Hold'em table

JTs is a strong, highly playable button opening hand in a three-handed game. I raise to apply pressure and build the pot with position.

Q8s is too weak to continue out of position against a button open with the big blind still to act, so folding avoids a dominated, multiway spot.

3h6c is a very weak hand with no showdown value, and calling out of position against a button raise would be -EV. Folding preserves chips for a better spot.

74o is too weak to open from the button for a full big blind; folding preserves chips.

A8o is a decent hand heads-up after button folds; raising to 3BB pressures the big blind, defines hand strength, and avoids playing out of position with a marginal ace.

Pocket threes are strong enough to defend heads-up versus a small blind 3x open, retaining implied odds and position after the flop.

Ace-high with no draw, but a small continuation bet can fold out missed hands and limit risk.

Bottom set is a very strong hand on this coordinated, two-diamond board. I raise for value and to charge the opponent's many draws and overpairs.

A8o missed the flop completely with only an overcard, no draw, facing a large raise out of position; fold is clear.

With Td4h offsuit, the hand lacks the equity and playability to justify any raise or call from early position, even in a 3-handed game. Folding preserves my stack for better opportunities.

With 3-2 offsuit heads-up from the small blind, folding to the big blind is preferable to defending a weak hand out of position.

Button open-raise with suited 9-6; the positional advantage and fold equity justify a modest steal attempt.

Q2 suited is too weak to continue out of position against a button open, especially with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids paying 200 more with a dominated, low-equity hand.

Calling with 66 to set-mine and evaluate flop; 3-betting out of position with a medium pair is risky and may fold out worse hands.

Flop a set of sixes, want to build the pot and get value from flush draws, straight draws, and top pairs like Kx.

I have a pair plus some backdoor diamond potential and position, so calling the small flop lead is preferable to folding or inflating the pot.

We have a set of sixes on a draw-heavy board with a flush and straight possible. Betting for value and to charge draws, while building the pot against likely kings or flush draws.

Top two pair is strong enough to continue against this sizing, but the three-spade board makes a raise unnecessarily vulnerable to flushes and stronger value.

I have a full house (sixes full of kings) which is very strong. I want to extract value from trips or flushes. Betting 1800 (about 65% pot) should get called by many worse hands while minimizing loss against better full houses.

Our two pair is heavily dominated by any king or spade flush on this paired four-spade board, and the opponent has shown sustained strength across all streets. Folding avoids paying a large river bet with a weak bluff-catcher.

T8o is playable on the button in three-handed play, so I open to 3bb rather than limp or fold.

K7s is too weak to play out of position against a button raise; folding preserves my stack.

Kh2h is a reasonable heads-up big-blind defense versus a button min-raise, with suitedness and direct pot odds. Calling preserves flexibility rather than inflating a marginal hand.

With only king-high on a paired board against the preflop raiser, checking preserves equity and avoids building a pot with little showdown value.

I am the preflop raiser on a dry paired flop and the big blind checked. A small c-bet can fold out weak ace-high and missed hands; if called I can shut down.

Call the small continuation bet with king-high and some chance our overcard is best or improves on later streets. The price is favorable heads-up.

With only king-high on a paired board after the flop bet and call, checking preserves our limited showdown value and avoids bluffing into a range that can contain many trips or pocket pairs.

Board is trip sixes and I have only T-high with no pair or draw, so a free check is better than bluffing into a caller.

Our K kicker has some showdown value on the paired board, but a river bet is unlikely to be called by worse and risks getting raised by trips or an ace.

I have eight-high with no pair or draw on a triple-six board with an ace. Opponent called the flop and checked the river, so a bluff is unlikely to fold out a real hand. Checking avoids putting more chips in with almost no showdown value.

Q5o is too weak to play from the button preflop in a 3-handed game, especially with no reads.

7-2 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against the big blind.
