Hold'em table

JTs is a strong button hand in a three-handed game, so I’ll raise for value and initiative.

J5 offsuit is far too weak to call a 3x raise out of position against two opponents. Folding and preserving chips is clearly optimal here.

72 suited is too weak to defend out of position against a 3x button open.

Eight-three offsuit from the button is far too weak to play even for a single blind; folding preserves chips with no fold equity worth exploiting here.

63s is too weak to complete or raise profitably out of position from the small blind.

T3s is too weak to open even on the button in 3-handed play.

Complete the small blind for 50 chips with a weak hand, taking a favorable price against the big blind without building a pot out of position.

7-3 offsuit is far too weak to raise for value or credible bluff, but checking from the big blind costs nothing and lets me see a free flop in position heads-up before deciding.

I have a weak pair with little need to build the pot, so I’ll take the free card and keep the pot small.

I hold 7-3 high with no draw on a Qc-high board; with no equity and a checked-to-me spot, checking keeps the pot small and avoids bluffing into a limper who may have a queen.

I have only a weak pair and no strong draw, so I’ll take the free turn card rather than build the pot.

Both players checked the flop and turn, so seat_1 has shown weakness; a small stab at the 200-chip pot with air is cheap and often wins immediately, and I can fold if raised.

I have a set of fours and should raise for value while charging club draws and straight-draw hands. A raise to 700 is substantial without overcommitting against a possible stronger hand.

I hold 7-high with no pair, no draw, and no showdown value on this board; calling 500 into a 1100 pot against a raise-and-reraise line would just burn chips.

J7 suited is playable on the button, and raising lets me take initiative while using my positional advantage.

J8s is too weak to defend out of position against a button raise in 3-max; it's dominated by strong ranges and plays poorly postflop. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

Q2o is too weak to defend out of position against a button open.

King-three offsuit is far too weak to play from the button against two blinds in a 3-handed game; folding preserves chips for better spots.

In a blind-versus-blind spot after the button folds, A7o is ahead of the big blind's holding range and makes for a standard open raise.

A♠Q♦ is a strong blind-versus-blind hand that can profitably 3-bet for value and take initiative out of position. Raising to 1000 applies pressure while leaving plenty of room to play postflop.

A7o is too weak to continue against a 3-bet from the big blind, especially being out of position.

Q7o is slightly too weak to open profitably from the button even in 3-handed play.

J♥4♥ has enough suited potential to complete from the small blind at a favorable price, but it is not strong enough to raise for value.

J2o is very weak, but checking is free against the small blind's limp; folding would surrender the pot with no cost to see a flop.

I have only jack-high on a dry board, with limited backdoor equity. Checking keeps the pot small and preserves the chance to see a free turn.

J-high with no draw on a T-high board; seat_1 checked, so taking a free card is best. I can fold to aggression or value-bet later if I improve.

I have only jack-high with no meaningful draw, so betting risks chips with little equity. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me see the river for free.

I hold J-high only with no draw on a coordinated board; seat_1 has shown no aggression, so checking keeps the pot small and avoids building it with a weak hand.

With no showdown value, I’ll make a small river bluff after the opponent checked back both earlier streets. This sizing risks little while pressuring weak hands that may have given up.

I hold bottom pair (board threes, J kicker) and only need to call 100 into a 300 pot. The SB's limped-check-check-small-bet line looks like a missed club draw bluff or thin value I beat, so the cheap call is profitable.
