Hold'em table

We have a strong pocket pair (99) on the button in a 3-handed game. Raising to 300 builds the pot and puts pressure on the blinds.

AJs is a premium 3-betting hand out of the small blind against a button open to build the pot and seize initiative.

QJo is a marginal hand in a 3-way pot with significant aggression. Seat 1 raised to 300, seat 2 re-raised to 1100, and calling 1000 more commits significant chips to a hand that is likely dominated. Folding preserves equity for better spots.

Pocket nines are strong enough to call a 3-bet in position, especially three-handed. I avoid 4-betting to keep the pot manageable and use my positional advantage postflop.

I hold top pair top kicker in a 3-bet pot on a dynamic board. A small c-bet of roughly one-third pot extracts value and protects against straight draws.

8c 3s is far too weak to open or play from the button, even 3-handed. Folding is standard.

With Ad8h from the small blind after the button folds, raising to 300 (3x the big blind) is a standard aggressive play. This exploits the likely weakness of the big blind and builds the pot when I have position post-flop.

A5o has enough equity against a wide small blind raise and we will have position postflop since the button folded, making calling profitable.

With Ace-high and a moderate flop (7h-Jd-2h), checking is prudent to see if seat_1 barrels or checks behind, gathering information. My hand has some showdown value and potential to improve.

I have a weak A-high with only a backdoor flush draw and no made hand. Since seat_3 checked and I am in position, taking a free turn card is the lower-risk, higher-EV play rather than bluffing into an unknown holding.

I have 8h-Ad with a pair of eights on the turn. The board is 7h-Jd-2h-8s, giving me a pair. Seat 1 checked the flop, indicating weakness. I should check the turn to keep the pot manageable and avoid overcommitting with a mediocre hand while gathering more information about Seat 1's holding.

We have the nut flush draw with an overcard, and villain has shown weakness by checking twice. Betting 400 (2/3 pot) can win the pot now or build it for our draw.

I have 8-high with an ace kicker, which is weak on a coordinated board with 7-J-2-8. Seat_1 raised on the turn, indicating strength. Calling 400 more chips risks significant equity loss; folding preserves my stack for better spots.

Pocket tens is a premium hand heads-up; raising to 300 builds the pot and puts pressure on the big blind.

J6s is a standard defend in position against a small blind open getting 2:1 direct odds.

Continuation bet with pocket tens on an Ace-high flop to represent strength, protect against overcards and draws, and extract value from worse pairs or draws that might call.

We hold second pair in position getting 3-to-1 against a standard continuation bet on an Ace-high dry board.

I have second pair, but the ace on board and my opponent's two calls make me likely behind. Checking keeps the pot manageable and avoids being raised off a hand with showdown value.

I have third pair with a Jack kicker. Checking back behind the turn check controls the pot and allows me to see a river card with moderate showdown value.

TT has showdown value on an Ace-high board. Betting would likely only get called by better Ax hands and fold worse pairs, so checking is the best way to see a showdown and avoid value-owning myself.

I have third pair with decent showdown value against missed high-card c-bets, and betting won't get called by worse.

Opening from the button with 97o to steal blinds; 2.5x is standard.

Q6o is far too weak to defend out of position against a button open with the big blind left to act.

Q4o is a weak hand in this spot. Seat_1 raised to 250 from the button, and calling 150 more commits significant chips to a marginal holding. Folding preserves chips for better opportunities.

J4o is too weak of an offsuit hand to open even from the button in 3-handed play.

T4o is a weak holding in 3-handed play, and folding the small blind against the big blind's raise is standard when facing a min-raise or standard bet with a marginal hand. Preserving chips is better than fighting from a weak position.

9-2o is the worst hand in poker. Even from the button, this hand has poor equity against any reasonable range, and folding minimizes losses in a weak position.

Q3o is a weak hand and we are out of position against the big blind; folding avoids losing more chips.
