Hold'em table

With 4-2 offsuit on the button, the hand is too weak to profitably enter against two live blinds at this stack depth.

Blind vs blind with Q5o is a reasonable open from the SB; raising to 3bb applies fold equity and avoids playing a weak hand out of position in a limped pot.

A-T offsuit is strong enough to defend the big blind against a small-blind open, and calling keeps weaker hands in while avoiding an unnecessary 3-bet out of position.

Middle pair with a decent kicker on a wet board. A small c-bet gets thin value and denies equity to overcards and draws while keeping the pot manageable out of position.

A-ten has useful overcard equity, and the small bet offers favorable pot odds. I’ll call rather than inflate the pot with a weak hand.

Middle pair with a queen kicker has showdown value but gets called mostly by better hands and draws, so I'll check to control the pot. The turn 9 also gives the flop-caller's range more improvements.

With only ace-high and no strong draw, betting into the preflop raiser’s turn check risks too much. I’ll take the free river card and retain some showdown value.

A pair of fives on a board where the flush and straights completed is weak showdown value. Betting would fold out worse hands and get called by better ones, so checking is the better play.

Ace-high has some showdown value against missed draws, but the three-heart, connected board is unfavorable for a bluff and can still contain many hands that beat me. I’ll take the free showdown.

62o is too weak to open from the button in 3-handed play with both blinds left to act; folding costs nothing.

Complete the small blind for 50 chips, getting favorable pot odds heads-up against the big blind. 8-5 offsuit is weak, but the low-cost call is preferable to folding.

A2 offsuit is ahead of many small-blind limping hands. Raising in position builds the pot when I likely have the better hand.

8♣5♥ offsuit is too weak to continue out of position against a substantial preflop raise; calling would needlessly commit more chips.

Raise to 3 big blinds with pocket queens to build the pot and take initiative while keeping weaker hands in the range.

Ace-king offsuit is strong enough to three-bet against a button open. Raising to 1200 applies pressure and reduces the chance of playing a multiway pot out of position.

62o facing an open and a 3-bet from the small blind is a clear fold. Calling 1100 with trash is too costly, and the button can still act behind.

QQ is strong enough to continue, and calling keeps the pot manageable in position against this unusually large 3-bet. A 4-bet risks building a huge pot against a range that may be quite strong.

Top pair with the best kicker is strong in this three-bet pot. A modest bet gets value from weaker kings and draws while protecting against the spade draw.

The small flop bet gives favorable pot odds, and pocket queens still beat many bluffs and lower pairs. Calling keeps the pot manageable while I assess the turn.

Trip kings with an ace kicker are strong here. A substantial bet gets value from weaker kings and charges flush draws.

The turn barrel is large on a king-paired board after a 3-bet pot, and QQ is now only a bluff-catcher against a range weighted toward Kx and overpairs. The pot odds are not enough to justify continuing against that value-heavy line.

On the button, 7-4 suited is playable as a marginal open. A 2.5 big blind raise gives me initiative and position.

52o from the small blind facing a button open with the big blind still to act is a clear fold; it's too weak to call out of position or to 3-bet as a bluff.

Q6 offsuit is marginal but has enough equity against a button’s wide opening range to defend from the big blind at these pot odds. I’ll call and avoid inflating the pot out of position.

Check with queen-high; this paired flop has no meaningful draw for me, and preserving showdown value is preferable to bluffing into the preflop raiser.

A small continuation bet can fold out unpaired hands while keeping the cost low. I also have a gutshot and backdoor heart draw if called.

The small flop bet offers favorable pot odds, and Q-high retains some showdown value against bluffs with backdoor improvement possibilities. Calling is preferable to raising with no made hand.

I have a useful straight draw but no made hand, and the paired, connected board is likely to connect with the caller’s range. I’ll take the free card rather than build the pot as a bluff.

My pair of fours has some showdown value but is too weak to build a larger pot after the flop call. Checking keeps the pot manageable and lets me see the river.

I have only queen-high and little credible value, while checking preserves a chance to win against missed draws without risking a river bluff into a board that may have improved the opener.

My weak pair has showdown value against missed draws and unpaired hands, but a bet is unlikely to get called by many worse hands.

In 3-handed play, K2o on the button is a standard open-raise because only the two blinds are left to act. A small raise to 2.5bb steals often and keeps the pot manageable when called.

9♦5♥ is a weak offsuit hand, and calling the raise from the small blind would invite the big blind in while leaving me out of position. Fold and preserve the chips.

QTs is strong enough to defend the big blind against a button raise, but it plays well as a call rather than building a large pot out of position.

With a gutshot and two overcards to the jack, this hand has some equity, but the ace-high flop favors the preflop raiser. Checking avoids building a pot out of position.

The A-high board favors the preflop raiser, and the K blocker plus backdoor potential make a small c-bet profitable against the big blind's check. A third-pot bet should get enough folds. (Chat is off, so no message.)

The small flop bet gives my gutshot straight draw and possible pair outs a reasonable price to continue.

I have a Broadway straight on a board with three spades. Betting for value charges pairs and single-spade draws while keeping the pot manageable against a possible flush.

The turn completed the flush and several broadway straights, and the big blind led out after only check-calling the flop. K2 with a weak kicker is behind most of that betting range and has few outs, so the 29% equity needed to call isn't there.

Q3 offsuit is weak, but on the button in a three-handed game it can be opened as a steal. A small raise applies pressure while preserving positional advantage.

8-2 offsuit is too weak to defend the small blind against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

The price is good: I call 150 into a 400 pot, so I need about 27% equity. T3s has enough equity and playability against a wide 3-handed button open to defend from the big blind.

We have T-high with a backdoor spade draw on a paired, dry board where the button's range has the advantage, so checking to the raiser is standard. We can look to check-raise or float on later streets.

Q-high has some showdown value, and this dry paired flop gives me little equity when called. I’ll take the free card rather than turn it into a low-equity bluff.

The button checked back the flop, which caps its range with a lot of weak hands. With ten-high and almost no showdown value, a turn probe of about half the pot can take the pot down often.

I have only queen-high with no meaningful draw, and calling 300 into the turn bet is unlikely to be profitable.
