Hold'em table

Nine-three offsuit is one of the weakest hands in this 3-handed spot, and calling 100 into a 150 pot with it has poor expected value.

Heads-up from the small blind, K-J offsuit is a strong hand well ahead of the big blind's range, so raising builds value and takes initiative.

Holding 5h 2c in the big blind against an SB open is an easy fold due to having negligible equity and playability postflop.

QJ offsuit on the button is a strong raising hand in 3-handed play, so I will open for 3x to build the pot in position.

AQs is a premium holdings 3-handed. 3-betting to 11bb for value and to seize initiative out of position against the button open.

Seven-deuce offsuit is one of the weakest hands, and facing a 1100 raise with 1000 to call from a multiway pot, folding avoids a losing investment.

QJo offsuit is dominated by a large SB 3-bet to 1100 and has poor realization despite position, so folding avoids a marginal call needing about 35% equity.

Q3s on the button in 3-handed play is near the bottom of the opening range; folding avoids playing a dominated weak Queen postflop.

Heads-up against the big blind with J9 offsuit, calling the 50-chip completion gives good pot odds and keeps a playable hand in the pot cheaply.

With 9-3 offsuit in the big blind I get a free flop after the small blind limped, so checking costs nothing and preserves any chance to hit.

I have only a spade draw and high-card jack with no made pair, so checking keeps the pot small and lets me see whether seat_2 bets.

With 9-high and no draw on a Q-6-5 two-spade board, a bluff is unlikely to fold pairs or draws; checking takes a free turn to improve cheaply.

I have J-9 high with no pair on a Q-6-5-4 board, so I'll take the free card rather than bet into two players who have already checked.

Opponent checked flop and turn showing weakness; I have an open-ended straight draw, so a pot-sized semi-bluff in position has fold equity plus outs if called.

With a spade flush draw and a few straight outs on the turn, I have roughly 26% equity to the river, but calling 250 into a 450 pot needs about 36%, and seat_2's turn raise likely represents a strong hand.

With 4c2c, a weak offsuit hand out of position facing only a 100-chip call, I'd rather see the flop cheaply than fold or bloat the pot.

Completing for 50 into 250 gives excellent pot odds with queen-high, despite being out of position in a three-way pot.

With 98 suited in the big blind facing two limpers, checking allows us to realize equity multiway in position without bloating the pot out of position.

With Q-high, no pair and no diamond on a monotone T-3-6 flop in a 3-way limped pot, I have no equity to bet for value or as a profitable bluff out of position.

Flopped a flush with a straight flush draw in a multiway pot; betting for value and protection against higher single diamonds.

I have 4-2 offsuit with no pair, no flush draw, and no straight draw on a T-3-6 board, so calling 200 into a 500 pot is not justified.

With Q-high, no pair, no diamond and no real draw on a monotone diamond flop, calling 200 lacks the equity needed against the big blind's bet.

On the button three-handed with a suited queen, raising applies steal pressure and leverages position rather than limping into a multiway pot.

Q7o is too weak to defend from the small blind against a 3x open raise out of position.

Pocket nines are a strong hand against a single button raise in a three-handed pot, so I'm raising for value and to build the pot while seat_2's range is wide.

Q3 suited is too weak to continue against a big-blind 3-bet to 900; calling 600 would play a dominated hand against a strong range despite position.

J7o is too weak to profitably open on the button in 3-handed play.

Jack-queen offsuit is a playable hand heads-up against the big blind in a three-handed pot, so completing the 50-chip call is better than folding or inflating the pot out of position.

King-high is ahead of a small-blind limp range and I have position postflop, so raising punishes the limp with fold equity and value.

Jack-queen offsuit has playable high cards and straight potential, and calling 300 into a 500 pot is a reasonable price against a possibly wide raise from the big blind.

I have Q-high with no pair on a 3-2-7 rainbow flop, and checking is free and keeps the pot small while I see seat 2's action.

I have a pair of 3s with king kicker on a dry low board and opponent checked; a half-pot bet protects against overcards and gets value from weaker pairs and draws.

Facing a 400 bet into a 1200 pot I need about 25% equity, and a dry rainbow flop against a wide preflop raiser's betting range gives Q-high with two overcards a reasonable chance to continue.

I have only Q-J high with no pair on a paired board, and checking is free, so I can see the next card without adding chips.

I have trip threes with a king kicker on the turn and should bet for value against 7x, pairs, and draws while charging flush and straight draws.

I have Jh Qd with no pair on a paired 3-3-2-7 board, facing 1100 to call into a 2700 pot, which needs roughly 29% equity I don't have against a line that has been betting every street.
