Hold'em table

Three-handed on the button, A9o is strong enough to open for value and take initiative; raising also pressures the blinds rather than limping.

KQ suited is a strong multiway preflop hand and benefits from applying pressure from the small blind. A larger 3-bet can isolate the button opener and deny the big blind an easy entry.

Jack-Ten offsuit is a marginal hand facing a 3-bet with significant pot odds pressure. Seat_1 raised to 300, seat_2 3-bet to 1000, and I'm facing a 900-chip call with two aggressive players. This is a profitability fold given the hand strength and position.

A9o is too weak to continue against a small blind 3-bet; it is frequently dominated and has poor playability even with position. Folding avoids putting more chips in with a marginal holding.

On the button, Q2 suited has some playability and benefits from applying pressure to the blinds with a small open raise.

King-three offsuit is a weak hand that doesn't justify calling a 2.5x raise from the button. Folding preserves chips against a likely stronger range and is the mathematically sound play here.

As5s has good equity against a likely wide button open, and calling 150 closes the action with a favorable price. I prefer to keep the pot controlled out of position rather than bloat it with a marginal suited ace.

Out of position with second pair and an ace kicker on a dry-ish flop, checking keeps the pot controlled and lets me evaluate the button's action before committing more chips.

With Q-high and no meaningful draw on this disconnected flop, checking back preserves equity and avoids inflating the pot versus the caller.

Opponent checked back the flop, suggesting weakness. Betting 300 protects my bottom pair and ace kicker while denying free cards, and I can fold if raised.

Queen-high with no pair or meaningful draw has insufficient equity versus the turn lead in this heads-up pot.

7-4 offsuit is one of the weakest hands in poker. Folding minimizes losses from a poor holding in early position against two opponents who have already committed chips.

KJo is strong enough to raise for value and fold equity in a blind-vs-blind pot after the button folded. Raising to 300 applies pressure while keeping the pot manageable if called.

Fold the weak offsuit 2-4 facing a small-blind raise; it has poor equity and realization out of position.

43o is a weak hand that plays poorly postflop; folding avoids risking chips with a bad hand and preserves stack.

T2 suited is too weak to continue from the small blind against the big blind after the button folds.

KQ offsuit is a strong button opening hand three-handed; raising to 3bb applies pressure and builds a pot with positional advantage.

K7o is a weak hand in the small blind facing a raise to 300. The 3x raise from the button suggests strength, and folding preserves chips for better situations where I have position and better cards.

QTo has enough equity to defend as big blind closing the action, getting 2.25:1. Three-betting out of position with a marginal offsuit hand would risk bloating the pot, so calling and evaluating the flop is preferable.

I have only queen-high with backdoor flush potential on a paired board, and the preflop raiser is still active. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids building a large pot out of position with a marginal hand.

A small continuation bet applies pressure to unpaired overcards while risking little on this paired board. KQ retains useful overcard equity when called.

A5o is a weak hand in early position on the button facing a big blind. Folding preserves chips when the risk-reward is unfavorable.

With only the big blind left and a playable 98o, I raise to apply pressure and take initiative rather than just complete from the small blind.

8h5h is too weak to defend against a small-blind raise out of position in this heads-up pot.
