Hold'em table

92 suited is too weak to open from the button in 3-handed play at 100bb, even with the blinds to attack. Folding is standard.

T3 offsuit is too weak to complete from the small blind against the big blind.

A7 offsuit is a strong button opening hand three-handed, with an ace blocker and positional advantage. I raise to build the pot and pressure the blinds.

76o is too weak to continue out of position against a raise, so I fold and preserve chips.

Getting about 3.7:1 against a wide button open, and 63o has enough equity to defend from the big blind.

A gutshot with a backdoor flush draw, out of position against the preflop raiser, plays well as a check. I can check-raise or call depending on how big their continuation bet is.

A small continuation bet can fold out unpaired hands while leveraging our preflop initiative. The ace of spades provides some blocker value without exposing too many chips.

A gutshot to the 4 with backdoor diamonds is getting good odds against a small c-bet (200 to win 950), and there is implied value if I hit. Calling keeps the pot controlled.

I only have a weak gutshot and no pair against a button c-bet range. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me take a cheap river if villain checks behind.

Ace-high retains meaningful showdown value after the flop call, while a turn bet is unlikely to fold queens, deuces, or most pairs. Checking controls the pot and can induce a river bluff from missed draws.

We only play the board, so any ace or king beats us and lower hands merely chop. After the button checked back the turn, a medium bet can fold out the ace-high and king-high hands that beat us.

The small river bet after a checked turn can include enough missed diamond draws and other air to justify bluff-catching with ace-high at this price.

AK offsuit is a strong hand from the button, so I want to build the pot and put pressure on the blinds. A raise to 300 is a solid standard sizing while keeping room to play postflop.

62o in the small blind facing a button open to 3bb is a clear fold; the hand is too weak to call out of position or to 3-bet as a bluff.

Defend the big blind with 6-5 offsuit at a favorable price against a likely wide button opening range. Its connectivity gives sufficient implied-odds potential heads-up.

With no pair and little immediate equity on an ace-paired flop, checking preserves the option to respond to the preflop raiser's action without inflating the pot.

I have trips with a strong kicker on a paired board, so I bet for value to build the pot and extract chips from weaker hands.

I have an open-ended straight draw with 5-6-7 and favorable immediate pot odds. Calling preserves flexibility against the button's flop continuation bet.

With only a weak straight draw and little showdown value on this paired board, I will take the free card rather than bluff into the preflop raiser.

I have top trips with a strong kicker on a paired board, so I should bet for value against a caller who may hold a queen or a pocket pair.

Fold; 6-high has no made value on this paired ace board and only a very thin river straight possibility.

AKo on the button in 3-handed play is a premium hand; a standard open to 2.5bb builds the pot and keeps weaker hands in.

A4 suited has a strong ace blocker and good playability as a small-blind three-bet bluff versus the button open.

T3o is far too weak to call a big reraise out of position, and the action may be reopened by the original raiser. Folding preserves chips.

AKo facing an SB 3-bet in a 3-handed game is strong enough to 4-bet for value and to deny equity, while keeping stacks deep enough to fold to a shove if needed. A 4-bet to 2000 is about 2.5x the 3-bet.

A4 suited is a strong blocker bluff candidate facing the small 4-bet, blocking premium ace holdings while retaining reasonable equity when called. Shoving maximizes fold equity rather than calling out of position with a low SPR.

I need to put in 8000 to win a final pot of 20100, so I need about 40% equity. AKo has roughly that or better against a 5-bet jam range that includes AA-QQ, AK and some bluffs.

Raise the button with an ace-high hand to pressure the blinds and retain initiative.

5-9 offsuit is too weak to continue against a preflop raise, especially out of position. Folding saves the extra chips rather than chasing a marginal hand.

A8o in the big blind against a 2.5x button open is a clear defend with 150 to call into a 400 pot, and calling keeps the button's weaker hands in. Three-betting is possible, but A8o dominates less well when called, so a flat call is the standard play.

A8o with only a backdoor straight draw and ace overcard on a K-Q-7 board favors the button raiser's range, so check to the preflop aggressor and see how they act.

Small continuation bet leverages the range advantage on this high-card board while retaining the nut-club blocker. It can fold out some unpaired hands cheaply.

Getting nearly 4:1 against a small c-bet, ace-high with a backdoor Broadway draw and some showdown value is a sufficient defend.

I only have a gutshot to the nut straight plus ace-high, and I'm out of position against a button c-bettor. Checking lets me see the river cheaply rather than bloating the pot with a weak draw.

I have the nut-club draw plus a gutshot to Broadway, and the turn check gives me a strong opportunity to apply pressure. A substantial bet can fold weaker one-pair hands while retaining strong equity when called.

The nut flush draw plus a gutshot gives about 13 clean outs, roughly 28%, against a required 29% equity. Implied odds and a possible ace make calling profitable.

My ace-high rarely wins at showdown, and the club river fits my check-call line well. A lead can credibly represent a flush and fold out many one-pair hands from the button.

I hold the nut flush with Ac on a three-club board. The opponent’s river lead after calling two streets strongly suggests a made flush or other strong hand that can pay a maximum value raise.

My river bet was a bluff with only ace-high. A jam over it is heavily weighted toward flushes, straights and strong made hands, so calling 7300 to win about 20000 needs roughly 36% equity, which I don't have.

J9o is a solid blind-vs-blind hand, and raising to 3bb from the small blind takes the initiative and wins the pot often. It's a standard open in SB vs BB after the button folded.

Heads-up from the big blind, Ah3d is strong enough to apply pressure against a small-blind opening range. A 3-bet to 900 targets folds while retaining initiative.

J9o out of position against a 3x 3-bet from the big blind is too weak to continue profitably; calling 600 into 1800 leaves us dominated too often and playing without the initiative.
