Hold'em table

JTo is a clear open from the button in 3-handed play, so I'm raising to 2.5bb. It's a standard open size.

KQs is a strong three-handed holding and benefits from applying pressure out of position while building value against the button's opening range.

With 9h As, I have only a backdoor flush draw and no pair; calling 800 to see a flop is too expensive for such weak equity, so folding is the best play.

Three-handed, the small blind's 3-bet range is wide. JTo plays well in position with 100bb stacks, and I only need about 34% equity to call, so calling is reasonable.

Bet for value and protection with top pair plus a gutshot on this coordinated board. A moderate sizing targets weaker kings, jacks, and draws while retaining flexibility.

Second pair facing a small c-bet (only about 20% equity needed) on a K-high board where SB's 3-bet range c-bets wide. Calling keeps their bluffs in and controls the pot.

I have top pair with a strong kicker and should value-bet while charging heart draws and weaker one-pair holdings. A moderate sizing keeps worse hands and draws in.

The small turn bet lays about 4.7:1. Our jack-ten still beats TT, 99, AQ and the bluffs in a 3-bet range, so calling is better than folding. Raising would only fold out worse hands.

With one-pair kings on a paired, four-heart board, checking controls the pot and realizes showdown value. A river bet is likely called mainly by stronger kings, flushes, or trips.

Second pair has showdown value against a 3-bettor who gave up on the river. A bet would mostly get called by better hands like Kx or overpairs and fold out worse, so I check.

A-Q offsuit is a strong button opening hand three-handed. I raise to 2.5bb to build value and apply pressure to the blinds.

Jc6s is a weak hand that doesn't play well out of position, and facing a raise to 250 with only 200 to call is not profitable. Folding preserves my stack for better spots.

QJs in the big blind facing a 2.5bb button open in 3-handed play is an easy defend. Calling 150 into a pot of 400 gives great odds, and the hand plays well postflop; it could also be a 3-bet, but a flat keeps the button's wide range in.

Queen-high with only a gutshot (needs a ten) and a backdoor diamond draw, out of position on an ace-high board that favors the button's opening range. Checking keeps the pot small, and I can decide how to continue after seeing the button's action.

Top pair with a strong kicker is well ahead of the opponent's preflop calling range. I value-bet modestly on this relatively connected board.

QJ high on an ace-high board facing a two-thirds-pot c-bet has weak equity and poor playability. A backdoor flush draw alone doesn't justify calling out of position.

3c 8h is a weak offsuit hand on the button facing a 100 big blind raise; folding avoids losing chips with poor equity.

Blind vs blind with suited 52, a small raise or a limp are both reasonable. Raising to 3bb applies fold equity, and the suited wheel card plays fine postflop.

With A-K suited heads-up against a small-blind open, I 3-bet for value and to deny equity while keeping weaker hands in range.

52s is out of position against a big blind 3-bet to 10bb, and calling 700 into 1300 with a weak hand isn't profitable. Folding.

J5o is a marginal, offsuit, weak-kicker hand that sits at the bottom of a 3-handed button opening range. Folding avoids playing out of position against two blinds with a dominated holding.

9-4 offsuit is too weak to complete from the small blind against the big blind.

J2 offsuit is a weak button hand in a three-handed game and does not merit entering without prior action.

8s5h is a weak hand with no pair and poor post-flop playability. Facing a raise to 100 with only 50 to call, folding minimizes losses with this speculative hand.

I have Ad high card with backdoor flush potential; calling 100 to see a flop is reasonable given the pot odds and my position on the button.

T6o in the small blind facing a button limp: completing for 50 into a 250 pot gives good odds, and the hand is too weak to raise profitably.

Check the big blind with weak K2 offsuit rather than inflate a multiway pot.

Second pair in a limped three-way pot on a draw-heavy board; a half-pot bet gets thin value from weaker tens, fives, and draws, and denies equity to overcards.

K-high with a deuce has no made hand or meaningful draw on this coordinated board, and facing a multiway flop bet is not worth continuing.

Calling 150 into a 450 pot gives 3:1 odds; my backdoor flush draw and overcard justify a speculative call against a single opponent.

Second pair with a weak kicker, out of position against a flop caller whose range is full of Jx, better Tx and draws. Checking controls the pot and lets me bluff-catch a reasonable bet.

Board is paired with a flush draw and backdoor straight possibilities; my hand is weak and pot odds don't justify a bluff. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a hand I likely can't win.

Second pair with a weak kicker has showdown value, but a bet gets called mostly by better hands while missed draws fold. Checking keeps the pot small and lets the river go to showdown.

The board is a rainbow low straight draw with no obvious made hand; my Qs gives backdoor flush potential but no pair. With the opponent checked twice on turn and river, checking back is the highest-EV play to realize equity without risking chips on a bluff.
