Hold'em table

K6 offsuit on the button in a 3-handed pot is a marginal hand, and calling 100 out of position against two players risks a lot with weak postflop equity. Folding is a conservative choice, though it gives up a bit of positional value.

8-3 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind even at a favorable price, with poor playability out of position.

On the button, K9 suited is strong enough to open-raise and leverage position against the blinds.

Five-ten offsuit is a weak hand to call 250 out of the small blind against a button raise, and the pot odds don't justify the price with the big blind still to act.

2-5 offsuit is one of the weakest hands. Calling 200 more to win a 450 pot looks cheap, but I'd be out of position against a button raiser with a poor hand, so I fold.

Ace-nine suited on the button is strong enough to raise over the big blind in a 3-handed game, and a raise to 300 builds the pot and may win the blinds.

K2 offsuit out of position in the small blind facing a 3x button raise, with the big blind still to act behind, is a weak hand that is dominated often. Folding is the simplest option.

Defend the big blind heads-up versus a button min-raise with an ace, which has sufficient equity and strong blocker value.

I have top pair heads-up and can extract value from worse pairs and draws while denying equity cheaply. A small continuation-sized lead keeps weaker hands in.

I have a pair of aces with a open-ended straight draw (9-8-7 with 6 or T), which is strong enough to continue, but calling keeps the pot manageable against a flop bet from seat_2.

I have top two pair on this paired board and should value-bet against worse aces, eights, and draws while charging hearts.

We hold A-8 two pair on a paired board, which is strong, but seat_2 has shown aggression on the flop and turn, so calling keeps us in without bloating the pot against a likely strong hand.

Top pair with a weak kicker has limited value against the range that called both flop and turn on a paired board. Checking realizes showdown value and avoids being raised by trips or stronger aces.

I have aces and eights (two pair, aces and eights) on a paired board, which is strong enough to value bet. Seat_2 checked the river, so a half-pot bet can get called by weaker pairs and draws.

Top pair is a credible bluff-catcher against missed straight and heart draws after the river check. The sizing offers suitable pot odds, while raising would mainly isolate against stronger aces, trips, or boats.

Pocket eights on the button in a 3-handed game is a strong hand, so I raise to 3bb for value and position.

J7 offsuit is a weak small-blind defend versus a button 3x open, especially with the big blind still behind.

Facing a 3bb button raise with only 200 to call, A7o has enough equity and playability to continue cheaply from the big blind, while a 3-bet would risk too much out of position.

I have top pair with an ace on a paired 4-4-A board, but the board is coordinated and a check keeps the pot controlled while I see how the preflop raiser acts.

Pocket eights on a 4-A-4 board are a medium-strength hand. The BB checked, so a small bet of about half the pot gets value from worse pairs and folds out hands with an ace or overcards that could outdraw me.

I hold two pair, aces and fours, on a 4-4-A board, which is a strong hand. I'm raising for value against seat_1's flop bet.

Pocket eights on a 4-A-4 board is a medium-strength hand. Seat_3's check-raise could be an ace or a bluff, so I call 550 into a 1900 pot to keep bluffs in rather than risk a big re-raise.

I have aces and fours (two pair, As with the Ad and 4s 4d on board), a strong made hand, so I'm betting for value against seat_1's flop call.

I hold a full house (8s full of 4s) on a board of 4d Ad 4s 8h. Seat 3's range is mostly weaker hands or bluffs, and only AA or 44 beats me, so I'll call 1500 and keep a weaker range in rather than raising it out.

We hold aces and fours (two pair) on the river, which is strong vs. a player who has only called two streets, so betting about half the pot for value is reasonable.

I hold a full house, 8s full of 4s, on a paired board. Seat_3 led out and raised every street, so the line is strong, but it is mostly beaten only by a 4 or an Ace (A8 or A4 would beat or tie). Calling 2800 into a pot of 8250 needs only about 25% equity, and a full house crushes most of the opponent's value and bluff range.}}

Pocket jacks are a strong button opening hand three-handed. I raise for value and to narrow the blinds' ranges.

Tc6h is a weak offsuit hand with poor playability, and facing a 250-chip call from the button after a 300 raise out of position, folding is the disciplined choice.

Getting 450 into 200 (about 2.25 to 1 pot odds) against a button open in a 3-handed game. K4o has enough equity against a wide button range to defend, so I call rather than bloat the pot out of position.

Top-ish pair would be second pair... actually Kc4d on Qd8s5d is just king high with a backdoor nothing; checking to the preflop raiser in position is the cheapest option and avoids bloating the pot with a weak hand.

Betting our overpair for value and protection on this coordinated two-diamond board. A modest sizing keeps worse queens, draws, and pairs involved.

King-high with a backdoor-free 4 is weak; facing a 400 bet into 650 requires about 28% equity, and I have only two overcards-ish outs (a king) against a button range that bets the flop. Folding is the disciplined choice.

Holding 7-2 offsuit style hand (T-2 offsuit) on the button facing only the big blind's completion, calling 100 to see a cheap flop is reasonable in a 3-handed pot with position, though the hand is weak and folding is also defensible.

98o suited-ish connector-type hand with good price: only 50 more to call into a 250 pot in a 3-way pot. Calling is profitable; raising out of position with a marginal hand is unnecessary.

Check the big blind with A3 suited after both opponents limp; it plays well multiway without inflating the pot.

I have only 8-high with a backdoor spade draw on an A-K-4 flop in a three-way pot, so betting would mostly fold out worse hands and get called by better ones. Checking keeps the pot small and costs nothing.

I have top pair with the nut-flush draw on a coordinated board. Betting builds value while denying equity to weaker draws and pairs.

Ten-high with a deuce has no pair and very few outs against a flop bet from seat_2 holding ace-king-high strength, so calling 200 to win the pot is not justified.

I have 9-high with a weak backdoor-less draw on an A-K-4 board and need to call 200 into a pot of 500 (about 29% equity needed). Against a bet from the big blind who likely has an ace or king, I have too little equity to continue.
