Hold'em table

9-2 offsuit is too weak to open on the button in this format; folding avoids entering pots with poor equity.

T5 offsuit is weak; button folded so only BB remains, but calling to see a flop with this hand out of position isn't profitable enough to justify.

Q9 suited on the button in a 3-handed pot is a solid raising hand to take initiative against the blinds.

64o out of the small blind facing a button open, with the big blind still to act, is a clear fold. It plays poorly out of position.

9c4h is a weak offsuit hand facing a button raise, with poor equity and reverse-implied-odds potential heads-up.

74o is too weak to open from the button in 3-handed play against two blinds with 100bb stacks, so folding is the low-variance, standard choice.

Getting 3:1 from the small blind against the big blind, A7 suited has sufficient equity to complete and play a heads-up pot.

I have A5 offsuit in the big blind against a single limper; raising isolates and builds value with a live ace while taking initiative heads-up.

Call the isolation raise with an ace-high hand getting favorable pot odds heads-up, while avoiding inflating the pot out of position.

Checking keeps the preflop raiser's range wide and lets us evaluate their continuation bet with our pair and ace kicker.

As preflop raiser I should continuation bet here; A-high with a backdoor diamond draw benefits from a half-pot bet to pick up the pot against a checked flop.

We have middle pair with an ace kicker against a small continuation bet in a heads-up pot. Calling keeps weaker bluffs and draws in while avoiding unnecessary inflation.

I have a strong two-pair hand with an ace kicker after the paired turn. A medium value bet targets pocket pairs, diamond draws, and weaker sevens while charging draws.

I have only ace-high with a weak backdoor flush draw; facing a turn raise after the board paired queens suggests real strength, so continuing isn't profitable.

Open-raise the suited connected button hand to apply pressure and play in position.

Getting about 3.7:1 in the big blind against a wide button open, Q2o has enough equity to defend by calling.

Q-high with a gutshot-ish backdoor (2 with 3-4 needs A5) is weak out of position against the button raiser; check and evaluate his action.

Betting top pair for value and protection against overcards and straight draws. The checked range contains many weaker hands that can call.

Queen-high with only weak backdoor straight potential is near the bottom of my defending range against this c-bet, and it plays poorly out of position, so folding is fine.

7h4c offsuit is a weak hand with no pot odds to see a cheap flop; folding from the button preserves chips.

Pocket threes in the small blind against the big blind alone is well ahead of a random hand. Raising to 3bb takes the initiative and can win the pot right away.

KQs is a strong heads-up blind-versus-blind hand with position postflop. I am 3-betting for value and initiative.

A small pair getting 3:1 with about 91bb effective behind gives enough implied odds to set-mine against the big blind's wide blind-vs-blind 3-bet range, even out of position. I'll play cautiously post-flop unless I hit a set.

We flopped quads, so there is almost nothing left to fear. Checking to the preflop 3-bettor lets them c-bet with overpairs and air, and it keeps their range wide.

A small continuation bet leverages the paired low board, which favors my preflop 3-betting range, while retaining a manageable price with two overcards and a backdoor club draw.

Holding quad threes, so the hand is effectively the nuts. Calling keeps the 3-bettor's overpairs and bluffs in and lets them keep betting on later streets, while a raise here might fold out their unpaired hands.

I have quad threes, which is the nuts, and checking lets the preflop aggressor keep betting into me. I plan to check-raise the turn or extract value on the river.

I have top pair with a strong kicker on a paired board and should value-bet while charging pocket pairs and draws.

Quad threes are effectively the nuts here; flat-calling keeps the 3-bettor's overpairs and Qx in the pot. It also leaves a pot-sized river where they can bet or jam into us.

We hold quad threes, the absolute nuts; the opponent has bet every street, so checking invites another bet or bluff that we can then raise all-in.

The river ace is unfavorable after the opponent called both flop and turn, as their range contains many aces and trips. Checking realizes the showdown value of my pair of queens without risking a thin value bet into a stronger range.

In 3-handed play the button can open wide, but 75o is near the bottom of a solid range and the blinds may defend. Folding is the simple low-variance choice here.

Q5 offsuit is a weak blind-versus-blind holding and does not warrant continuing against the big blind.
