Hold'em table

Pocket sixes on the button in 3-handed play is a strong hand well ahead of blind defending ranges, so I raise for value and to take initiative.

T8s in the small blind facing a 3x button open with the big blind still to act; it's a marginal hand out of position that plays poorly, so folding is the standard choice.

98o is far too weak to call a 3x raise out of position heads-up; folding is the clear EV-maximizing play.

76 suited on the button in a 3-handed game is a standard open; raising to 2.5bb takes initiative and plays well postflop with position.

A7s plays well as a call against a 2.5x raise; I have position and can flop a strong hand or fold cheaply.

T5 offsuit is too weak to defend the big blind out of position in a three-way pot against a button raise and small blind call, despite the small additional cost.

Nut flush draw plus ace overcard heads-up; betting builds the pot with strong equity and applies fold equity.

6h7h completely whiffed a Kc Jc 8d board with no draw; facing a lead bet of 400 into 600, folding is clearly correct.

Pocket jacks on the button are strong; a standard 3x raise builds the pot and isolates.

T4 offsuit is very weak facing a 3x button raise from the small blind, with poor postflop position and the big blind still to act.

Q9o in the big blind facing a 3x button open with 200 to call into 450; getting 2.25:1 closing the action, this is a standard defend against a wide button range, and we're in position to nobody but the price justifies a call rather than fold or 3-bet.

I flopped trips with Q9 on Qc Qs Ks; checking to the preflop raiser lets them c-bet with their range so I can check-raise or call and build the pot while disguising strength.

Pocket jacks are an underpair on Q-Q-K and seat_2 checked, but betting gains little fold equity and risks a check-raise; I'll take a free card.

Trips queens on a board where villain checked back the flop; the ace turn likely hit their preflop raising range (Ax), so bet for value while denying free cards to JT/spade draws. Moderate sizing keeps worse hands calling.

I hold the Js giving a nut-flush draw (any spade makes the best flush) plus jack outs; the price is cheap relative to my equity, so calling is better than folding.

Queens full on QQKAA; I beat flushes, straights, and Kx that called the turn, and only lose to Ax. A medium value bet extracts from those worse hands while keeping the pot manageable if raised.

My Js Jh missed the board entirely; best hand is J-high while the board pairs give any A or Q a better hand. Facing a river bet, folding is clearly best.

AQs on the button in 3-handed play is a premium hand with position; raising to 3x builds the pot and isolates the blinds.

8-4 offsuit is a trash hand facing a 3x open from the button with the big blind still to act behind; folding from the small blind is clearly correct.

King-queen offsuit plays well against a 3x open heads-up; calling keeps the pot manageable with position on the raiser.

I have king-high only on an ace-high board; seat_1 raised preflop and likely has an ace. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids bloating a dominated hand.

Top pair with queen kicker on an ace-high flop after opponent checked; betting for value and protection against draws and weaker pairs.

I only have king-high on an ace board facing a flop raise from the preflop aggressor; almost no fold equity and little chance of being ahead.

4-6 offsuit on the button first to act in a 3-handed game is a weak, unconnected hand that plays poorly postflop; folding avoids losing chips with a hand outside a reasonable opening range.

82 offsuit is one of the worst hands and I'm facing a call against the big blind heads-up; folding the weak half of my SB range is the profitable play.

7-2 offsuit is the worst starting hand; folding on the button costs nothing and preserves chips.

Completing the small blind with J2 suited heads-up costs only 50 into a 150 pot, giving excellent pot odds with a suited Jack that has well over the required equity against the big blind.

Button folded and SB limped; K5s in the BB has a clear equity edge against a limping range and position disadvantage is offset by initiative. Raising isolates and often takes the pot down or builds it with a hand that plays fine.

J2 suited is weak out of position facing a 3.5x big blind raise after limping; calling 250 requires about 36% equity which this hand lacks against a raising range.
