Hold'em table

Closing the action heads-up from the small blind, Q2 suited-equivalent in value only by queen high is worth completing for 50 chips with favorable pot odds.

AKo is a strong hand against a small-blind limp, so I raise for value and take the initiative. Making it 4x (400 total) keeps position-out-of-hand pots manageable.

Q2 offsuit is too weak to defend against a large big-blind raise, especially out of position.

A-K offsuit is a strong button opening hand three-handed. I raise to a standard 2.5bb size to build the pot while retaining flexibility.

75o from the small blind facing a button open is too weak to call out of position, with the big blind still left to act.

QJo is strong enough to call a button open from the big blind with good pot odds, and I avoid bloating the pot out of position with a marginal hand.

No made hand or strong draw on a king-high board; checking keeps the pot small and lets me see the opponent's action before committing more chips.

Betting top pair with the ace kicker for value and protection on this moderately coordinated board.

I have only Q-high with no draw on a king-high board, and facing a raise from the button after they raised preflop, my hand is too weak to continue. Folding saves chips for better spots.

Three-handed on the button, 95s is a playable suited hand for a standard steal. Raising to 2.5bb applies pressure on both blinds.

Weak hand (2c8c) out of position facing a raise; folding is the disciplined play to avoid bleeding chips with poor equity.

8-high with a weak kicker is far too weak to defend against a button raise at this sizing.

54o is too weak to continue against two blinds, especially out of position with no invested chips. Folding preserves my stack for better opportunities.

With 4-3 offsuit heads-up from the small blind, completing has poor equity and playability versus the big blind.

Open-raising K7 offsuit on the button leverages position and should profitably pressure the blinds.

96o from the small blind facing a button open to 2.5bb, with the big blind still to act behind, is a clear fold. Calling out of position with a weak offsuit hand loses money.

A3o is weak but getting good pot odds to defend the big blind against a button open, so calling is profitable.

Top two pair is strong but the board has diamond draws to protect against, so I lead around half pot for value and protection.

Kh7s has no pair, no meaningful draw, and only weak backdoor possibilities on an ace-high two-diamond board. Folding to the continuation bet preserves chips.

A8o is a clear open from the button in a 3-handed game, so I'm raising to 2.5bb to take the initiative and pressure the blinds.

Calling with K3s suited is reasonable getting 2:1 odds in a short-handed game, despite being out of position.

K7 offsuit is too weak to defend profitably against a button raise and small-blind call in this multiway spot.

I have only King-high with a backdoor flush draw, so checking keeps the pot small and lets me see the turn for free.

The paired, dry board favors me as the preflop raiser, and my ace high has some showdown value plus backdoor outs. A small c-bet of about a third of the pot folds out many of the SB's hands.
