Hold'em table

Three-handed on the button, K3o is a reasonable steal hand given the wide opening ranges. A small 2.5bb raise pressures both blinds.

J♣2♣ is too weak to continue from the small blind against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

AQ offsuit is strong against a button opening range. I’m reraising from the big blind to build the pot and avoid playing a small pot out of position.

K3o is too weak to continue against a large big-blind 3-bet. Calling 800 to win a 2150 pot needs about 37% equity, and this hand plays poorly out of position against a strong range.

6♦3♠ is a very weak offsuit hand, and calling from the button would put in a full big blind with poor prospects. Fold rather than enter the pot.

AJs is a strong heads-up hand against the big blind, so I raise for value despite being out of position.

A4o in the big blind against a small-blind 3x open is a clear defend at 2:1 pot odds, and we have position. Calling keeps their weaker hands in, while A4o plays fine as a mix of calling and 3-betting.

A small continuation bet applies pressure to the big blind’s weaker hands while keeping the pot manageable with two overcards and a backdoor flush draw.

Getting 4:1 against a small c-bet from a wide SB range, ace-high with an overcard and backdoor potential has enough equity to continue.

Ace-high has some showdown value, but the turn adds a spade draw and my hand has little to improve with. I’ll check rather than build the pot.

SB checked the turn after c-betting the flop, which signals weakness. We hold the nut flush draw, a wheel gutshot and an ace overcard, so a semi-bluff bet of about 65% pot gives fold equity plus strong equity when called.

Ace-high has little chance to improve on this turn, and calling 650 out of position against the bet is unlikely to be profitable.

J8 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.

A6s from the SB against a wide button open is a good 3-bet candidate: the ace blocks strong hands and it plays well when called, and 3-betting avoids a bloated multiway pot out of position.

T♣J♣ is playable against the button’s open, but the small blind’s oversized 3-bet makes the call costly and leaves the button to act behind. Fold rather than continue with a dominated hand at poor odds.

J8 offsuit is too weak to continue against a large three-bet, even with position.

AJo is a strong button open in 3-handed play, so I'm raising to 2.5bb for value and position.

J5 offsuit is a weak holding from the small blind, and calling a sizable button open out of position is not worthwhile.

8-3 offsuit plays poorly out of position against a button raise, so I’ll save the remaining 150 chips.

With the button and no raise to face, calling the remaining blind is inexpensive and keeps a wide positional range; raising this weak offsuit hand is less appealing.

A8 offsuit is strong enough to raise against a button limp. Raising to 450 puts pressure on the limper and gives the big blind a less attractive price to continue.

A4o is well above average in a 3-handed game, and we get decent pot odds against a wide SB iso-raise over a limp. We also have position on the SB postflop, so calling beats folding, and a 3-bet risks isolating ourselves against stronger ranges.

2♥5♣ is a very weak offsuit hand, and calling the raise would put in 350 more chips out of position to a multiway pot.

With ace-high and little chance to improve on this dry king-high flop, I prefer to check rather than build a pot against the big blind's calling range.

In position after the preflop raiser checked, bottom pair with an ace kicker has decent showdown value. A small bet of about a third of the pot takes value from worse hands and denies equity to overcards.

The small flop bet gives A-high a reasonable price to continue. I can reassess on the turn rather than raise with little immediate equity.

Ace-high has some showdown value and a gutshot, but the turn favors the caller’s range. Checking avoids building a large pot with a weak hand.

Low pair with a wheel draw, ace outs, and a backdoor-flush-type draw. A semi-bluff can fold out better underpairs while building the pot for my outs.

Ace-high with a gutshot lacks the equity to call this turn bet against a range that often includes a king or better.

K2 offsuit is a reasonable button open in three-handed play. A modest raise uses position while limiting the cost with a marginal hand.

94 offsuit in the small blind facing a button open, with the big blind still to act behind, is a clear fold. It plays poorly out of position.

QJo is a solid defend against a button open, and calling the additional 150 chips gets favorable pot odds while avoiding an unnecessary 3-bet out of position.

I have only queen-high with limited backdoor potential, so checking keeps the pot small and lets the preflop raiser act.

The ace-high paired flop favors my preflop raising range. A small continuation bet can fold out hands with reasonable equity while limiting my risk.

Q-J high has no pair or useful draw on this ace-high paired flop, so continuing against the bet is unlikely to be profitable.
