Hold'em table

Ace-ten offsuit is a strong button hand in a three-player pot. Raise to 300 to apply pressure to the blinds while building value.

72 offsuit is the worst starting hand and has no equity justification to call a button raise from the small blind.

JTo is strong enough to defend the big blind against a standard button open in 3-handed play getting over 2:1 pot odds.

Check to the preflop aggressor out of position with top pair decent kicker to control the pot size and protect our checking range.

Bet for value with top pair and the best kicker while charging heart draws and overcards. A moderate sizing keeps weaker pairs and draws in while protecting my hand.

I have top pair with a decent kicker on a Th-6h-2c board; calling a half-pot c-bet is standard to keep in bluffs and worse hands.

Second pair with a Jack kicker on an Ace turn is a clear check from out of position to control the pot.

I have strong two pair and should value-bet while charging heart draws and weaker pairs. A 700-chip bet is a substantial but controlled fraction of the pot.

The Ace on the turn heavily favors the preflop raiser's range, and second pair with a mediocre kicker out of position does not have sufficient equity to continue against a double barrel.

KTo is ahead of a button open range three-handed, so I raise to 2.5bb to take the initiative rather than flat the big blind.

Q5o is a weak offsuit holding that plays poorly out of position facing a button open raise; folding is the standard play.

K-high has enough equity against a button’s wide raise, and the price is favorable with the small blind’s chips already in the pot. I’ll call and evaluate the flop.

I have only king-high with no meaningful draw on this connected flop, so I’ll take the free option and avoid inflating the pot.

I have top pair with a king kicker on a dry board after the big blind checks. A small value bet builds the pot and denies free equity.

King-high has no pair or meaningful draw on this connected flop, and calling 200 would be too costly against the raise.

Q2o is too weak to open from the button even in 3-handed play. Folding is standard.

K3 offsuit is weak, but the small blind is getting a favorable price heads-up. I’ll complete and avoid inflating the pot out of position.

Ace-ten suited is ahead of a small-blind limp range, and with the button folded I raise to 400 for value and to take the initiative heads-up.

K-3 offsuit is too weak to continue from the small blind against a substantial raise, especially out of position.

T9 offsuit is a reasonable button open in a three-handed game. Raising applies pressure to the blinds while keeping the size modest.

56 offsuit is too weak to continue from the small blind against a button open, so folding is the highest-EV option.

Facing a 3bb open from the button, K8o does not have enough equity and playability out of position to justify a call.

KQo is a strong button hand, so I open to 3bb to build the pot and take the initiative rather than flat the blinds.

Holding 7d 3c from the small blind against a button open is an easy fold with virtually zero equity and poor playability.

K2 offsuit is too weak to defend out of position against a 3× button raise, despite the dead small blind increasing the pot odds.

83o is far too weak to open raise or play even from the button in a 3-handed game.
