Hold'em table

Q8 offsuit is a reasonable button open three-handed, and a small raise pressures the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

AJo is strong against a button open in a three-handed game. A substantial three-bet builds value and pressures the opener while discouraging the big blind from entering cheaply.

T6o facing an open and a 3-bet from the small blind is far too weak to continue, and the original raiser is still left to act behind me.

Q8 offsuit is often dominated by a small-blind three-betting range, and calling 650 chips is unlikely to be profitable despite having position.

Q7 offsuit is a reasonable button open three-handed; raising applies pressure to the blinds and can win the pot preflop.

Q6o from the small blind facing a button open, with the big blind still left to act, is too weak to call out of position or to 3-bet profitably. Folding.

A-T offsuit is strong enough to three-bet against a button open. Raising to 1000 applies pressure while accounting for being out of position.

Q7 offsuit is too weak to continue against a large 3-bet; calling would put in 7.5 more big blinds with poor equity and playability.

Three-handed on the button, Q6o sits inside a standard wide opening range, so I'm stealing with a 2.5x open.

Seven-six suited can play well in a multiway pot. Calling keeps the investment small against the button raise.

6-2 offsuit is far too weak to continue against a raise and a call, even at the discounted price from the big blind.

This flop strongly favors the preflop raiser's range, and I have only weak backdoor draws. Checking avoids building the pot with a weak hand.

Top pair with a weak kicker on a very connected broadway board plays poorly against a check-raise, so I'll check back to control the pot and bluff-catch on later streets.

Bottom pair has some showdown value, but this connected board favors the preflop raiser's range. Checking keeps the pot small.

Top and bottom two pair on a draw-heavy board after the small blind checked twice; bet about two-thirds pot for value and to charge draws. Many weaker Qx, Jx and Tx hands can call.

Bottom pair has little chance to improve and is often behind a turn bet on this connected board. Calling 400 is unlikely to be profitable.

T2 suited is a marginal but playable button open three-handed. A small raise uses position while limiting the investment.

98 offsuit has useful connectivity and enough equity against a likely wide button open to defend at this price, despite being out of position and the big blind still to act.

Getting 540:120 in a multiway pot with deep stacks, calling with 22 to set-mine is clearly profitable given the implied odds.)

With middle pair and a weak kicker on a king-high, coordinated flop in a three-way pot, checking keeps the pot controlled and avoids betting into stronger hands.

Small pocket pair on a K-J-8 two-tone board in a three-way pot, with the preflop raiser still to act behind me; I have no equity worth protecting and poor bluffing value. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me fold cheaply to a bet.

With ten-high and no immediate straight or flush draw on a multiway flop, a bet is unlikely to get both opponents to fold often enough. Checking preserves chips.

With a weak pair of eights in a multiway pot, checking keeps the pot small and preserves showdown value. There is little need to bluff into two opponents after the flop checked through.

Pocket twos on K-J-8-4 is a weak showdown hand that only gets called by better hands, so betting has little value. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me realize my equity three-way.

Ten-high has little chance to improve on this board, and bluffing into two opponents is unlikely to be profitable. I’ll check and avoid investing more chips.

A weak pair of eights has some showdown value after the flop and turn checked through. Betting is unlikely to get called by worse hands, so I check.

The river gave me a set of deuces, which is very likely the best hand after everyone checked the flop and turn. I'm betting about two-thirds pot to get value from weaker pairs.

Bottom pair is unlikely to beat a river bet into two opponents often enough to justify calling, especially with another player still to act.

I have a pair of eights and need about 29% equity against this modest river bet. After the flop and turn checked through, missed draws and other bluffs make a call worthwhile despite the risk of a king or jack.

T4 offsuit is too weak to open from the button, and limping invites the blinds to realize equity or raise. I’ll preserve my stack for a better opportunity.

Q7 suited is a solid blind-vs-blind hand, strong enough to open from the small blind after the button folds. A 3x raise takes the initiative against the big blind.

T2 offsuit is too weak to defend against a three-big-blind raise, even heads-up.

J5 suited on the button in 3-handed play is a reasonable steal hand against the two blinds, so I'm opening to 2.5bb.

T2 offsuit plays poorly out of position against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

Q5 offsuit is marginal, but the button’s raise is small and the pot odds support defending the big blind heads-up. Calling keeps the pot manageable without inflating it with a weak hand.

Top pair with a weak kicker is worth continuing, but this board favors the preflop raiser and checking lets them act with their full range.

This is a small c-bet in position on a board that favors the preflop raiser. J5s has a gutshot to a straight (needs a K) and some backdoor equity.

Top pair is likely ahead of many of the button’s continuation bets, and the 180-chip call is small relative to the pot. I’ll avoid raising with a weak kicker and reassess on the turn.

Top pair with a weak kicker is a reasonable bluff-catcher, but betting into the preflop raiser risks building a pot against stronger queens. I’ll check and let the opponent decide whether to continue.

J-high has almost no showdown value or draw equity, which makes it a good candidate to bluff. Villain checked the turn after calling a small flop bet, so their range is capped, and a two-thirds pot bet can fold out weak pairs and busted draws.

Q5 is a weak top pair, and the button is barreling a sizable turn bet after our flop call. Better queens and strong made hands make up a substantial part of the value range, so folding avoids paying off with a poor kicker.
