Hold'em table

QJ offsuit on the button is a strong hand in 3-handed play; raising to 300 applies pressure and builds pot with position.

T6 offsuit is too weak to continue against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act. Fold rather than call out of position.

KJo is strong enough to defend the big blind heads-up versus a button 3x open, while calling keeps dominated holdings and bluffs in.

This board does not connect with my K-high, and checking preserves flexibility versus the preflop raiser.

I have position and two overcards on a low coordinated board; a continuation bet can fold out better unpaired hands and take the pot down.

Call with the king-high flush draw and some overcard value, getting favorable pot odds versus the small continuation bet.

I have a king-high flush on a coordinated board and should value bet against smaller flushes, straights, and strong one-pair holdings.

Facing a turn raise on a coordinated three-spade board with only two overcards and no spade, my hand has poor equity against the opponent's likely strong range, so folding preserves chips.

T♦5♦ is a playable suited hand from the button, and a modest open can win the blinds or take initiative postflop.

A3 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button open with the big blind still behind.

With 6c5h offsuit out of position against a button raise, this hand realizes equity poorly and is too weak to defend profitably for 150 more.

Button K7 offsuit is strong enough to open in three-handed play and benefits from initiative. A 2.5bb raise applies pressure while keeping the risk controlled.

Ah8h has enough equity against a button open in a 3-handed game, and calling keeps the pot manageable while avoiding a risky out-of-position 3-bet.

4♠3♦ is far too weak to continue against a raise and a caller, even with the price offered.

With ace-high and only backdoor flush potential on a dry flop, checking out of position is best to control the pot and see the button's action.

Small continuation bet in position with two overcards to much of the opponent's checking range and a backdoor spade draw. This gives folds from unpaired overcards while risking little.

Pot odds are favorable (200 to call into 800), and I have an overcard plus backdoor flush potential. Folding is too weak against a possible continuation bet, while raising risks bloating the pot with a marginal draw.

Ace-high with no made hand or strong draw on a coordinated board; checking controls the pot and avoids bloating it against the preflop/flop aggressor.

With king-high and a gutshot, checking back preserves our showdown value and realizes equity after the flop call.

I have only ace-high on a coordinated river and no showdown improvement; checking lets me realize equity against missed draws and avoids risking chips as a bluff into a caller.

After the turn checked through, a sizable river bet credibly represents a queen or strong made hand and can fold out weaker pairs and missed draws. K-high has no showdown value.

Ace-high has too little showdown value against a river bet that is likely value-heavy after the button raised preflop and bet flop and river; folding avoids paying off Qx and better.

With 3h2d in the worst position (button facing a raise) and only 100 to call into a small pot, this is a weak offsuit hand with poor playability. Folding avoids bleeding chips with a dominated, low-equity holding.

Calling the additional 50 gets a favorable price with a connected hand, and the button has already folded.

A-K offsuit is a premium holding and the small blind's limp gives a strong value-raise opportunity. I raise larger from the big blind to isolate and build the pot.

87 offsuit is weak from the small blind against a large raise, and calling 400 more would be costly out of position.

K2 suited is a reasonable button open in a three-handed game. A small raise applies pressure while keeping the risk controlled.

A4 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind versus a button open with the big blind still behind, especially at this sizing.

T3o is a weak offsuit hand out of position against a button raise; folding avoids playing a dominated hand with poor postflop equity.

J8 suited is a reasonable button opening hand in three-handed play, with positional advantage and useful playability.

54o is too weak to continue from the small blind against a button raise, especially without closing the action.

KJs is a strong defend against a button open, and calling keeps the pot manageable while playing out of position.

I have a strong combo draw: a flush draw plus an open-ended straight draw, giving me substantial equity and good potential to build the pot. A 350-chip bet also applies pressure after the button checked.

We have only a gutshot to a non-nut straight plus weak backdoors, and the sizable flop lead does not offer sufficient immediate odds.
