Hold'em table

AQo on the button is a strong 3-handed open; raising applies pressure and builds the pot with position.

T8 offsuit is too weak to call a 3x button raise from the small blind with the big blind still to act.

K6 suited in the big blind facing a 3x button open with 200 to call into 450; getting good odds and closing action, a call is standard while 3-betting is marginal.

Out of position with K-high and a backdoor flush draw on a Q-high flop; check to the preflop raiser and see what they do rather than bloating the pot.

I have top pair with top kicker on a draw-heavy board. Betting for value and protection against flush draws.

King-high with only a backdoor diamond draw on Qh5h2d facing a 70% pot bet out of position; not enough equity or playability to continue.

T7 suited is a profitable button open three-handed, and a 2.5 big blind raise applies pressure while keeping the pot manageable.

4-6 offsuit in the small blind facing a 2.5x open from the button is a clear fold; poor equity and out of position.

I have 2d8h in the big blind facing a button raise; this is a weak offsuit hand with poor playability. Calling 150 out of position and raising as a bluff are both unattractive, so folding is best.

2s3h offsuit is one of the worst starting hands; even on the button in a 3-handed game it is a clear fold against two players still to act.

Button folded, so this is effectively a blind-vs-blind battle. QTo is strong enough to raise for value and pressure the big blind; a 2.5x raise can also take the pot down immediately.

Q2 offsuit is weak, but facing a small-blind raise, calling 150 more to see a flop in position is preferable to folding or raising.

Top pair with an open-ended straight draw on a wet board; betting for value and protection.

I have an open-ended straight draw and position. Calling keeps the pot manageable while leaving room to win more if I improve.

I have middle pair plus an open-ended straight draw on a coordinated board, so betting the turn applies value and protection while I can reevaluate if raised.

I have only an open-ended straight draw. Calling 800 offers insufficient pot odds for one card to come, especially with a possible diamond flush draw on the board.

T5s from the button is a weak, easily-dominated hand facing a full big blind call with only 3 players; folding avoids playing a marginal hand out of position postflop.

Completing costs only 50 chips, and 6-5 offsuit has enough potential to see a flop heads-up despite being out of position.

72o is the worst hand; checking the option for free is correct rather than raising a limper with no equity.

Bottom pair with a weak kicker is too thin to bet for value on this draw-heavy flop. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me reassess after the big blind acts.

Limped pot, SB checked to me showing weakness; 7-2 has no showdown value so a small stab at half pot takes it down often enough to be profitable, and I can give up if raised.

Bottom pair is strong enough to continue against a small flop bet, with chances to improve and potential to be ahead of a bluff.

Trips are strong here, and a 300-chip bet can get value from kings and nines while charging diamond draws.

I hold 7-2 offsuit with no pair, no draw on a paired board; my flop c-bet got called and villain now leads the turn, so continuing has no equity. Fold.

Pocket kings are a premium preflop hand, so I’m raising for value from the button.

9-5 offsuit in the small blind facing a 3x open from the button is a clear fold; it plays poorly out of position and has little equity against an opening range.

T2o is too weak to defend out of position against a button raise, even getting roughly 2.25:1. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

4d5c offsuit on the button is a weak hand with poor playability; folding avoids marginal spots out of position against two blinds who may defend.

KJo is strong enough to raise heads-up against the big blind after the button folded; raising takes initiative and charges weaker hands.

4-3 offsuit is too weak to defend against a 3x raise, even heads-up in the big blind.
