Hold'em table

With AK suited heads-up from the small blind after the button folds, I raise for value and initiative.

Getting 3:1 in position against a likely wide small-blind steal range, 73o has enough equity and playability to defend.

I continuation-bet small to leverage two overcards and a gutshot to the queen while keeping the price efficient on this coordinated board.

I have only a weak gutshot to the 9 plus a backdoor flush draw, with no pair. That is not enough equity to call 250 into 850 out of position, and my hand beats nothing.

On the button with suited T8, I raise to apply pressure and leverage position against the blinds.

Three-handed, the button's opening range is wide, and A3o has an ace blocker and decent equity. Three-betting from the small blind beats flatting out of position with the big blind still to act.

Weak offsuit hand facing a raise and re-raise; calling 1000 more is not profitable.

T8 suited is too weak to continue against a large small-blind 3-bet after opening, especially with the big blind folded.

J7o on the button 3-handed is a reasonable open-raise to steal the blinds; a small 2.5x sizing keeps risk low.

87o is too weak to continue out of position against a raise, especially with the big blind still to act behind. Folding loses only the small blind and avoids a marginal spot.

3-high offsuit is far too weak to defend against a button raise, even at this price.

97o is a weak offsuit hand with poor multiway equity, and calling 100 out of position against two opponents is not profitable. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

7-2 offsuit is an extremely weak hand heads-up from the small blind after the button folds, so folding avoids investing further.

KQs is a strong button opening hand in three-handed play. Raising to 2.5bb applies pressure while retaining flexibility against the blinds.

Pocket threes facing a 2.5bb button open with 100bb effective stacks give good implied odds for set mining, so calling is fine. A 3-bet risks bloating the pot out of position with a hand that plays poorly against a 4-bet.

Q6o is weak and out of position facing a raise and call; folding is the disciplined play.

Pocket 33 on a monotone, highly connected board is weak and out of position, so I check and will likely fold to a bet.

With two overcards on a monotone connected flop, checking back controls the pot and retains equity without exposing ourselves to a check-raise.

With 33 and no diamond on a four-flush board, my hand is only a weak bluff-catcher. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids a bluff that any diamond would call.

The fourth diamond is highly threatening and we have no showdown value. A modest turn bet can fold out many one-pair and unpaired holdings that checked twice while limiting risk against flushes.

Pocket threes with no diamond on a four-diamond board lose to any diamond and to nearly every pair. Against the turn bet, the 25% equity needed on the call isn't there, and a diamond on the river would hurt us further.

K8s on the button in a 3-handed game is a clear open-raise, so I'm putting in a standard 2.5bb steal.

5h7d is too weak to continue out of position against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act. Folding preserves chips for a better spot.

J6 offsuit is too weak to defend profitably against a button raise at this size.
