Hold'em table

Pocket jacks are strong three-handed. Raising from the button builds the pot and keeps the blinds from seeing a cheap flop.

2d4s is a very weak offsuit hand out of position facing a 350 raise from the button, with a 300 call needed and poor playability, so folding is correct.}Ah, I must correct: the output must be valid JSON.{

85o is too weak to continue against a button open after the small blind folds, so I fold rather than call 250.

Suited 5-9 on the button in a 3-handed pot is a playable speculative hand, and calling the 100-chip big blind is cheap with position.

AKs is a premium hand and the button only limped, so I raise to 450 to build the pot and take the initiative before the flop.

Pocket tens are strong against a small-blind isolation raise and a button limp. A three-bet builds value and makes it harder for the button to enter cheaply.

Five-nine suited is weak, and calling 1450 into a 2100 pot against a re-raise from seat_1 needs more equity than this hand has.

AKs is strong enough to 4-bet for value against the BB's 3-bet and take the initiative heads-up. A raise to 4500 builds the pot without committing the stack preflop.

The large four-bet after my three-bet represents a strong range. Pocket tens are likely behind too often to commit most of my stack.

36o is too weak to open from the button into two live blinds, so folding is the highest-EV line.

KTo is a strong heads-up hand against the big blind. Raising to 300 builds value and gives me the chance to win the pot preflop.

I'm getting about 3-to-1 on a 200-chip call heads-up after the button folded, which is enough to continue with J4 offsuit from the big blind.

Top pair is likely ahead of the big blind’s calling range. A half-pot bet gets value from weaker pairs and charges hands drawing to a spade.

I have a pair of jacks on a king-high board, which is strong enough to continue, and calling 300 into a 1200 pot is a good price against a flop bet. I'll call and reassess on later streets rather than raise.

Top pair with a flush draw and a gutshot is strong enough to bet for value and charge weaker pairs and draws.

I have top pair of jacks with a weak kicker against a visible three-spade board, and 600 to call into a 1800 pot is about 25% pot odds, so calling keeps me in against a bet that could be bluff-heavy or value-heavy.

Top two pair can get a call from weaker kings and other two-pair hands. A small river bet seeks value while limiting exposure to straights and flushes.

Facing a 700 river bet into a 2400 pot, I need about 18% equity, and a pair of jacks with a king on the board is enough to continue against a fairly wide, bluff-capable range.

8-3 offsuit is too weak to open from the button against two active blinds.

8-5 offsuit is one of the weakest hands in hold'em, and calling 50 more from the small blind into a 100 big blind isn't worth it, so folding is the disciplined play.

King-jack offsuit is a strong button hand with good playability, so I raise to isolate and build the pot preflop.

Q2 offsuit is too weak to continue against a button open; folding avoids a dominated, poorly playing hand out of position.

The folded small blind adds dead money, and 97o has enough playability to defend the big blind against a button raise without building a larger pot out of position.

With middle pair against the preflop raiser, I prefer to check and evaluate their bet rather than lead into a stronger range.

As the preflop aggressor I'm in position against a checking big blind, and this dry board with a king-high spade draw gives me a profitable semi-bluff at about 60% pot.

A small continuation bet from a button raiser can represent a wide range. My middle pair has enough showdown value to call once.

My pair of sevens has some improvement potential, but it is too weak to value-bet into the preflop raiser. I’ll check and reassess if they bet.

I have King-high with no made pair or strong draw, and checking keeps the pot small while seat_1 has shown strength by calling the flop.

My pair of sevens has some showdown value, but a river bet is unlikely to get called by many worse hands. Checking also leaves room for a missed draw to bluff.

I have king-high with no pair on a paired-free board, and seat_1 called the flop and has shown some strength, so a bluff risks more than it gains. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me take a showdown if seat_1 checks behind.

A3o is playable as a button open in three-handed poker; a small raise takes the initiative and can fold out worse hands.

6-3 suited is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

Facing a 150-chip call into a 400-chip pot from the big blind with T-Q offsuit, the pot odds justify calling against a button raise rather than folding.

I hold a four-card spade flush draw with a free check available, so I take the free card rather than bloat the pot out of position.

I have ace-high plus a weak spade draw and position after a check, so a small semi-bluff can fold out better ace-highs and some pairs while still having equity when called.

I have Q-T high with no pair and only one spade against a three-spade board, so I have roughly 10-15% equity and need about 17% to call 200 into 750. Folding is the correct play.
