Hold'em table

9-6 offsuit is too weak to play from the button in a 3-handed pot, especially with two players still to act behind me preflop.

In a blind-versus-blind scenario with an Ace, raising to 3bb applies standard preflop pressure.

J♥T♥ plays well in position against a small-blind raise. Calling keeps weaker hands in and avoids building a large pot preflop.

Flopped two pair on a draw-heavy ace-high board; betting for value and protection against draws and weaker aces.

J-high has no immediate draw or flush backdoor on this ace-high flop. With only weak runner-runner possibilities, calling the bet is unlikely to be profitable.

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

JTo is strong enough to raise heads-up against the big blind, though I'll play the rest of the hand out of position.

AJs is a strong hand in a 3-handed blind battle and is ahead of the small blind's likely wide raising range. I 3-bet for value and to take the initiative.

JTo plays poorly out of position against a three-bet, and calling another 600 chips risks difficult postflop decisions.

Q2 offsuit is too weak to open profitably from the button against two players at full stacks.

Button folded, leaving heads-up SB vs BB. TJo is strong enough to raise for initiative and value against a wide BB range.

Defending K8s in position against a standard SB open getting 2.3:1 pot odds.

I raised preflop and the A-high flop favors my perceived range, so a half-pot continuation bet can fold out better unpaired hands and take down the pot.

I completely missed this Ace-high board with King-high and have no meaningful draw, making this an easy fold against a continuation bet.

7-5 offsuit is too weak to contest from the button against two blinds preflop, so folding avoids unnecessary risk.

J6o is too weak to complete or raise from the small blind against the big blind.

74s is too weak to open profitably even from the button 3-handed. Folding is standard.

Ace-high is strong enough to raise against a lone big blind. Raising to 300 pressures their range without committing too much out of position.

46o is too weak to defend against a 3x SB raise; it lacks playability and will often miss the flop, making a call unprofitable.

Eight-three offsuit is too weak to play from the button against two live blinds, even with position.

2d4s is too weak to defend out of position; folding avoids playing a dominated hand despite the 3:1 pot odds.
