Hold'em table

7-3 offsuit is too weak to profitably open from the button against two blinds.

In a blind versus blind battle with KQ suited, raising to 3bb is a standard value open to put pressure on the big blind.

JTo in the big blind getting 2:1 on a call (200 to win 500 total) against a small blind 3bb raise (a wide range) is a profitable call with a reasonable chance to realize equity, so I call rather than fold or 3-bet.Chat is off, so no message.

C-betting one-third pot on a dry, paired board where we retain range advantage as the preflop aggressor.

Top pair with a decent kicker on a paired board is strong enough to call a 200 bet into a 600 pot (getting 4:1), and calling keeps bluffs in the SB's range while avoiding a large pot against a stronger hand.

Holding King-high with no draw on a paired board after our flop c-bet was called, checking to control the pot is the standard line.

Top pair with a decent kicker on a paired board is likely best after the SB checked the turn. A small value bet builds the pot and denies equity to overcards and draws.

Holding only King-high with no draw, calling a 400-chip bet with roughly six speculative outs lacks sufficient equity and implied odds.

J7s is a standard open from the button in 3-handed play to apply pressure and utilize position.

A5o out of position in the small blind facing a button open with the big blind still to act is a marginal hand. It plays poorly, so I fold rather than call 200 more.

The button can open a wide range, and the small blind's dead chips improve the price of defending the big blind. Calling keeps the pot manageable with a weak but connected hand.

I have no pair or meaningful draw on a board that favors the preflop raiser, so I’ll check rather than build the pot.

I have third pair with a weak kicker on a very wet Broadway board; checking behind controls the pot and allows me to see a free turn in position.

I have no made hand or meaningful river draw, and this turn is unlikely to be a profitable bluff against the preflop raiser.

We hold third pair on a very wet and coordinated board, so checking behind to control the pot and see a cheap showdown is standard.

Bottom pair has some showdown value, but this board makes a value bet too thin. Checking avoids investing more against stronger hands.

I have third pair on an ace-high board with straight possibilities. Checking behind allows me to realize my showdown value against busted draws without risking chips against better hands.

Pocket eights on the button in a 3-handed game is a strong hand, so I raise to 3bb for value and to take position against the blinds.

T6 offsuit plays poorly out of position against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

Holding 32 offsuit in the big blind against an open raise is an easy and standard fold.

With position and a suited connector, I’ll open for a modest raise to pressure the blinds.

A2o plays poorly out of position facing a button open, making fold the standard play from the small blind.

Getting 400 to 150 (about 2.7:1) with Q7o in the big blind against a button open; the hand is marginal but has enough equity heads-up and the price is good enough to call rather than fold or bluff-raise.

Queen-high on a K-3-A board is weak and I'm out of position against the preflop raiser. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me see the turn, while betting would mostly fold out worse hands and get called or raised by better ones.

Bottom pair has some showdown value, but a bet is unlikely to get called by many worse hands. Checking keeps the pot small in position.

Queen-high with a gutshot (J-10 needed for Broadway... actually only a backdoor) is a weak hand; the button checked back the flop, so he has some showdown value. Checking keeps the pot small and preserves the chance to win at showdown.

Bottom two pair is strong enough to value-bet against aces, kings, and draws. Betting now also charges hands that could improve on the river.

Queen-high with only a backdoor-free gutshot-less hand (Q-7 on K-3-A-4) has no pair and no real draw; facing 400 into 950 (needs ~23% equity) against a button who bet after checking the flop, folding is reasonable.

76 offsuit is too weak to open profitably even on the button in 3-handed play.

3-4 offsuit is a weak hand, and out of position against the big blind it is not worth paying 50 more or raising. Folding costs only the 50-chip small blind.

T2 offsuit is a weak hand out of position against two players still to act behind or in the blinds; folding avoids a marginal, losing call despite being on the button.

Q4 offsuit is worth completing for 50 chips heads-up, but it is too marginal to build a large pot out of position.

Holding a pocket pair in the big blind against a small blind limp, raising to 3.5 bb builds the pot with an equity edge and takes in-position initiative.

Q4 offsuit plays poorly out of position against a big blind raise, so I won't invest another 250 chips.
