Hold'em table

TJ offsuit is a reasonable button steal hand in a 3-handed game; raising to 250 applies pressure on the blinds with good position.

3-handed button opens wide; A7o from the SB plays better as a 3-bet (ace blocker, fold equity) than as a flat out of position with the BB still to act.

86 suited is too weak to call a large SB 3-bet of 10.5bb after a button open, especially out of position to the button postflop.

JTo is a marginal hand facing a 3bet to 1050 from the SB; calling or 4betting out of position with this holding isn't profitable, so folding preserves chips.

KTo on the button 3-handed is a clear open, so I'm raising to 2.5bb to steal the blinds and play in position.

T-3 offsuit is too weak to call a button raise from the small blind out of position.

Q6 offsuit is weak against a raise with only a marginal price; folding preserves chips for better spots.

J-T offsuit is a strong button hand in 3-handed play with position on both blinds. Raising to 2.5bb applies pressure and builds a pot in position rather than limping.

2-8 offsuit is a weak hand facing a raise; folding is the correct play to avoid committing more chips.

QJo in the big blind facing a 2.5bb button open is getting good odds (150 to win 400) and is a clear defend. Calling is better than 3-betting against a wide button range.

Open-ended straight draw plus a backdoor diamond draw, out of position against the preflop raiser. Checking keeps the pot controlled and lets me check-raise or realize equity cheaply.

Top pair with Jack kicker on a draw-heavy 9-5-T board; betting for value and protection against straight and flush draws after the big blind checks.

QJ on 9-T-5 two-tone gives an open-ender with two overcards and a backdoor flush draw. Calling 375 into 925 is clearly profitable and keeps the button's range wide; check-raising is an option, but calling realizes my equity well.

With an open-ended straight draw and two overcards, checking keeps the pot controlled. It lets me realize equity, and I can call a reasonable turn bet given 8 clean outs plus some overcard equity.

Top pair with Jack kicker on a draw-heavy board; betting half pot for value and to charge diamond and straight draws after opponent checked.

Open-ended straight draw (K or 8 gives the nut straight) plus two overcards. With strong implied odds, that justifies calling 650 into a 1950 pot.

Queen-high missed, and the double-barreler's range is full of pairs that won't fold to a river bluff. Checking gives up cheaply, and our hand may still win if they check back a missed draw.

Top pair has good showdown value, but the river completes several low straight draws and a third barrel would likely fold worse pairs while getting called by straights, two pair, and better tens.

Button with weak offsuit 8-10, facing a raise to 100; not worth continuing in a 3-handed pot with a marginal hand.

42o is among the weakest hands; out of position against the big blind, folding the small blind is standard.

J8o on the button in 3-handed play is a standard open, since only the blinds are left to act. A 2.5bb raise steals often and plays fine in position.

QJo has good equity against a wide button open in 3-handed play and the price is reasonable, while a 3-bet would bloat the pot out of position against a stronger continuing range.

AQ offsuit is strong enough to 3-bet for value against a button raise and SB call, building the pot while I have position-independent equity advantage.

J8o facing a BB squeeze to 9bb with the small blind still left to act behind is too weak to continue, and calling would be out of position against the squeezer's range with a player yet to act. Folding gives up the 2.5bb already invested.

QJo is dominated by a BB 3-bet to 900 after a button open and my SB call, and I would be out of position heads-up needing over 30% equity to call 650.

Q7 suited on the button in 3-handed play is well ahead of a wide defending range and plays best with initiative and position. Raising to 2.5bb applies pressure on the blinds while keeping risk modest.

2h7h is a weak offsuit hand facing a raise with another player still to act behind; not worth continuing from the small blind.

Getting about 3.7:1 against a wide 3-handed button open, 84o has enough equity to defend the big blind by calling.

Bottom pair with a weak kicker on a K-J board that favors the preflop raiser; I'll check and see how the button acts rather than bloat the pot out of position.

As the preflop raiser in position on a K-J-4 board that favors my range, a small continuation bet can fold much of the big blind's wide calling range while I retain backdoor spade and straight equity.

Bottom pair facing a small c-bet (200 into 550) with good pot odds (~27%); the button's range has plenty of air, so calling is better than folding or raising.

Bottom pair with no real draw on a K-J board facing a button c-bettor; check and evaluate any bet, keeping the pot small.

With queen-high and no real draw after the turn check, a second barrel has little equity when called by kings, jacks, or heart draws. Checking in position preserves chips and lets me evaluate a river bluff or pair out.

Bottom pair has some showdown value against a range that checked back the turn, but a bet would get called mostly by better hands. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me see showdown cheaply.

With only a pair of 7s on a K-J board, betting folds worse missed draws and gets called by Kx/Jx and straights. Checking preserves showdown value against missed hearts and weaker pairs.
