Hold'em table

ATo is a strong opening hand on the button in 3-handed play, so I'm raising to 2.5bb for value and to take the initiative.

5-3 offsuit is too weak to continue against a button raise out of position, so folding preserves chips.

K6 offsuit has sufficient equity to defend the big blind against a small button open heads-up, and calling preserves realization versus a likely wide range.

Check to the preflop raiser with king-high, a heart flush draw, and a likely overcard, preserving flexibility versus a continuation bet.

On a dry J72 two-tone board I hold ace-high with a gutshot and backdoor draws, and as the preflop raiser I have the range advantage. A small c-bet of about a third of the pot should get folds often while keeping my equity when called.

Call with a ten-high heart flush draw and some king-high showdown value, receiving favorable immediate pot odds.

Our king-high has little showdown value, and the ace is substantially better for the button raiser's range. Checking preserves the option to fold to meaningful pressure.

Top pair on the ace turn is strong enough to bet small for thin value against Jx, weaker aces and heart draws, and it also charges those draws. A check-raise would put us in a tough spot, but bets of this size keep the pot controlled.

The king-high heart draw lacks sufficient immediate odds against the turn bet, and our overcard is unlikely to be clean on an ace-high board.

With 3-2 offsuit in the small blind facing the big blind, folding avoids realizing poor equity out of position.

K2 offsuit is too weak to open profitably from the button against two blinds at this stack depth.

Pocket fours are well ahead of a random big blind hand in a blind-vs-blind spot. A 3x raise takes the initiative, and folding or limping gives up equity.

Q2o is a weak offsuit hand out of position against a raise, and calling 200 more with poor playability is not profitable. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

53 suited is a reasonable button open in 3-handed play, so I'm raising small to pressure the blinds while keeping a playable hand.

We hold a premium hand (AKo) and face a raise. A 3-bet for value and to take control of the hand is appropriate, especially out of position.

A5 suited is playable in some spots, but facing an open and a large 3-bet while out of position in a multiway configuration makes continuing unattractive.

Getting about 32% pot odds in position with 100bb stacks. 53s is playable against a wide 3-handed SB 3-bet range and has good implied odds.

Top pair top kicker on a dry board is strong, so I bet for value and to charge any draws.

I have 5-high with only a gutshot (a 6 fills 5-6-7-8-9, and even that is a weak straight) against a 3-bettor's 1200 c-bet on a K-high board. I need 1200 into 4100, about 29% equity, and my draw is far short of that, so folding is clearly best.

A suited ace is strong heads-up versus the big blind after the button folds. Raising applies pressure and builds value with a hand that plays well postflop.

KQo is well ahead of a wide small-blind raising range, so 3-betting in position for value and initiative is better than flatting. Sizing to 10bb keeps it standard.

Ah8h is strong enough to defend against a small-blind-versus-big-blind 3-bet at this price, retaining suitedness and ace-high equity.

Top pair is likely ahead of the preflop caller's range and benefits from protection against overcards and straight draws. A moderate continuation bet extracts value while keeping worse hands involved.

With two overcards in position, calling 700 to win 2700 (about 26% equity needed) is a reasonable float against a small donk bet, and we can reassess on the turn.

With a weak pair and the nut-heart draw on this Q turn, checking preserves equity without inflating the pot against a strong 3-bet range.

Top pair with a king kicker is well ahead of the flop donk-bet range: draws, 9x and weaker pairs. After the turn check, I'm betting about two-thirds pot for value and protection.

Our pair of eights has poor equity against a large turn bet after the preflop 3-bet and flop call, with few clean river improvements. Folding preserves the stack.

9-high offsuit with a weak kicker is not worth entering against two blinds from the button under this structure.

KJs is a strong hand for a blind-vs-blind spot after the button folds, so I'm raising to 3bb for value and initiative.

Calling 200 offers 2:1 pot odds and K6o has enough equity against a likely wide small-blind raise heads-up. Folding would give up a reasonable spot with the big blind already invested.

This low, connected flop favors the big blind's calling range, and K-high with only backdoor clubs does better checking out of position than c-betting into it.

I have top pair with a king kicker and a backdoor flush draw, so I can bet for value and protection on this relatively dry board. A 300-chip bet into the 600-chip pot puts pressure on overcards and draws.

Facing a one-third pot bet, calling only needs about 25% equity, and two overcards plus a backdoor club flush draw should be close to that against the big blind's betting range. Folding is too tight at this price, and raising out of position with no pair isn't worth it.

KJ high with no draw on a paired low board is weak out of position against a flop bettor, so I check and will likely give up to significant pressure.

Top pair with a decent kicker on the river is a thin value bet against a range of weaker pairs, and the opponent timed out on the turn, so a bet may also take the pot uncontested via the fold fallback.
