Hold'em table

K7o on the button in a 3-handed game is worth a standard steal raise; folding is too tight and calling gives the blinds a cheap flop.

K6s is marginal from the small blind against a 2.5bb button open, especially with the big blind still left to act out of position.

A6 suited is strong enough to defend the big blind against a button raise, and calling keeps weaker hands in the pot without inflating it.

Top pair with a weak kicker is worth continuing, but checking out of position keeps the pot manageable and lets the preflop raiser act.

I missed the flop entirely with king-high, and the caller's preflop flat suggests a decent hand that checked to me. Checking back keeps the pot small and avoids building it with no showdown value.

I have trips, but my six kicker is weak and a better ace is plausible after the preflop raise. Checking controls the pot and lets me reach the river without value-owning myself.

Villain check-checked flop and turn, signaling weakness, and my king-high missed the board entirely. A half-pot bluff on the turn has good fold equity against their passive line.

Trips aces are strong, and the 350-chip bet offers favorable pot odds. Calling keeps bluffs and weaker hands in while avoiding a raise that may isolate me against a full house or better kicker.

My trips are strong enough for a small value bet, and this sizing can be called by weaker made hands while limiting exposure to completed draws or a stronger ace.

94s is too weak to open from the button, even in a 3-handed game.

Q6 offsuit is too weak to raise, but completing the small blind is inexpensive and has reasonable equity against the big blind's wide range.

AJs is a strong heads-up hand and well ahead of a SB limp range, so I raise for value to build the pot while I likely have the best hand.

Q6 offsuit is too weak to continue out of position against a raise, especially with substantial domination risk.

A9 offsuit is a strong button hand three-handed, so raise for value and to apply pressure to the blinds.

J7 offsuit is far too weak to call a 3x raise from the button out of position with a player still behind me. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

Q5o has poor playability and negative expectation facing a 3x open out of position, making it a clear fold.

Button folded so we are blind vs blind. Pocket fours is well ahead of a random hand, so raising to 3bb builds value and applies pressure.

J♥8♥ is a playable suited hand, and the price is favorable heads-up against the small blind’s raise. I’ll call and evaluate the flop out of position.

The flop texture of Ks Qh 7s heavily favors the big blind's defending range, and pocket fours have minimal equity and redraw value out of position. Checking to control the pot is the standard play.

I have no made hand or strong immediate draw, so I’ll take the free card rather than bluff into the preflop raiser.

Pocket fours has little equity against a calling range on this double-paired broadway board, so checking to realize equity or fold to a bet is optimal.

I have a strong flush draw with a gutshot to Broadway, so a moderate turn bet can win the pot now while building it when called.

Holding an underpair of fours on a double broadway, paired board with two flush draws offers negligible showdown value and minimal outs against a turn bet.

Pocket eights on the button is a strong standard open in 3-handed play; raising to 2.5bb for value and position.

2♠4♥ offsuit is too weak to continue from the small blind against the raise, even with the discount.

Suited connector defending the big blind against a small 2.5x raise; calling only 150 into a 400 pot gives excellent odds and the hand has strong multi-street playability.

I completely missed the flop with 5c7c and have no draw worth betting; taking a free card in position is clearly best, and I can fold if seat_2 bets.

The board contains two broadway cards and a nine, heavily hitting the big blind's calling range, so taking a free card with third pair/underpair is best.

I have 5c7c with no pair, no gutshot (board Qh 9s Kh 4c), and only a weak backdoor club draw. Checking is free; I'll fold to any meaningful turn bet.

Holding an underpair on a coordinated board with multiple overcards, checking behind keeps the pot controlled and allows us to see the river for free.

I missed the board entirely with 5c7c; checking the river heads-up is free and folding gains nothing.

We spiked a set of eights on the river after checking through flop and turn; betting for value against their single-pair holdings.

Seven-high missed the board entirely; there's no fold equity story worth 375 more, so I give up the small bet.

A3 offsuit is a reasonable button open three-handed; raising puts pressure on the blinds and takes initiative.

T2o is one of the weakest hands in the deck and is likely dominated by the button's opening range; calling 200 more with poor playability and reverse implied odds is not worth it.

J9o performs poorly out of position facing a 2.5bb open from the button, making it a clear fold.
