Hold'em table

K3o on the button 3-handed is a standard open; a small raise steals the blinds often.

J2s is too weak to continue against a button raise out of position, so I fold and preserve chips.

AQ suited is a strong big-blind 3-bet candidate versus a button open, building value and denying equity while retaining maneuverability postflop.

K3o is too weak to continue against a big blind 3-bet to 8.5bb; calling out of position... actually in position, but the hand is dominated too often and plays poorly.

6-3 offsuit is a very weak hand and not worth investing chips preflop, especially with no strong draw potential.

AJs suited is a strong heads-up blind-versus-blind holding, and raising applies pressure while building value.

A4o in the big blind versus a small blind open to 3bb is well ahead of a wide blind-vs-blind range, and I'm getting 3:1 with position. Calling realizes that equity; 3-betting is also viable but calling keeps dominated hands in.

A half-pot continuation bet applies pressure to the big blind's broad range while retaining fold equity with two overcards and backdoor club potential.

Getting 3:1 against a half-pot c-bet from a wide SB range on a dry board. Ace-high with a backdoor spade draw has enough equity to float in position-neutral spots.

The turn does not improve my ace-high, and the flop caller retains many one-pair hands. Checking preserves equity and avoids barreling into a likely continuing range.

The opponent checked the turn after c-betting the flop, which shows weakness. We hold the nut flush draw plus a wheel gutshot and an overcard ace, so a semi-bluff of about two-thirds pot is strong.

Ace-high has little showdown value against a substantial turn bet after the flop call. Bluff-raising this coordinated board would be too speculative.

J8 suited has reasonable button playability three-handed, and a small open can pressure the blinds while retaining positional advantage.

A6s from the small blind against a button open in 3-handed play is a strong 3-bet candidate. Its ace blocker and playability make a squeeze to 10bb better than flatting out of position.

J8 offsuit is too weak to continue facing a large 3-bet, especially with the big blind already folded.

AJo on the button 3-handed is a strong open; a standard 2.5bb raise.

J5 offsuit is too weak to continue against a button open raise, especially out of position. Folding preserves my stack for a better spot.

8-3 offsuit is too weak to defend against a button open, especially out of position heads-up.

2h5c is a very weak hand out of position against two opponents, so folding preflop is the lowest-risk play.

A8 offsuit is strong heads-up against the big blind's wide defending range, so I raise for value and initiative.

Getting 3:1 in position against a small-blind open, A4o is a comfortable defend. Calling keeps their wider range in, while 3-betting could be a mix.

A small continuation bet pressures many unpaired hands and weaker pocket pairs while keeping the bluff inexpensive on this dry board.

A4 with bottom pair, an ace overcard, and a gutshot to the wheel is getting good odds: calling 200 into a pot that will be 1000 needs only 20% equity. Raising would mostly fold out worse hands, so a call is best.

With ace-high and a gutshot to the wheel, checking realizes equity and avoids bloating the pot against a flop-calling range that contains many kings and draws.

After the flop c-bet, villain's turn check suggests weakness. Our pair of fours plus the wheel draw (any 5) and ace outs is a good hand for a semi-value bet that denies equity.

I have ace-high showdown value plus a gutshot to the nut straight. The small turn bet offers reasonable pot odds against potential continuation bluffs and draws.

I have a straight and can extract value from kings, two-pair hands, and some weaker made hands. I use a moderate sizing since a six would make a higher straight.

I have a wheel, but it loses to any 6 and chops with any ace, which is likely in the raiser's range. Calling 700 to win 2800 is clearly profitable, while raising mostly gets called by hands that tie or beat me.

Kh2c is weak but has positional advantage on the button; a small open raise can often take down the blinds while keeping risk controlled.

94o from the small blind facing a button open with the big blind still to act is a clear fold.

QJo has enough equity against a button open and I'm getting good pot odds to call the extra 200. I'll see a flop and play carefully out of position.

I have a marginal hand with overcards and a backdoor straight draw, but the board is paired and the opponent raised preflop. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me see the turn for free.

A small continuation bet leverages the ace-high paired board, which strongly favors my preflop raising range. It can fold out many unpaired hands while risking little.
