Hold'em table

7-5 offsuit on the button in a 3-handed game is a marginal hand; folding avoids playing a weak holding out of position postflop against two unknown opponents.

A8o is strong enough to raise heads-up after the button folds; raising to 3bb applies pressure and builds the pot with a likely equity edge.

4♣2♠ is too weak to continue against a raise, even with the price offered.

JTs is a strong speculative hand on the button in a 3-handed game, so I will raise to apply pressure and build a pot with position.

K3 suited has enough equity and flush potential to defend the small blind against a button raise, though calling keeps the pot manageable out of position.

K9o in the big blind facing a 3x button open and a small blind call: pot is 700 and I need 200 to call, getting 3.5:1 with a hand that plays reasonably well multiway and closes the action. Folding is too tight at these odds; raising is poor since K9o doesn't fare well when 3-bet called.

A small value bet can get calls from Jx and draws while charging hands with equity. The multiway pot and weak kicker favor keeping the sizing modest.

Top pair with a weak kicker on a two-tone board; the SB's small donk bet gives great odds to call, and with the preflop raiser still behind, raising risks getting blown off a decent-but-not-great hand.

Closing the flop with middle pair and a backdoor straight draw, getting 5:1 immediate odds; raising would likely fold worse and get called by stronger Kx.

I have a weak-kicker pair of kings on a board where the turn completes a front-door flush draw. With multiple opponents in the pot, checking keeps the pot controlled and avoids building it without a strong hand.

Top pair with weak kicker plus a 9-high flush draw and gutshot on a very wet three-heart K-J-T board, out of position in a three-way pot. Checking keeps the pot controlled; I can call a reasonable bet with my draws and pair outs rather than bloating the pot against hands that already beat me.

I have two pair on a wet board and both opponents checked the turn, so I will bet for value and to charge straight and flush draws. If raised, I can reassess and likely fold.

Top pair still has enough showdown value and the price is reasonable; folding would be too tight despite the coordinated board and weak kicker.

Top pair plus a flush draw and gutshot to the straight; getting about 22% pot odds with roughly 25-30% equity to improve plus some showdown value, so calling is correct while raising risks getting stacked by made hands on this wet board.

I have a weak one-pair hand on an ace-high river with a four-card straight draw completed by a queen. After a turn bet was called by both opponents, checking is safer than attempting thin value into a multiway pot.

Second pair on a very coordinated board (A-K-J-T plus three hearts) three-way with an aggressive player behind; betting gets called only by better, so check and evaluate.

I have two pair (jacks and tens) but the board is highly coordinated with straight and flush possibilities. Both opponents checked the river, so I'll check to reach showdown rather than risk a raise from a better hand.

87 offsuit is a reasonable button open in a three-handed game, and raising takes advantage of position while applying pressure to the blinds.

J5s from the small blind facing a 2.5x button open with the big blind still to act is a clear fold; it plays poorly out of position and doesn't have the equity to call or 3-bet profitably.

94o is a weak offsuit hand out of position against a button raise, and calling 150 more would leave me dominated too often. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

7s8s suited connector on the button in a 3-handed game with 100bb stacks is a clear open-raise; raising to 2.5bb takes initiative and plays well in position.

99 is strong in a 3-handed pot; 3-betting to 800 applies pressure on the button and avoids playing a marginal pair out of position multiway.

T7 offsuit is too weak to continue against a button open and a substantial small-blind 3-bet, especially with the opener still to act.

7s8s suited connector facing a 3-bet to 800 from the SB; pot is 1150 and I need 550 to call, getting ~2.1:1 with position and 100bb deep, so calling to realize equity is reasonable.

I 3-bet preflop and have a strong underpair on a dry J-3-3 board. Betting 700 for value/protection folds out overcards and worse pairs, and I can fold to a raise.

7s8s completely missed the 3-J-3 flop with no draw; facing a 700 c-bet into 1700 from a 3-bettor, folding is clearly correct.

AcQh is a strong three-handed button hand, so I will open-raise for value and to take initiative. A raise to 300 applies pressure while keeping the pot manageable.

T5 suited is too weak to continue against a 3x button open from the small blind, especially with the big blind still to act and poor positional prospects postflop.

65o in the big blind facing a 3x button open with 200 to call into a 450 pot; getting ~3.25:1 with position-disadvantage, this is a marginal but acceptable defend given the wide button opening range and good playability of a connector.

I have 6-5 offsuit with no pair and no draw on a K-8-2 board as the preflop caller out of position; checking to the preflop raiser is standard and I can fold to a bet.

I raised preflop and missed this K-high flop, but I have two overcards and position. Checking back controls the pot and avoids inflating it against a range that likely contains Kx or spade draws.

I have 6-high with no draw on Ks 8s 2d Jh after the button checked back the flop; betting as a pure bluff into a range that still contains many Kx/Jx hands is marginal, so I check and plan to fold to a bet or possibly bluff the river if checked through.

I have ace-high with a gutshot to the nuts and a backdoor flush draw; betting the turn as the preflop aggressor can take down the pot or set up a river barrel, and my opponent has shown no strength by checking twice.

6-high with no pair and no draw on K-high board facing a 500 bet into 650; nothing to continue with, fold.

On the button, a small pair is worth raising three-handed; a modest raise applies pressure while keeping the pot manageable if called.

Pocket nines in the small blind facing a button open; 3-betting to ~3.2x takes initiative, denies BB a cheap call, and plays well against a wide button raising range.

Jh4h is too weak to continue against a button raise and a small-blind three-bet, especially calling 700 more out of position.

Calling in position with a small pair is preferable to folding at these pot odds, with deep stacks offering set-mining value. A 4-bet would risk too much with a hand that plays poorly when called.

As the preflop 3-bettor with range advantage on a Q-high board, a small ~1/3 pot c-bet with 99 denies equity to overcards and draws while keeping the pot manageable; I can fold to a raise.

I have a strong set on a two-heart flop, so raising builds the pot and charges draws while getting value from top pair and overpairs.

Button's flop raise in a 3-bet pot on Qh3c8h is polarized toward sets, AQ/KQ and strong flush/combo draws; 99 is a weak bluff-catcher out of position with poor realizability and only two clean outs against made hands, so folding is better than committing more chips.
