Hold'em table

94o is well outside any reasonable 3-handed button opening range, making this a clear fold.

With the button folded, ace-high is strong heads-up against the big blind. Raise for value and to take initiative rather than just completing from the small blind.

24o is too weak to continue against a 3bb open; folding saves chips.

K5 offsuit is a reasonable button open in a three-handed game, and raising uses my positional advantage while putting pressure on the blinds.

6-2 offsuit is the worst starting hand and has no equity worth calling a raise with from the small blind. Folding preserves the stack for better spots.

Getting attractive pot odds (150 to call into 400) closing the action preflop against a button open, T9o has sufficient playability to defend.

I check to the preflop aggressor on a King-high board holding ten-high with a gutshot straight draw.

A small continuation bet can get value from weaker pairs and deny equity to overcards while keeping the pot manageable with a weak kicker.

I have ten-high with no made draw or pair out of position against a continuation bet, making this an easy fold.

K7o is playable as a button open in three-handed poker, and raising is better than limping or folding a hand that can steal the blinds with position.

Holding 4c 2d in the small blind facing a button open is an easy fold with unplayable junk.

53 offsuit is a very weak hand against the button’s raise, and calling out of position would be unlikely to realize enough equity despite the price.

T7o is too weak to open profitably from the button even in 3-handed play.

K♥2♥ is a playable suited hand heads-up from the small blind. I’ll complete cheaply and keep the pot manageable out of position.

Button folded and the small blind only completed, so I raise Ace-seven offsuit to build the pot and take the initiative while still having position postflop.

K♥2♥ is weak but has useful suited equity, and the price is reasonable against a potentially wide heads-up isolation raise. I’ll call rather than inflate the pot out of position.

I have only a king-high hand with no meaningful draw, so I’ll check and avoid building the pot.

Ace-high with only a gutshot has little value on this connected board against a preflop caller, so I check back and realize equity cheaply.

King-high has no meaningful draw or showdown strength on this board. I’ll take the free card rather than bluff into an opponent who checked back the flop.

Ace-high has some showdown value and no draw, so checking behind after two checks is better than bluffing into a possible weak pair.

I have only a weak pair and the river completes a possible club flush. Checking keeps the pot small and gives me a chance to win at showdown against missed overcards.

Ace-high has some showdown value after three streets of checks, and a river bluff is unlikely to fold out the pairs that called preflop. Checking realizes that equity without risking more chips.

8♣2♦ offsuit is too weak to continue from the button facing the big blind; calling would needlessly invest chips with poor prospects.

24o is too weak to complete from the small blind out of position; folding saves the extra half-blind.

72o is too weak to call or raise from the button against a live big blind, so folding preserves the full stack.

In SB vs BB after the button folds, 98s is a strong suited connector that plays very well as an open-raise to 3bb.

A-T offsuit is strong enough to 3-bet against a small-blind open, and raising builds value while applying pressure to the opener's weaker hands.

In a blind-versus-blind scenario with 100bb effective stacks, 98s has strong playability and sufficient implied odds to call a standard 3-bet.

I have completely missed this flop with nine-high out of position against the preflop 3-bettor, so checking is standard.

Top pair with a decent kicker is strong enough to value-bet, and a modest sizing can get called by worse hands while charging draws.

I have 9-high with virtually no equity or backdoor potential on an ace-high board against a 3-bettor's c-bet.
