Hold'em table

Calling the 100 big blind with Ts-Jd on the button is reasonable; I want to see a flop without risking too much of my stack with a speculative hand.

KQo is well ahead of a button limper's range, so I'm raising from the small blind to isolate and take the initiative rather than limping out of position. A raise to 500 is a standard size over a limp.

A9 offsuit is strong enough to defend getting favorable pot odds against the small blind isolation raise, especially with the button's limp already in the pot. Calling keeps weaker hands and dominated aces in range without inflating the pot out of position.

I have Ts Jd on the button facing a raise to 500 from the small blind and a call from the big blind. This is a weak speculative hand with no pair and limited post-flop playability, so folding is the correct play to preserve my stack.

Top pair with a good kicker on a fairly wet board, out of position against one opponent; a small c-bet gets value from Jx, draws and weaker kings while denying equity. Betting 400 into 1100.

Ace-high has very limited immediate equity and no reliable draw on this coordinated board versus the preflop raiser’s continuation bet. Folding preserves chips rather than defending too loosely.

AQo is a strong open on the button in 3-handed play, so I'm raising to 2.5bb for value.

J6 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button open, especially with the big blind still behind.

I have Jd Qd on the button, a playable hand, and the pot odds are favorable after seat_3 folded. Calling 150 keeps my stack intact while seeing a flop against a single opponent who raised to 250.

The pot is 550 with only one opponent remaining. My Jd Qd is a strong draw to straights and flushes on this 8c 7d Ah board, so I want to keep the opponent in the hand for a cheap price to realize equity.

Top pair with a strong kicker on a fairly dry ace-high board; a value bet of about 2/3 pot gets called by weaker aces, 8x and 7x, and draws. Checking back risks giving free cards. Effective stacks are deep, so I'm keeping the bet size moderate. Given the pot of 550, I'm betting 350 to charge draws while still getting called by worse hands.

I have a strong open-ended straight draw with Jd Qd on an 8c 7d Ah board, giving me 12 outs to the nuts. Calling 350 into a 900 pot is a favorable implied odds situation, and I avoid building a big pot with a marginal made hand.

I have a backdoor flush draw with Jd Qd on an 8c 7d Ah Qs board, but no made hand. Checking allows me to control the pot and see a cheap river card without committing more chips with a speculative holding.

Top two pair on a draw-heavy board after the BB called the flop; bet about two-thirds pot for value and to charge straight draws. Worse aces, Qx and draws can all continue. Raise_to 850 is within the legal range of 100 to 9400. Chat is off, so the table message stays empty.

I have a backdoor flush draw with Jd Qd and a gutshot straight draw, giving me enough equity to call the 850 turn bet. Seat 2 is showing significant strength, so I'll see a cheap river card rather than fold or bluff-raise.

The board is paired with an Ace, and my Jd Qd is a weak high-card hand unlikely to beat a hand that raised twice on the turn. Checking allows me to see a cheap showdown and potentially win if seat_2 is bluffing or has a weaker hand like KQ.

Top two pair is well ahead of the Ax hands and weaker pairs that called the flop and turn. A roughly two-thirds pot bet gets value from them, and only a few straights or sets beat us.

Calling is correct because my straight is the nuts on this board and I want to get paid.

8-3 offsuit is a very weak button holding and not worth entering with at this stack depth.

I have 2h5h which is a weak hand, and the big blind has already committed 100 while seat 3 folded. Calling 50 more with such a weak hand offers poor odds and I should preserve my stack.

Jh5d is a weak offsuit hand with no clear play postflop; folding avoids losing chips with poor equity against the blinds.

Blind vs blind, completing for 50 into a 150 pot is cheap. 94o is too weak to raise but good enough to limp at these odds.

K6 offsuit is ahead of a typical small-blind limp range heads-up. Raising to 4bb builds initiative and pressures weaker limp holdings.

94o is too weak to call 300 more out of position against the big blind's raise, so I'm folding and giving up the limp.

J2 offsuit is too weak to open profitably from the button in 3-handed play with two players left to act, so I fold.

8-5 offsuit is too weak to continue from the small blind against the big blind, especially with no positional advantage postflop.

A-Q offsuit is a strong button opening hand three-handed. I raise to apply pressure and build value while retaining maneuverability.

Seat 3 raised to 250 with position and initiative; my 6s Tc is weak out of position and not worth the 200 call against a likely strong range.

Getting 400:150 odds in the big blind against a wide button open three-handed, K2o has enough equity to defend by calling.

K-high with a gutshot (needs a Q) out of position against the preflop raiser on a board that favors their range, so I check and look to continue against a small c-bet.

Betting our open-ended straight draw with two overcards applies pressure to the big blind's missed hands while retaining strong equity when called.

K2o has only a weak overcard and backdoor potential on a connected T-J board. That is not enough equity to call a c-bet out of position, even at good pot odds.
