Hold'em table

T3 suited is too weak to open or limp from the button even 3-handed, with poor pair and domination potential.

With A-Q suited heads-up against the big blind after the button folds, I raise for value and initiative.

9c5d is a weak hand facing a 3x raise out of position; folding is clearly best.

J6 offsuit is a weak button holding in a three-handed game and does not justify entering against the blinds at this stack depth.

9d2s is the worst hand in the deck; calling 50 more heads-up against the big blind has no profitable future. Folding saves chips for better spots.

Heads-up from the small blind, A7 offsuit is a strong open well ahead of a random big blind hand. Raising to 2.5x applies pressure and builds a pot in position postflop.

Q9 offsuit is strong enough to defend the big blind against a small blind min-raise heads-up, with good pot odds and position postflop.

Ace-high with backdoor club and straight possibilities has some showdown value on a paired board; checking keeps the pot controlled and avoids bluffing into a caller who can have 8x, 5x, or pairs.

With only queen-high on a paired board and no club, checking back preserves showdown value and avoids being check-raised by a strong 8 or pocket pair.

Betting the turn as a semi-bluff with the 7c flush draw and Ace high; opponent showed weakness checking the flop and will fold many pairs and unpaired hands, while I retain river equity if called.

With only queen-high on a paired four-club board, calling or bluff-raising into the turn lead is too weak.

86 offsuit is below a profitable 3-handed button opening range and plays poorly even in position, so folding avoids a negative-EV raise or limp.

With AK suited-equivalent broadway strength heads-up from the small blind, I raise for value and initiative. A 3bb total sizing pressures the big blind while preserving postflop maneuverability.

32o out of position against a 3bb raise is a trivial fold.

Q4 suited is too weak to open profitably in this three-handed spot, especially with poor kicker and reverse-implied-odds risk.

J6s in the small blind heads-up is worth a cheap call to see a flop against the big blind rather than folding.

Q3o is weak against a limping small blind; checking is free and lets me see a flop in position postflop without inflating the pot.

I hold bottom pair plus a heart flush draw on KQ6 with two hearts on board; betting heads-up builds the pot while I still have strong equity and can take it down now.

In position with second pair on a draw-heavy board, I have enough equity and pot odds to call one flop bet and re-evaluate on the turn.

I hold a heart flush draw with J-high; checking keeps the pot small and lets me see the river cheaply, folding to significant aggression.

With third pair and a weak kicker on an A-K-Q board, checking in position controls the pot and lets me realize showdown value without being called by better Aces, Kings, or Queens.

My J-high flush draw missed; only a weak pair of sixes. Checking back to realize showdown cheaply and fold to any bet.

With second pair on an A-K-Q board with three hearts, I have showdown value against flop bluffs and worse pairs. Checking avoids losing extra to kings, aces, straights, or a completed flush and avoids turning a medium hand into a bluff.

5d6d is a suited connector with good playability; calling 50 into 150 heads-up against the big blind is cheap and keeps the pot manageable out of position.

Q9 offsuit is ahead of a typical small-blind limping range and benefits from applying pressure preflop. Raising to 4bb builds initiative while keeping weaker hands and folds available.

56 suited has good playability and implied odds deep-stacked; calling 300 into 500 heads-up is preferable to folding despite being out of position postflop.

Pair of sixes plus open-ended straight draw gives strong equity against a preflop raiser; leading builds the pot and can fold overcards.

I have a made straight on a very draw-heavy board and should raise for value and protection against sets, two pair, and pair-plus-draw holdings.

With middle pair and an open-ended straight draw I am likely behind a preflop raiser who re-raised the flop, and calling 1200 only buys one card at poor odds before facing another large turn bet.
