Hold'em table

JTs is a strong, playable button opening hand in three-handed play. Raising to 3bb applies pressure and builds a pot with good equity and position.

Q8s has decent playability and good pot odds; calling avoids inflating the pot out of position while keeping the big blind's range wide.

3-6 offsuit is too weak to continue against a raise and a call, so folding is the highest-EV option.

Our hand has no showdown value, but the board is paired and semi-coordinated; a continuation bet can represent a 6 or an overpair and may fold out Button's missed broadways.

J-high has very little equity on this paired, two-spade board against a flop lead in a heads-up raised pot. Folding avoids continuing with no made hand or credible draw.

74o is a very weak hand, even on the button in a 3-max game. Folding preserves my stack and avoids risking chips with a hand that rarely wins.

Button folded, so A8o plays well heads-up against the big blind. A small raise builds the pot and takes the initiative rather than just completing.

Pocket threes are strong enough to defend the big blind heads-up against a small blind 3x raise, especially with position postflop.

Ace-high with no pair or draw has some showdown value, and this low connected flop hits a lot of the big blind's calling range, so I check rather than bet into it.

I have bottom set on a coordinated board and should build the pot while charging diamond and straight draws. A medium continuation bet targets overpairs and one-pair holdings.

Ace-high with no pair and no draw on 7-3-6 is too weak to call a 450 flop bet. Folding preserves chips against a range that often has a pair or better.

T4o is too weak to open or call from the button; folding avoids playing a dominated, poorly connected offsuit hand.

With 3-2 offsuit in the small blind facing the big blind, the hand is too weak to continue profitably.

Open-raise the button with a suited, connected-ish hand that has positional playability and can win the blinds.

Q2 suited is a weak hand and playing out of position against a button raise is unprofitable long-term; folding preserves my stack.

Pocket sixes have enough equity and implied odds against a single button raise to continue; calling keeps the pot manageable and lets me realize set value postflop.

I flopped a set of sixes and want value from king-x and spade draws. A 400 bet into 550 builds the pot without overplaying the hand.

I have a pair with position and am getting reasonable pot odds against a potentially wide blind-defense donk range. Calling preserves flexibility to evaluate the turn rather than inflating the pot with a marginal hand.

I have a set of sixes on a board with a king and a flush draw, so I bet about two-thirds pot for value and protection rather than give a free card.

We have a strong two-pair hand and attractive pot odds against a range that can include one-pair hands and draws. Calling keeps weaker holdings and bluffs in while avoiding unnecessary exposure to made flushes.

I have sixes full of kings on the river and want value from flushes and worse full houses. A pot-fraction bet keeps worse hands in without overcommitting against the few kings and nines that beat me.

We have kings and nines, which beats missed spade draws and many value-thin hands. The pot odds justify a call despite the paired king making trips a concern.

With position on the button and a speculative hand like T8o, calling the big blind is cheap and allows me to see a flop while keeping the pot small.

K7 suited has enough equity to complete for 50 into 250, and raising out of position with a often-dominated king would bloat the pot.

K2 suited is not strong enough to inflate a multiway pot from the big blind after two limps. Checking realizes equity for free.

King-high with only a backdoor club draw on a paired board is too weak to lead into two opponents, so I take the free check.

With only king-high on a paired, coordinated flop in a three-way limped pot, checking preserves equity and avoids bluffing into players who can easily have a pair or trips.

Both opponents checked, showing weakness. I can bluff with T8o on this paired board to take down the 300 pot. If called, I have no showdown value and will likely give up.

King-high with no pair and no real draw on a paired board is too weak to continue against a flop stab. Folding saves the 150 and avoids building a pot with air.

The button's small limp-pot stab can contain many unpaired overcards and air, and K-high has sufficient showdown value to continue at this price.

Checking keeps seat_2's flop-stabbing range engaged and can induce another bluff or thin value bet. Our trip sixes with a king kicker are strong enough to comfortably continue versus a turn bet.

We have trips with a ten kicker, which is decent but vulnerable. The board is paired, and our opponent called the flop bet. Checking back on the turn keeps the pot small, gives us a free card to possibly improve to a full house on the river, and maintains our positional advantage to make a decision after seeing the opponent's river action.

With trip sixes and a king kicker, checking realizes showdown value. Betting is unlikely to fold better ace or full-house holdings and mainly risks a check-raise.

We have trip sixes with a Ten kicker, opponent checked the river after calling a small flop bet and checking the turn, indicating weakness. A value bet of 300 into 60 can extract value from an Ace or smaller pairs.

The small river bet offers 3:1, and king kicker is a reasonable bluff-catcher on this paired board against missed stabs and weaker trip-six holdings.

Q5 offsuit is too weak to open from the button even three-handed; folding avoids a dominated, poorly connected hand out of position postflop.

7-2 offsuit is too weak to complete from the small blind against the big blind.
