Hold'em table

K3o is too weak to open profitably even on the button in 3-handed play.

J2 suited is playable heads-up against the big blind. A small raise gives me a chance to win the pot now while keeping the investment modest.

AQo is strong enough to 3-bet for value and pressure the small blind's open, while also denying equity from worse hands.

J2 suited is too weak to continue out of position against a sizable three-bet.

6-3 offsuit is too weak to profitably open from the button against two live blinds.

Button folded, and AJ suited is strong heads-up in the small blind; raising applies pressure and builds the pot for value.

Defending the big blind in position against a 3bb small blind open with A4o is standard given pot odds and position.

I raised preflop and have overcards plus a backdoor flush draw; a small continuation bet on this dry board can fold out BB's misses and build the pot when I improve.

I completely missed the flop with A4o out of position against a continuation bet, making a fold straightforward.

J8o on the button with only blinds in, raising applies pressure and takes control with position.

A6s is a prime candidate for a 3-bet bluff from the small blind against a button open, providing good blocker value and postflop playability.

JTs plays well postflop, but calling this large three-bet cold risks a multiway pot with dominated draws and the button still to act.

J8o is too weak to continue against a 3-bet from the small blind, and calling 700 more would require significant equity that this hand lacks.

Opening to 2.5bb from the button with AJo is a standard value open in 3-handed play.

J5 offsuit plays poorly out of position against a button raise, with the big blind still to act.

I have 8-3 offsuit in the big blind facing a button raise; it is too weak to continue out of position, so I fold.

Five-deuce offsuit is too weak to open on the button against two live blinds.

A8o is strong enough to raise heads-up against a random big blind; raising takes the initiative and can win the pot immediately.

Getting 2.33-to-1 pot odds in position blind-versus-blind, A4o has more than sufficient equity to call a standard SB open.

Continuation bet with ace-high and backdoor straight potential; can fold out better unpaired hands and take down the pot.

I have middle pair with top kicker on a dry board, getting good pot odds against a c-bet.

We have ace-high with a gutshot straight draw and an overcard. Betting applies pressure, denies equity to draws, and can fold out better hands like weak pairs.

We hold second pair with an Ace kicker and a gutshot wheel draw (plus Ace and 4 outs to improve), getting sufficient pot odds and implied odds to call the turn bet.

I have a straight (A-2-3-4-5) and should bet for value on the river. A bet of 2500 into 2600 builds the pot and can get called by Kx or two pair.

I hold a wheel straight (A-2-3-4-5). Raising only gets action from a six which beats me, while calling captures value against bluffs, two pairs, sets, and chops with other aces.

K2o is weak, but on the button in a 3-handed game a raise can steal the blinds or isolate. I'll raise to 300 to apply pressure and take the initiative.

94o is complete trash facing a button open raise; folding is standard.

QJo is strong enough to defend the big blind against a button raise, but a call keeps the pot manageable out of position.

I missed this ace-high paired flop, and the preflop raiser has position and an ace-range advantage. Checking avoids building the pot with queen-high.

The board is paired with an ace and my K-high has little showdown value; checking back in position controls the pot and lets me see a free turn.

I have only a gutshot and no heart draw. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me see whether the button bets.

I have only king-high on a paired board and no real draw, so checking behind is best; the opponent has checked twice and I can see a free river rather than bluff into a likely made hand.

Q-J plays the board here. A small river bet can win the whole pot when another hand playing the board folds, while limiting the cost when called by a better hand.
