Action timeline
Model's stated reason
K8o on the button in 3-handed play is comfortably inside a standard opening range, so a small open to 2.5bb applies pressure to both blinds.
Model's stated reason
Holding Q5o is very weak out of position against a button raise; folding to avoid losing more chips.
Model's stated reason
Q9o in the big blind facing a 2.5x button open gets a good price (150 to win 400, about 27% equity needed) and has decent equity against a wide button range, so calling is better than folding. A 3-bet with this hand would be too loose.
Model's stated reason
I have middle pair (nines) on a J-9-7 board heads-up in position-less spot; betting about 64% of the pot for value and protection against overcards and straight draws, since the button's preflop raise range is wide.}
Model's stated reason
A gutshot to the T plus a king overcard gives about 25% equity, and we are in position. The price is 350 into 900, so with implied odds a call is better than folding or turning this into a big semi-bluff raise.
Model's stated reason
I have a middle pair of nines on an Ace-high board with a possible straight draw, so it is a marginal hand. Checking controls the pot size and keeps showdown value against a button player who called the flop.
Model's stated reason
The ace is a good scare card for us as the preflop raiser, and the villain's check after leading the flop suggests a medium hand like a jack or nine. A half-pot semi-bluff with a gutshot to a ten and a king kicker can fold out better hands and still has outs when called.
Model's stated reason
I have middle pair of nines with a queen kicker on a 7-J-9-A board, and the pot odds are 1900+650 into 650, about 25%. Seat 1 could be betting a wide range as the button, so I call and keep my bluff-catchers in play rather than fold or raise.}
Model's stated reason
Board 7h Jd 9c As Td gives me a Q-high straight (9-T-J-Q plus 8 needed? no) — actually Q-J-T-9-8 needs an 8, so I hold only a pair of nines. Checking to control the pot.
Model's stated reason
I have a jack-high straight, which loses only to KQ or Q8. Villain checked the river after calling the turn, so a two-thirds-pot value bet targets their two pairs, sets and Ax.
Model's stated reason
I only have a pair of nines on a J-T-9-7-A board. The button bet turn and river after I checked, so most of their value range beats me. I'd need about 29% equity to call and I likely don't have it.
Model's stated reason
9h2h is a very weak hand, not worth calling even from the button.
Model's stated reason
T3 suited is a weak hand out of position, and completing costs 50 into a 150 pot. Heads-up against the big blind it is marginal. Folding is a small, safe choice, though calling is also defensible.
Model's stated reason
T8 offsuit on the button in a 3-handed pot is a playable hand, and calling 100 to win a 250 pot gives good odds with position, so I call rather than fold or bloat the pot.
Model's stated reason
Completing for 50 into a 250 pot with 54o gives good odds in a limped multiway pot, and the hand has some straight potential. Raising would be loose from out of position.
Model's stated reason
Holding a very weak hand (8c2h) out of position, raising would only build a pot with little equity; checking to see a free flop is optimal.
Model's stated reason
Bottom pair with a weak kicker, out of position in a three-way limped pot on an ace-high board, so checking for pot control is best. I can consider calling a small bet since I have a gutshot to the wheel.
Model's stated reason
手牌很弱,翻牌没中,免费看一张转牌。
Model's stated reason
Both opponents checked the A-Q-4 flop, so a small bet on the button with Td8h (a gutshot-less backdoor hand) can take the pot against weak ranges. A small sizing risks little if called.}
Model's stated reason
Bottom pair is getting 3:1 against a half-pot stab from the button in a limped pot where both blinds checked, so the button's range is wide. My pair plus improvement outs justify a call, though the big blind is still to act behind me.
Model's stated reason
I have 8c 2h, no pair, no draw, and the board is Ace-high with a Queen. Facing a bet and a call, my hand has very little equity and I should fold.
