Hold'em table

Pocket jacks are a strong button opening hand three-handed. Raising to 300 builds value while keeping the sizing standard.

24 offsuit is too weak to continue against a preflop raise; folding preserves chips.

Facing a 200-chip call with 85 offsuit, a weak hand out of position against a button raise, folding is the sound low-EV choice in a 3-handed game.

Three-handed on the button, 95s is a marginal but playable steal. A small open takes the initiative cheaply and can win the blinds or continue if called.

AKs is a strong hand that plays well against a button open, so I'm raising to 800 for value and to take initiative rather than just calling 200.

Pocket tens are strong enough to continue against the small blind's three-bet, but a cold four-bet risks committing too much against stronger hands. Calling keeps weaker hands in and preserves flexibility postflop.

95s is too weak to continue after a 3-bet and a cold call; the price does not justify playing a dominated suited hand multiway.

As the preflop aggressor with overcards and a backdoor flush draw, a continuation bet of about half the pot can win the pot now or build value if called.

Pocket tens have enough equity to call this flop bet, especially against possible unpaired overcards. Raising would risk too much against a queen or overpair.

I have only ace-high on a paired queen board, and seat_1 has called two streets, so checking keeps the pot controlled and avoids bloating it without a made hand.

TT has showdown value on the paired board. Checking keeps the pot manageable against stronger pairs or a queen while leaving room to bluff-catch on the river.

I have only ace-high on a paired board, so I'm checking for a free showdown rather than bluffing into a player who called the flop and then checked the turn.

Pocket tens have good showdown value on this paired board. A bet is unlikely to get called often enough by worse hands, so I’ll take the free showdown.

Calling 100 chips from the button is cheap with position, and 3-6 offsuit is too weak to raise profitably here.

KTo is strong enough to raise against a button limp. Raising to 500 pressures the big blind and charges the limper while I'm out of position.

J4o is too weak to continue facing a raise to 500, especially out of position with the button still live. Folding avoids putting more chips in with a dominated offsuit hand.

Seven-two-ish trash (3s6d) facing a raise to 500 with 400 to call; the hand has poor playability and no strong equity, so folding is the disciplined choice.

8-3 offsuit is too weak to open profitably from the button against two opponents.

85o is too weak to complete or raise out of position against the big blind, so I give up the small blind rather than play a dominated hand.

KJo is strong enough to open from the button in a three-handed game, and a 3bb raise builds the pot while folding out weak hands.

Queen-deuce offsuit is a weak hand to call 250 out of position against a button open to 300, so folding loses the least.

Calling 200 with 9-7 offsuit is reasonable against a button open, especially with the folded small blind's chips in the pot. I can reassess on the flop.

Middle pair with a weak kicker has showdown value, but I’m out of position against the preflop raiser. Checking keeps the pot manageable and lets me assess their bet.

I have a king-high flush draw plus an overcard as the preflop raiser, and the big blind checked. A half-pot continuation bet takes the initiative and can fold out worse hands while building the pot when I improve.

Middle pair is strong enough to continue against a small button continuation bet, though the weak kicker makes a raise unattractive.

My pair of sevens has some showdown value and a gutshot, but the turn also adds a flush draw. Checking keeps the pot manageable while I see how the button responds.

King-high with no pair or draw has little value against a flop caller, so I check behind rather than barrel.

Third pair has some showdown value, but a river bet is unlikely to get called by many worse hands. Checking avoids building the pot against stronger pairs or straights.

King-high has no showdown value, but the flop caller is unlikely to fold often enough for a river bluff to be profitable, so I take the free showdown.

A3 offsuit is marginal, but the call is only 100 chips with an ace and position, so seeing a cheap flop is reasonable.

Completing costs 50 into a 250-chip pot. The suited hand has enough potential against a button limp to see a flop, though I'll proceed cautiously out of position.

QT offsuit is playable but not strong enough to raise two limpers from the big blind, so I take the free flop.

Bottom pair with no spade is a weak hand on a monotone flop, especially out of position against two opponents. Checking keeps the pot small.

I have a spade flush draw plus a queen overcard on a checked flop, so a small semi-bluff builds the pot and can take it down now.

I have a four-flush draw with the ace-high backdoor, about 35% equity against a 200 bet into a 700 pot that needs roughly 22%, so calling is profitable.

Bottom pair with a weak kicker and no spade has poor equity against a bet and a call on a monotone flop. Playing out of position makes a call unattractive.

I have top pair plus a spade flush draw on a wet board, so a two-thirds pot bet gets value from worse pairs and draws while denying free cards.

I hold a four-spade flush draw with 11 outs, about 24% to hit, versus the 29% pot odds needed, but implied odds against an aggressive seat_2 justify calling 500.

I have queens and fives, which beats most of a sticky calling range, and only a five or a flush is ahead. A small river bet gets value from pairs and overpairs without bloating the pot.

I hold A-high with no pair, no straight, and no flush, and the board is paired on the river. Seat_2 has bet all three streets, so a pair or better is likely, and 600 to call into a 2300 pot does not justify a call with ace-high.
