Hold'em table

A7s is a strong suited ace on the button in 3-max; raising for value and position with a standard 3x open.

Pocket sevens is ahead of a typical button open in three-handed play, and a small three-bet takes the initiative before the big blind can squeeze.

A4 offsuit is too weak to continue facing a raise and a 3-bet to 900; folding preserves chips.

A7 suited with position against a 3-bet is a reasonable call; folding gives up too much equity, and 4-betting A7 is too thin. I can flop well and play in position postflop.

I have an underpair with no draw on a king-high, connected flop, so I check to pot-control rather than barrel into the 3-bet caller.

I only have ace-high after calling a 3-bet, and the preflop aggressor checked the flop, which often signals strength or a trap. Checking back keeps the pot small and preserves my ace-high showdown equity at no cost.

Pocket sevens are only a weak pair on a king-paired board, so betting gets called by better and folds out worse. Checking keeps the pot small and realizes equity.

I only hold ace-high after a 3-bet preflop, so betting into seat_2's strong range is unprofitable; I'll check and evaluate the river cheaply, with the ace giving me a small chance to win at showdown or bluff later.

My sevens play the board (KK99 with an 8 kicker), so I can only chop or lose to any king, nine, or pocket eights. A bet never gets called by worse and only risks extra chips against full houses, so checking realizes the chop.

Q7o is too weak and poorly connected to open from the button into two live blinds, so folding avoids a dominated, low-equity spot.

JTs is a strong suited connector heads-up against the big blind; raising to build the pot and take initiative.

J5 offsuit is a weak hand with no suited connection; folding on the button preflop facing a raise-less pot is fine, though this is just a limp scenario, still not worth entering with weak holdings out of position postflop.

Heads-up against only the BB, T7s has decent suited potential; a small raise builds pressure and can win the blinds immediately.

Heads-up in position against a small-blind raise, 25s is suited and connected enough to defend given the price. Calling 150 into 350 needs only about 30 percent equity, which this hand can realize.

I missed this ace-heavy flop completely with 7h-Ts; my only equity is a weak heart draw. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building it against the preflop caller who likely holds an ace.

I have 25 offsuit on a paired ace board with no draw, and the small blind checked. Checking is the only sensible option; a bluff has almost no fold equity against any ace or pair.

I have 25 offsuit with no pair and no draw on a paired ace board, so there is no value in betting. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids bluffing into a preflop raiser who may still have an ace or queen.

I hold aces-up with the board pairing favoring my tens; a small river bet extracts thin value from AQ/AJ-type hands that check-called preflop, while staying cheap enough to fold if raised by a flush, straight, or full house.

I have 2-5 with no pair and no made hand on a paired ace board, so calling a river bet is unprofitable. Folding avoids putting more chips in with air.

King-three offsuit is far too weak to play even from the button in a 3-handed game; folding preserves chips for better spots.

43o is too weak to continue out of position for another half-blind against the big blind after the button folds.

J8o is playable from the button in three-handed poker, so I open to 2.5bb to take the initiative rather than limp or fold.

AJ offsuit is strong enough to 3-bet from the small blind against a button open, aiming to isolate and build a pot with a hand that plays well against calling ranges.

J8s is far too weak to call 7bb more against a raise-and-reraise sequence; I'm dominated by strong ranges and out of position. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

J8o is too weak to continue against a 3-bet; calling or 4-betting would be -EV with this offsuit junk.

6-8 offsuit is a weak hand not worth playing from the button facing action; folding preserves chips.

8c6s offsuit is a weak hand against the big blind's likely range, and calling 50 into a marginal spot heads-up has little edge. Folding preserves chips for better opportunities.
