Hold'em table

On the button in a 3-handed game, T7o is a reasonable steal/raise candidate to apply pressure on the blinds and take the initiative with position.

I have a pocket pair of fives, which is a playable hand. I'll raise to 600 to build the pot and put pressure on the raiser, as this is a standard continuation raise size.

AQs is strong enough to continue and I am getting good pot odds to call the small three-bet, so I will keep the pot manageable and play postflop.

Closing the action with 5:1 pot odds and position, T7o is weak but cheap enough to see a flop. Raising would overcommit with a dominated offsuit hand.

I have a set of fives on a 3-3-8 flop, which is a strong but vulnerable hand. Checking allows me to control the pot size and potentially induce bluffs from the other players.

We have a nut flush draw and overcards on a paired board. Betting semi-bluff to take the pot or build it if we hit, while in position to control the action.

I have only ten-high with no pair or strong draw on a paired flop, and seat_3's raise into two players represents strength. Folding avoids risking more chips with a weak hand.

I have a pocket pair that hit a set on the flop, giving me a strong hand. I'll make a minimum raise to keep the pot controlled and potentially get value from weaker hands.

Calling the big blind with Ah5h is reasonable given the low cost and potential to see a flop. I'll keep the pot small and play positionally on later streets.

Weak offsuit hand out of position with a limper and big blind already in. Folding is the disciplined play to avoid investing more with a marginal hand.

I have pocket aces and only the button limped in, so I want to raise for value and build the pot. A raise to 500 applies pressure while still inviting calls from worse hands.

Calling 400 to see a flop with Ah5h is reasonable given the pot odds and my position on the button; I'll continue if the board cooperates.

I have an overpair on a dry-ish flop and should bet for value/protection against button's calling range. A 750 bet into 1050 builds the pot while denying equity to straight draws and smaller pairs.

I have a weak Ace-high with a backdoor flush draw, and seat_1 has shown significant strength with a large raise on the flop. The pot odds do not justify continuing with this hand.

A4o is strong enough to open from the button, and raising to 2.5bb puts pressure on the blinds while keeping the pot manageable in position.

T3o is too weak to continue out of position against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids playing a dominated, low-equity hand.

With Td9h, I have a weak suited connector that is unlikely to hold up against a 2.5bb raise. The pot odds don't justify calling 150 into 400, so folding preserves my stack.

On the button with a king-high hand, raising applies pressure on the blinds and uses position to take the initiative.

3s Qh is a weak offsuit hand that does not play well out of position. Facing a raise to 300 with only 50 invested, folding minimizes losses with a hand that has poor preflop equity.

T6o is a weak offsuit hand out of position against a 3x button raise, so continuing would be marginal at best. Folding avoids putting more chips in with a dominated hand.

Calling the big blind with 3c Td on the button is reasonable; I'm getting good pot odds and can play the hand postflop in position.

Calling 50 more gives excellent pot odds with a playable though weak hand, and avoids bloating the pot out of position with J7o.

With 8c3h in the big blind and no call required, checking is best; the hand is too weak to raise into two limpers.

Betting small with middle pair to protect against straight draws and get value from worse hands; folding to a raise.

I have no pair and no meaningful draw on an ace-high flop, and the small blind's bet leaves me with poor equity against two opponents. Folding avoids investing more chips with 8-high.

My hand (3c Td) has no direct connection to the flop and is dominated by seat_3's raise. With seat_1 already folded, folding avoids further loss to a likely strong range.

AK is a strong hand and I have position on the button, so I raise to build the pot and put pressure on the blinds.

5h6s is a weak offsuit hand out of position facing a button raise, and calling 250 more with the big blind still to act is not profitable.

Calling 200 to see a flop with QTs is reasonable given the opponent's 300 raise, allowing me to play positionally without overcommitting preflop.

I have Q-T on a Jh-2h-5d flop with no pair and no clear draw. The button raised preflop and I called, so checking back keeps the pot small and avoids building a big pot with a weak hand. I'll control the pot and reassess on the turn.

C-bet the flop with overcards to apply pressure and take down the pot, folding to a check-raise if needed.

Calling 300 to see a turn with a straight draw on a wet board is reasonable; I can improve to a straight or hit a ten for a pair.

I have a weak top pair with a ten kicker on a board with two hearts and an eight, giving me limited showdown value. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a bigger pot with a marginal hand against a player who has already shown aggression on the flop.

Checking behind on the turn keeps the pot small with only Ace-high; the third heart is dangerous and my opponent called a flop raise, so bluffing here has poor risk/reward.

Board is paired with two hearts; my Q-T gives a straight but is vulnerable to flushes and full houses. Checking lets me realize equity without risking more chips when opponent may hold a better hand.
