button folded, 9♣4♣ is playable heads-up for the extra 50 chips, but too weak to build a large pot out of position.

The small blind limped and I have 62 suited in the big blind, which is too weak to raise for value. Checking takes a free flop in position.

Top pair can get value from draws and weaker pairs, but the coordinated board and weak kicker favor a modest bet.

Middle pair is getting 350:150 against a wide limping range, so I only need about 30% equity. My hand has showdown value and should call rather than fold or turn it into a raise.

The turn puts four cards to a straight on the board, making my top pair with a weak kicker too vulnerable to value-bet. I’ll check and keep the pot manageable.

Middle pair on a four-to-a-straight board has only marginal showdown value and would rarely get worse hands to call, so I'll check back and take a free river..

Trip nines can get value from weaker pairs on this checked-through turn. A small river bet limits the cost when the opponent has a straight or a stronger nine.

We have a weak two pair (nines and sixes, since the board pairs nines), and the board makes any 5 or T a straight. Still, calling 200 to win 700 only needs about 22% equity, and a small river bet from a limper will include plenty of worse hands and bluffs, so we call rather than raise.

Seven-three offsuit is too weak to open from the button, even three-handed.

Blind vs blind with J6o after a button fold, which is within a reasonable SB opening range. A 3x raise pressures the BB's wide range and avoids playing a weak hand out of position in a limped pot.

8-high offsuit is far too weak to defend against a small-blind raise heads-up.

62o is one of the weakest starting hands and isn't worth playing from the button against two blinds at 100bb deep.

QsTc is a strong enough heads-up blind-versus-blind hand to raise for value and initiative. A 3bb total raise applies pressure while retaining manageable risk.

K3 offsuit has enough equity to defend the big blind against a small-blind raise to 300, especially with position after the flop.

A small continuation bet applies pressure to unpaired overcards and denies equity while keeping the risk modest on this coordinated low board.

Middle pair is strong enough to continue against a small flop bet. Raising would risk building a large pot with a vulnerable hand.

The board already plays as a straight for both players, while a bet mainly risks action from a hand containing a six. Checking preserves our equity and avoids inflating a likely split pot.

My pair of threes has some showdown value, but this connected board favors many hands that would call a bet. I’ll check and reassess on the river.

My Q-T only plays the board's wheel straight. Checking secures a likely split pot without risking chips against a hand containing a 6.

The board gives both players a wheel, and my cards cannot improve it. Checking preserves the likely split without risking chips against a six.
