Hold'em table

K9 suited on the button in a 3-handed game is a clear opening hand, so I'm raising to 2.5bb to steal the blinds with good equity if called.

Q9 suited plays well versus a button open in a three-handed game, and calling keeps weaker hands and the big blind in while avoiding an unnecessarily bloated pot.

KQ offsuit is strong enough to 3-bet for value and to try to narrow the field against two limp-callers.

K9s is too often dominated against a big-blind squeeze to 9bb with a cold caller in the hand. The small blind could also still 4-bet behind me, so folding is cleaner than calling 650.

Q9 suited has adequate equity and playability against a likely wide blind squeeze in this short-handed spot, despite being out of position.

I have a strong queen-high diamond flush draw and can apply pressure after the preflop aggressor checks. A small-to-medium continuation bet retains fold equity while building a pot for favorable turns.

I have no pair and no draw on an ace-high board, facing a donk-bet from a player who called my 3bet preflop; continuing has poor equity.

Suited 98 plays well in position three-handed and is strong enough to open-raise for value and initiative.

2-7 offsuit is the worst starting hand; facing a raise with weak equity, folding is correct.

73o is too weak to defend out of position against a 3x button open, even getting 200 to win 650; folding is standard.

A5s is a decent button steal/raise hand against two players; raising to 250 builds the pot and leverages position with a playable hand.

82o in the small blind facing a button open, with the big blind still to act, is a clear fold.

A8 offsuit is a strong candidate to 3-bet versus a button open heads-up, leveraging likely range advantage while denying equity out of position.

A5 offsuit doesn't play well against a 3-bet of this size; folding avoids committing more chips with a weak hand.

Three-handed on the button, Q3o is a marginal but acceptable steal against two blinds, so I'm opening to a small 2.5bb.

Pocket twos have sufficient implied odds to call the small open at 100bb stacks, especially with the big blind still in. Folding is too tight and a squeeze risks overplaying a marginal pair.

5-7 offsuit is weak, facing a raise and a call; not worth defending out of position with poor equity.

Bottom set is a strong value hand on this coordinated, two-diamond board. I bet to charge the numerous draws while retaining calls from one-pair hands.

Gutshot to a strong straight plus an overcard and a backdoor flush draw. In position, getting about 2.3:1 with implied odds, calling is better than folding or turning it into a bluff-raise.

Our underpair has limited value on this paired, coordinated board. Checking preserves showdown value against missed draws and avoids inflating the pot versus a likely stronger flop-calling range.

I only have a gutshot to a ten plus a queen overcard against a range that led the flop, so I'll take the free river card. Betting into a capped but likely made range on a paired board risks a check-raise.

Our pocket twos have limited showdown value but are unlikely to get better one-pair hands to fold on this coordinated paired board. Checking realizes equity against missed diamond draws.

Queen-high has almost no showdown value after the busted draw. Villain checked the turn and the river, which signals weakness, so a two-thirds-pot bluff can fold out weak pairs and many 9x hands.

Bottom pair has almost no showdown value against this river bet on a paired, coordinated board. Folding avoids calling with a hand that is beaten by most of the opponent's value range.

Fold the very weak 4-3 offsuit on the button rather than enter a multiway pot with poor equity and playability.

A-T suited is a strong hand heads-up against the big blind after the button folded; raising to build the pot and apply pressure.

Getting 2:1 in the big blind against a wide small-blind steal range, 86s plays well in position, so a call beats folding.

I have overcard equity with A-high and should continue applying pressure as preflop aggressor on this dry-ish King-high board.

An open-ended straight draw (a 6 or T completes it) is getting 350 to win 1300, about 27% pot odds against roughly 32% equity plus implied odds, so calling is profitable. Raising would bloat the pot out of position against a range that is strong on a king-high board.

I have only ace-high with no pair or strong draw on a king-high board, so I'll check to control the pot and reassess based on seat_1's action.

Villain gave up after the flop c-bet, so a semi-bluff with our open-ended straight draw (8 outs) can win the pot now through fold equity and still has equity when called.

I have just ace-high with no pair or draw on a king-high board; facing a turn raise after checking, folding is clearly correct given my weak holding.

KQ offsuit is a strong button hand; raising to build the pot and take initiative against two limpers.

73o from the small blind facing a button open with the big blind still to act is a clear fold; it plays poorly out of position.

7c6d is a marginal offsuit defend facing a 3bb button open out of position. Folding avoids realizing weak equity against a likely stronger opening range.
