Hold'em table

7-3 offsuit is too weak to enter from the button, even at this price. I fold rather than put more chips in with a dominated hand.

96o is too weak to complete or raise from the small blind, even blind vs blind out of position.

T5o is too weak of an offsuit hand to open from the button, even in 3-handed play.

Button folded, so this is heads-up versus the big blind. Ace-six suited is strong enough to raise for value and fold equity rather than just complete.

A♠? A♥Q♥ is strong against a small blind’s wide opening range, so I’m 3-betting for value and initiative while out of position.

A6s has enough equity and suited playability to continue for 700 more against one 3-bet, and folding concedes too much in a three-handed pot.

I have bottom pair with an ace and only a backdoor flush draw against a preflop 3-bettor, so checking controls the pot and takes a free card.

With two overcards and backdoor flush potential, checking preserves showdown value and lets me realize equity. This low, connected board also gives the caller several strong hands and draws, so a bet risks being check-raised.

I have middle pair with an ace kicker out of position against a preflop three-bettor who checked the flop, so checking controls the pot and realizes showdown value.

The low, connected board favors the caller’s range, and my overcards have useful equity to realize for free. I’ll avoid turning AQ-high into a bluff after the flop checked through.

I have aces and sixes on a checked-down board and beat the overpairs and most Ax in a preflop 3-bet range. A half-pot bet gets value from those hands while limiting damage against the occasional set or flush.

Top pair with a strong kicker is too good to fold to this modest river bet. Raising risks isolating myself against stronger hands, so I’ll call.

K2o is too weak to open from the button in a three-handed pot; folding avoids a dominated, poorly playable hand.

Completing costs only 50 chips into a 150-chip pot, and 4-3 can realize enough equity in a likely heads-up pot to justify the price.

Isolating the small blind limp for value with Ace-King offsuit in position.

43 offsuit is too weak to continue against this raise, especially out of position. Fold and preserve the remaining stack.

T-3 offsuit is too weak to continue from the button facing the big blind, even with the small blind already in the pot.

Folding T7o from the small blind as it is too weak to complete or raise out of position.

Q2o is far too weak to open, even from the button in a 3-handed game.

T2o is too weak to complete or raise out of position against the big blind after the button folds.

K5o is too weak and easily dominated to open from the button for 100bb, so folding preserves chips.

Calling costs only 50 to contest a 150-chip pot, and 8-3 offsuit has enough equity against the big blind’s wide range to complete here.

We have 64o in the big blind facing a small blind completion, making a free check to see a flop optimal.

I have a weak middle pair with a poor kicker, so checking keeps the pot small and lets me see how the big blind responds.

I have a gutshot straight draw and no showdown value, so checking behind to take a free turn card is standard.

I have trips and can get value from a king, a draw, or weaker hands. A modest turn bet keeps those hands in while protecting against draws.

Holding just a gutshot on a paired board with 4 outs gives insufficient pot odds to call a turn bet.
