Hold'em table

On the button in a 3-handed game, K5o is strong enough to open-raise and attack the blinds. A 3bb raise applies pressure and gives me position if called.

Q4 offsuit plays poorly out of position against a 3-big-blind button raise, with the big blind still to act.

A2o plays poorly out of position facing a 3x open from the button, making it a clear fold.

A6 offsuit is strong enough to open on the button three-handed. A 2.5-big-blind raise gives me a chance to win the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

In 3-handed play, the button opens a very wide range. Re-raising to 900 with KJo takes initiative, puts pressure on the button's weak opens, and discourages the big blind from entering.

I have an offsuit 5-8 in the big blind facing a button raise and a small-blind three-bet. This is a clear fold with a weak holding and no pot odds to continue.

A6 offsuit plays poorly against this large 3-bet, even in position. Folding avoids a costly pot with a dominated hand.

T6o is too weak to open from the button even in 3-handed play.

With 6-7 offsuit on the button in a 3-handed game, I can call the small blind for 100 chips and see a cheap flop with position. Raising risks too much with a marginal hand, while folding gives up a playable speculative holding.

A2 offsuit is worth completing for 50 chips given the pot odds, but it plays poorly enough out of position that I prefer not to raise.

Check my option with Q9o in the big blind to see a free flop three-way.

Ace-high has some showdown value, but betting into two opponents on this paired, club-heavy flop is unlikely to accomplish much. Checking keeps the pot small.

I have queen-high with no draw on a paired board and checking allows me to realize equity for free while out of position.

My hand has little equity on this paired board, and both opponents have already checked. Checking in position keeps the pot small and lets me see a free turn.

Ace-high has some showdown value, but a turn bet into two opponents is unlikely to get enough better hands to fold. Checking keeps the pot small.

I hit top pair on the turn after a checked-around flop, so I am betting two-thirds of the pot for value and protection.

I have only a weak gutshot draw with 6-7 on an 8-8-4-Q board, and calling 200 into 500 offers insufficient pot odds with one card to come. Folding avoids further investment with a likely dominated hand.

Ace-high with no meaningful draw is too weak to continue against this turn bet, especially with another street to play.

Q8 offsuit is strong enough to open on the button three-handed. A 2.5-big-blind raise gives me a chance to win the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

Folding 98o out of position from the small blind against a button open.

2d6c is a weak offsuit hand and the button has raised to 250; calling 150 out of position with poor equity is not profitable, so I fold.

K5s is a standard open-raising hand from the button in 3-handed play to put pressure on the blinds.

T6s has enough equity against a small button raise and closing the action for 150 into 350 is acceptable; I'll take a cheap flop with a suited hand.

Calling 100 closes the preflop action in a 500-chip pot. The price is good enough to see a flop with a suited hand, though I’ll be cautious with weak pairs.

With no pair and only a weak backdoor heart draw on an Ace-high flop, checking keeps the pot small and avoids bluffing into two opponents.

Weak middle pair in a three-way pot is better played cautiously, especially with an ace and a club draw on the board.

In a three-way pot on an ace-high board with king-high and minimal draw equity, checking behind is safer than bluffing into two players.

With T-high and no draw on a paired ace-high board, I have no showdown value and no reason to put chips in. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me fold to any bet.

My weak seven makes a marginal two-pair hand on the paired-ace board. Checking controls the pot against two opponents, either of whom could have an ace.

Both opponents have checked twice on an Ace-heavy paired board, signaling weakness. A small delayed c-bet can fold out better high cards and marginal pairs.

My Ten-high hand has no pair or meaningful draw on a paired Ace board, and seat_3 has shown strength by raising preflop and betting the turn. Calling 250 with almost no equity is not profitable.

Two pair is strong enough to call a small turn bet, but raising would risk building a pot against an ace or a better two pair.

My two pair has showdown value, but a river bet is unlikely to get called by many worse hands. Checking avoids building the pot against an ace or a completed flush.

I have King-high with no club blocker on a river that completed the flush draw. Opponent's turn calling range has plenty of made flushes, Aces, and sticky pairs, making a bluff unprofitable without relevant blockers.
