Hold'em table

QJo is a clear open from the button in 3-handed play. A 2.5bb raise-first-in puts pressure on both blinds.

7-5 offsuit plays poorly out of position against a button raise, with the big blind still to act.

4-2 offsuit is far too weak to defend against a button raise heads-up.

Pocket kings are a premium hand, so I’m opening for value from the button.

K9 suited is a strong enough blind-versus-button candidate to 3-bet, leveraging its king blocker and suited playability. Raising also reduces the chance of realizing equity multiway from the small blind.

Q8o is far too weak to call a 12bb 3-bet from the small blind with the button opener still left to act behind. Folding the big blind is clearly correct.

Pocket kings are strong enough to four-bet for value against the small blind's three-bet. Raising to 2800 keeps weaker hands in while building the pot.

K9 suited is too weak to continue against a button 4-bet after facing this preflop action, especially out of position.

Pocket queens are a premium opening hand on the button. I raise for value and to narrow the field.

J9o out of position in the small blind facing a 3x button open with the big blind still to act is a weak spot; folding is standard.

Seven-six suited plays well against a button opening range. Calling 200 closes the action preflop and gives a reasonable price to see the flop.

With a weak draw on a paired, two-heart flop, I prefer checking to the preflop raiser rather than building the pot out of position.

Betting the overpair for value while charging heart draws and weaker pocket pairs. The paired board warrants a moderate sizing rather than inflating the pot excessively.

The gutshot and backdoor club draw give me enough potential to continue against this relatively small flop bet.

I have an open-ended straight draw but no made hand on a paired, three-heart board. Checking keeps the pot controlled and lets me assess the opponent’s turn action.

We have a queen-high flush on this paired board and should value-bet against worse flushes, trips, and sticky pairs. A two-thirds-pot sizing builds value while retaining calls from those hands.

The open-ended straight draw is unlikely to have enough equity to call 900 on the turn, especially with a third heart and a paired board. Raising would be a costly bluff against a second barrel.

Three-handed on the button, Q2s is a standard open in a wide stealing range. A 2.5bb raise applies pressure to both blinds.

Pocket sevens play well against a button opening range. Calling keeps weaker hands in and avoids building a large pot out of position.

J5 offsuit is too weak to defend against an open and a caller out of position in a three-way pot.

I have a middle pair and a gutshot on a draw-heavy board. Checking out of position lets me control the pot and respond to the preflop raiser's action.

We have a flush draw with an overcard, in position against a check, so a small c-bet gives us fold equity while keeping our equity if called. Betting 250 into 600 sets that up cheaply.",

My pair of sevens and gutshot have enough equity to call this small flop bet. Raising would risk building a large pot against stronger made hands.

My pair of sevens has some showdown value and can improve, but the king on the turn makes a value bet unlikely to be called by worse hands. Checking keeps the pot manageable.

The king turn favors my preflop-raiser range, and I hold a flush draw. That makes this a good semi-bluff barrel: it has fold equity, and I have about 9 outs if called.

Pocket sevens have only a gutshot and limited showdown value on this turn. Calling 700 out of position against a second barrel is unlikely to be profitable.

Q3 offsuit is too weak to open profitably from the button against two players at 100bb.

Complete from the small blind with a suited-connected-style 87 offsuit-equivalent hand against the big blind; it has enough playability heads-up.

QTs is well ahead of a small blind limping range, so I raise for value and initiative while I'm in position. Sizing to 4x keeps it simple.

Defend the small blind against the big blind's modest isolation raise with a suited-equivalent connected hand at a favorable price.

This board strongly favors the preflop raiser and 8-high has little immediate showdown value or draw equity. Checking preserves chips and lets us respond to their sizing.

Small c-bet on a dry paired board where my preflop raise range has the advantage. QT has a gutshot to a straight and two overcards to the 5s, so it has equity if called.

With only eight-high on a paired board and no meaningful draw, continuing against the flop bet is not profitable. Folding preserves the stack for stronger spots.

T3 offsuit is a weak button holding and should be folded rather than entering against both blinds.

Blind vs blind, 74o getting 3:1 is a reasonable complete; a limp keeps the pot small with a weak but playable hand.

Q8 offsuit is strong enough to raise against a small-blind limp and can win the pot immediately or play heads-up against a weaker range.

74o is too weak to call 300 more out of position against the big blind's raise over my limp, even though the pot odds are decent. Folding loses only the 100 already in.
