Hold'em table

Q3o is well outside standard button opening ranges in 3-handed play, making it a clear fold.

T7 offsuit is weak, but heads-up after the button folds, completing for 50 against the BB is cheap and keeps the pot small with a speculative hand.

K♦6♦ is a playable hand against a small-blind limp, so I’ll raise for value and take the initiative heads-up.

Ten-seven offsuit is a weak hand facing a 3.5x raise out of position; folding and saving 250 chips is clearly best.

A8 suited is a strong hand heads-up after the button folds, so raise for value and initiative rather than just completing the small blind.

KQo is well ahead of a standard blind-vs-blind raising range, and calling allows us to play a pot in position with strong equity.

A small continuation bet applies pressure on this king-high flop while risking little, and my ace-high has overcard and backdoor nut-flush potential.

I flopped top pair with a strong kicker in position against a small c-bet, making an easy call to keep their bluffs and weaker holdings in.

I have only ace-high with no meaningful draw, and the caller may have a king or a draw. Checking keeps the pot small and preserves the chance to reach showdown cheaply.

Top pair with a good kicker has solid showdown value; checking behind pot-controls and keeps villain's bluffing and weaker calling ranges intact for the river.

My ace kicker gives me a reasonable showdown hand against missed draws, but a river bet is unlikely to be called by worse and risks value-owning myself against a king or better. I'll take the free showdown.

I have two pair, Kings and Sixes with a Queen kicker. Checking behind allows me to win at showdown against missed draws and underpairs without risking a check-raise from a full house or better King.

Q5 suited is a reasonable button open three-handed. I’ll raise to 2.5 big blinds to pressure the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

K4o is too weak to call or 3-bet from the small blind against a button open.

KQs is strong heads-up against a button open; 3-betting builds the pot with a hand that plays well postflop and applies pressure to the aggressor.

Q5 suited is too weak to continue against a large 3-bet; calling risks being dominated, and a 4-bet bluff is not worthwhile here.

QJo is well ahead of a random 3-handed distribution and makes for a standard button open raise to 2.5bb.

Queen-Ten offsuit is too weak to defend against a 2.5x raise out of position in a 3-handed game, with the big blind still to act behind me. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

8-2 offsuit has poor equity and plays badly out of position against the button’s raise. The price isn’t enough to justify continuing with this hand.

95 offsuit is far too weak to play even from the button three-handed; calling leaves me with a dominated, easily counterfeited hand out of equity. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

Complete the small blind cheaply with a playable hand in a blind-versus-blind pot; raising with offsuit T-7 is unnecessary.

I am in the big blind with Jc 4c after the small blind completed. Checking to take a free flop in position is standard.

I have no pair and only a backdoor straight possibility, so I’ll take the free card rather than bluff into the big blind.

I have Jack-high with no made hand or strong draw, so taking a free card in position is standard.

A small turn bet can represent the jack and pressure a checked-back range, while I still have a gutshot to improve.

I turned second pair in a limped blind-versus-blind pot; getting 3 to 1 pot odds against a half-pot turn lead, calling is standard.

With only ten-high and no useful blockers, a river bluff is unlikely to fold out the pairs that called the turn. I’ll take the free showdown rather than risk more chips.

I have second pair with a weak kicker, which has decent showdown value against missed draws or weaker pairs, but cannot comfortably bet for value and get called by worse.

Q3 offsuit is marginal, but the button’s position and chance to win the blinds make it a reasonable open. I’ll use a modest raise size.

J8o is too weak to defend out of position against a button open with the big blind left to act.

T9s has good playability and I only need 150 more to see a flop with 400 already in the pot. Calling keeps the pot manageable while retaining a strong suited connector's flop potential.

I flopped top pair (tens) on a paired board against the preflop raiser; a small bet builds the pot for value while keeping control and avoiding a big check-raise gamble with only top pair.

I have no made hand and only weak backdoor potential against a sizable flop lead, so continuing is not worthwhile.
