Hold'em table

K5 offsuit is a weak hand from the button facing a raise-limp scenario in a 3-handed game; folding preserves chips for better spots.

95o is too weak to call or raise out of position against the big blind, so I give up the small blind rather than play a dominated hand.

Q5 offsuit is too weak and poorly connected to open from the button in a three-handed game, so folding preserves chips.

Pocket nines are a strong hand heads-up; raising builds the pot and applies pressure to the big blind rather than letting them see a cheap flop.

Heads-up after button folds, QJo plays well as a 3-bet against a min-raise to seize initiative and fold out weaker hands.

Pocket nines are strong enough to call a 3-bet in position; I have implied odds to set-mine or win with an overpair on the flop without committing my stack preflop.

I flopped a set of nines on a two-diamond board, so I want to build the pot while draws are still out there. A solid value bet of 1200 into 1800 pressures any flush draws and gets action from tens, fives, or two pair.

With the button folded it's heads-up against the big blind, and Ace-high hands play well as a raise to take initiative and build the pot.

56o is too weak to continue against a raise; pot odds do not compensate for poor equity and reverse implied odds.

Button raise with Ace-x is standard in 3-handed play to build pot and take initiative.

ATo is ahead of a button 2.5x open often enough to 3-bet for value and fold equity, and raising isolates better than calling out of position with the big blind still to act.

AKs is near the top of my range and both opponents have shown heavy aggression; a 4-bet to 2200 isolates and builds a pot where I have strong equity, while still leaving room to get away if they jam over me.

Facing two re-raises with A2 offsuit is a clear fold; too many chips invested for a marginal hand against likely strong ranges.

ATo is too weak to continue out of position against a 22bb 4-bet after the opener folds. Calling has reverse implied odds and a 4-bet shove would be a large overplay.

K8o is playable as a button open in three-handed. A raise to 300 builds the pot and takes the initiative before the blinds act.

J4o is far too weak to defend a 3x button open out of position with only the BB behind. Folding loses just 50 chips and avoids playing a dominated hand.

Offsuit 7-10 facing a raise is weak; folding is cheap and preserves chips against a button open.

T7 offsuit is a weak hand even from the button in 3-handed play; folding preserves chips for better spots.

Cheap call to see a flop heads-up with a live king-high hand and good pot odds.

52 offsuit is too weak to raise, and checking is free with no bet to call.

K-high with no pair or draw on a Q54 board; checking to control pot size and see next card cheaply.

Bottom pair with a deuce kicker has thin showdown value on a queen-high board, so I check rather than inflate the pot out of position.

King-high with no pair or draw on a checked-through board; checking to see the river cheaply is best since I have no value to bet.

I have a weak pair of fives in a limped pot after the opponent checked the turn, so checking preserves showdown value without bloating the pot.

King-high with no made hand; checking to showdown is best since betting risks a raise from a made hand.

I have two pair, fives and deuces, and the opponent has checked every street, so a pot-sized value bet can get called by worse pairs and ace-high while folding out nothing.

King-high with no pair or draw on a queen-high board; a river bet after checked-through streets likely beats me, so folding is best.
