Hold'em table

87o is too weak to reliably open profitably from the button even in 3-handed play.

K6 offsuit is too weak to continue out of position against the big blind after the button folds.

Three-handed on the button, J6s is a reasonable steal open; a small raise pressures the blinds more than a flat.

Six-king offsuit is weak and out of position against a button open, so folding avoids paying 200 chips to see a flop with poor playability.

Getting attractive pot odds in the big blind against a button open, A8o is comfortably strong enough to defend.

Check to the in-position preflop aggressor with an overcard and a gutshot straight draw.

I have two pair on a wet board and seat_1 checked, so a two-thirds-pot bet gets value from draws and worse pairs while keeping the pot manageable.

I hold only ace-high with no direct draw or backdoor flush draw on a coordinated flop, facing a bet out of position.

Queen-nine suited on the button is a playable hand in a three-handed pot, and calling 100 to see the flop keeps me in with good position at a low cost.

4s 2s is too weak to complete from the small blind out of position, even getting good pot odds against a limp.

T3 suited is too weak to raise out of position against a button limp, so I check and realize my equity cheaply.

Middle pair with a weak kicker out of position; checking keeps the pot small and sees what the button does.

I have top pair with queens and a 9 kicker, and seat_2 checked, so a value bet builds the pot while my hand is likely best.

Middle pair with a weak kicker is ahead of enough unpaired hands and draws to call 150 into 400 heads-up; raising bloats the pot against better tens and queens.

I have trip tens on a paired board and the pot is unopened, so a small value bet extracts chips from queens, eights, and draws without overplaying a weak kicker.

With a pair of queens and a gutshot to a straight, calling 350 into a 900 pot gives good pot odds, though the turn raise could mean a stronger hand, so I won't raise.

I have trip tens on a paired board and was the turn aggressor, so a half-pot river bet gets value from queens, jacks, and worse pairs while keeping the price manageable against possible straights and full houses.

With Qc9s on 8s Qh Td Th Jd I hold a straight to the queen, which is very strong, so I raise for value against a bettor who has shown aggression on every street.

Trip tens with a three kicker is a weak bluff-catcher on a board where any nine makes a straight and many full houses and better trip-ten kickers beat me. Seat 3's river raise looks like value, and 1400 more is not worth calling.

K9o is well within the standard 3-handed button opening range; raising to 2.5bb to apply pressure and build a pot in position.

75o is too weak to continue against a button open from the small blind, so folding avoids putting more chips in with a dominated hand.

Jack-nine offsuit is a playable hand, and calling 150 more to see the flop out of the big blind is a reasonable price against a button raise.

I have J-9 high with no pair against a paired board of 4-4-2, so checking keeps the pot small and gets a free look at the next card.

Checking behind on a paired board to realize equity with King-high and control the pot.

I hold 9-J with no pair on a board pairing the fours, so I have little showdown value and should check for a free card rather than bloat the pot.

Check behind on the turn with King-high to see a free river card and realize equity without facing a check-raise.

I have J-high with no pair on a paired board, and checking is free, so I take the showdown without adding chips.

We checked through flop and turn, giving King-high some showdown value against missed floats or Queen-highs without needing to risk chips bluffing into sticky hands.

Q4 offsuit is too weak to open even on the button in three-handed play, so folding avoids a dominated, poorly connected hand.

King-trey offsuit is marginal, but completing the small blind for 50 into a 3-handed pot is cheap and keeps the hand playable. Raising with this holding risks a lot without a strong edge.

I hold 5c 3s in the big blind facing a limp from the small blind; checking to see a free flop is the standard and best play.

Top pair with a king kicker on a dry K-6-2 board, so I'm betting for value while the big blind has only checked.

I hold five-high with only a gutshot straight draw facing a 3/4 pot bet out of position; the pot odds do not justify calling.

Calling 100 to see a flop from the button is cheap with positional advantage, though 9-5 offsuit is weak and folding is also reasonable.

Getting 5:1 pot odds to see a flop with a suited king after the button limp is a standard call from the small blind.

JTo is playable but I am out of position against two limpers, so checking keeps the pot small and realizes equity without bloating it.

I have top pair with a weak kicker in a 3-way pot out of position, making a check the standard play for pot control.

Middle pair with a jack kicker on a king-high flop is too thin to bet into two opponents, so I check and keep the pot small.

I have nine-high with no pair on a King-high board, and both opponents checked, so checking keeps the pot small and avoids investing more chips with a weak hand.

Second pair with a weak kicker on an ace-high board is best played as a check to keep the pot small out of position.

I have only a pair of tens on an ace-king board multiway, so checking keeps the pot small and sees a free river.

I have nothing but a 9-high on a board with an ace and king, and checking is free, so I take the free showdown rather than bluffing into two opponents who have already checked.

I have two pair (Aces and Kings with a Ten kicker) in a limped pot checked down to the river. Checking allows me to realize showdown value without bloating the pot against possible slowplayed Aces or straights.

Board aces mean my tens are only a thin two pair, and a river bet into two players gets called mostly by kings and aces that beat me. Checking realizes showdown value against missed hands.

I have only ace-high with 9-5 on a paired board, and both opponents have checked the river, so betting is unlikely to win more than it risks. Checking takes the free showdown.
