Hold'em table

A6o on the button in a 3-handed game is a standard open; raising 2.5x to take the blinds or play in position with a decent ace.

Against a wide 3-handed button open, A7o plays well as a 3-bet from the small blind, where the ace blocks strong hands and folds out better hands' equity. Flatting out of position with the big blind still to act would be worse.

JTs plays well against a three-bet with deep stacks, and I have position on the reraiser postflop. Calling preserves its suited and connected potential without inflating the pot further.

A6 offsuit faces a 3-bet from the SB and a cold call from the BB; out of position against two ranges that are both strong, calling 750 more with a dominated ace is unprofitable, and 4-betting as a bluff into two players is too risky.

Middle pair with a backdoor nut flush draw; a small one-third-pot c-bet uses our 3-bet range advantage, denies equity, and keeps the pot manageable out of position.

Middle pair is worth continuing against a small flop bet. Raising would overplay the hand against a preflop three-bettor.

A weak pair of sevens plus the nut flush draw does well checking on this coordinated turn against a flop-calling range. Checking keeps the pot manageable and lets me consider a call with my equity.

Middle pair and a flush draw give me substantial equity, but betting risks a check-raise from the preflop aggressor. Checking in position lets me see the river for free.

Third pair with an ace kicker has some showdown value but can't get value from better hands, and the diamond flush just completed on the river. Checking to see a cheap showdown is best.

I have a jack-high flush. A moderate river bet can get value from queens, overpairs, and other hands that may call after checking.

I'm getting nearly 3.9:1 on a small river bet, so I only need about 26% equity. Missed spade draws are plausible bluffs, and my pair of sevens with an ace kicker is a reasonable bluff-catcher at this price.

In a 3-handed game, K4o on the button is a standard open against the two blinds, so a small raise to 2.5bb applies steal pressure.

8-6 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button raise with the big blind still to act.

3c2c suited is too weak to defend out of position against a button open; folding is standard here.

Pocket aces are the strongest starting hand. A 3 big blind button raise builds the pot while inviting action from weaker hands.

J8 offsuit in the small blind facing a 3x button open is a clear fold; it's dominated often, plays poorly out of position, and calling invites a squeeze from the big blind.

T4o out of position against a 3x button open is a marginal-to-losing defend once poor equity realization is factored in, so I'm folding.

Q9s on the button in a 3-handed game is a clear open-raise; standard 2.5x sizing to take initiative and position.

Three-handed, the button opens a wide range, and K4s from the small blind plays poorly as a call with the big blind still to act. A 3-bet to 1050 uses the king blocker and suited playability as a semi-bluff that can take the pot preflop.

A8 suited is not strong enough to cold-call a large three-bet with the original raiser still to act. Four-betting would risk too much against two live opponents.

Q9s on the button facing a large 4.2x 3-bet from the small blind; it's a weak hand out of position postflop against a polarized range, so folding is the standard play.

QJs on the button 3-handed is a clear open-raise; 2.5x is a standard sizing.

T3 offsuit is too weak to defend the small blind against a 2.5-big-blind raise with the big blind still to act.

76o in the big blind facing a 2.5x button open with 150 to call into a 400 pot (~27% equity needed); I'm closing the action and getting a good price with a connected hand that plays decently postflop, so a call is marginally profitable.

Flopped bottom two pair out of position against the button's preflop raiser; checking lets them c-bet with their wide range so I can check-raise for value.

Top pair with a decent kicker in position on a connected board; a ~2/3 pot value bet gets value from weaker Jx and draws while protecting the hand.

Flopped bottom two pair (7c6h on Jh6c7s) against a button c-bet; raising for value and protection against overcards and draws, since the board can easily counterfeit or outdraw bottom two pair.

Top pair with a queen kicker is well ahead of the draws and weaker jacks in a BB check-raise range, and calling 800 into 2850 is a good price. Re-raising would mostly fold out worse hands and get called by sets and two pair.

Top two pair 7s and 6s on J-6-7-5 board; betting ~2/3 pot for value against Jx, overpairs, and 8x draws while charging straight draws after the 5 brought more straight combos.

A flop check-raise followed by a large turn barrel on a board where the 5 completes 98, 84 and 43 is heavily weighted toward sets, two pair and straights. One pair with QJ is beaten too often to call 1900 with more betting likely on the river.

Five-four suited is playable on the button, where position helps realize its straight and flush potential. I’ll open to 2.5 big blinds.

A2o out of position is a poor flat but a fine 3-bet bluff candidate vs a button open: the ace blocker reduces premium continues, and we take the initiative with fold equity rather than playing a weak hand passively from the SB.

T3s facing a 3-bet from the small blind, with the button's open still live behind, is a clear fold. Calling 900 more out of position with a weak hand is unprofitable.

Calling a large three-bet with 5♥4♥ is unlikely to be profitable, even with position.