Model's stated reason
Bottom pair on a wet A-Q board with three diamonds is weak, so I'll check for pot control. My hand has some showdown value against a button bettor who might be bluffing.
Model's stated reason
I have a nut-less flush draw plus a gutshot-ish backdoor with Td on a 4d Qh Ad 7d board, so I have a Td flush draw (four diamonds with 7d, 4d, Ad, Td). Actually that makes a made flush, but a check keeps the pot controlled and could induce bluffs; however betting for value is also fine. I choose to check as the opponent already checked and may call with a weaker flush or Ax.}
Model's stated reason
Bottom pair has some showdown value against the button's air after the turn checked through. A bluff is unlikely to fold out the Ax and Qx hands that would call, so I'll take the free showdown.
Model's stated reason
I have a pair of tens, which is likely best or close to it after checks on the turn and river. Seat_1 checked all streets, so a small value bet of about half the pot should get called by worse pairs and draws that missed.
Model's stated reason
Bottom pair with a 5 kicker beats only pure bluffs. The villain's line of a flop stab, a turn check and a small river bet should include many value hands, such as any pair, Ax, straights and flushes. I doubt we have the 25% equity needed to call.
Model's stated reason
J7o on the button in 3-handed play is a standard open; a 2.5x raise steals the blinds often and keeps position if called.
Model's stated reason
KQo has good equity in a 3-handed game and can win the pot preflop or isolate the button. 3-betting to 750 applies pressure and defines the hand strength.
Model's stated reason
A3o in the big blind facing a button open and a small blind 3-bet to 750 is dominated and would need to call 650 more out of position against two players, so folding is the disciplined play.
Model's stated reason
J7o is too weak to continue against a small-blind 3-bet to 7.5bb. We'd be calling 500 into 1100, and the hand has poor equity and playability.
Model's stated reason
On the button with A8o, ahead of middling hands and can steal blinds, raising to 2.5bb puts pressure on blinds.
Model's stated reason
7-9 offsuit is a weak hand out of position in the small blind, facing a button raise with the big blind still to act. Calling 200 more is not worth it, so folding is the better choice.
Model's stated reason
Getting 150 into 400 pot (~27% equity needed) with suited 85 in the BB against a button open; calling is profitable and keeps the hand playable postflop.
Model's stated reason
I have 8-5 with no club and almost no equity on a monotone KQ4 board that favors the preflop raiser. Checking keeps the pot small, and I can fold to a bet.
Model's stated reason
We have a flush draw and an overcard, giving us strong equity. Opponent checked, which often shows weakness, so a semi-bluff can take down the pot or build it when we hit.
Model's stated reason
8-5 offsuit in hearts has no pair, no draw and no backdoor potential on a monotone club board KQ4. Calling 400 into 950 isn't justified, so I fold.
Model's stated reason
Q9o on the button in a 3-handed pot is a reasonable hand with position, and calling 100 to win a 250 pot is a good price.
Model's stated reason
Getting 5:1 to complete in a limped pot. 43o has enough equity against two wide ranges to justify the cheap call despite playing out of position.
Model's stated reason
I have 23o, one of the worst hands, and can see a flop for free. There is no reason to raise.
Model's stated reason
An open-ended straight draw (any 2 or 7 makes a straight) is a good semi-bluff in a limped pot. A small lead can take the pot down now and builds the pot when I hit.
Model's stated reason
I have 2h 3d, which is only a gutshot straight draw on Ac 6s 5s. Pot odds are 200 to win 700 (~22.2% equity needed), but I have only about 16.5% chance to hit a 4 on the turn, and no other high-card value. Facing a bet from the small blind who likely has an ace or a flush draw, and with seat 3 still to act, folding is the disciplined play to preserve my stack.
Model's stated reason
Qd9s has only queen-high on an Ac 6s 5s flop with a flush draw possible, and facing a 200 bet into 500 from the small blind with no real equity, I fold rather than pay to continue out of position in a bad spot.
