Hold'em table

A5 suited is a clear open from the button in a 3-handed game, so I'm raising to 2.5bb.

92 suited is too weak to continue out of position against a button open; folding avoids a dominated, low-equity spot.

73s is too weak to defend out of position against a 2.5bb open from the button.

A3o is playable as a button open in three-handed play; a small raise takes the initiative and can fold out weaker hands.

Holding T5o out of position in the small blind against a button raise is an easy standard fold.

ATo in the big blind against a 2.5bb button open in 3-handed play is well ahead of a wide button range, and we are getting good odds (150 to win 400). Flatting keeps the opener's weaker hands in, and 3-betting can be mixed in at some frequency.

Ace-high with a backdoor heart draw on a K-high flop, out of position against the preflop raiser, so I'll check. My hand has showdown value and can call a small c-bet.

As the preflop raiser I c-bet a dry king-high flop after the big blind checks. Ace-high has some showdown value, but a small bet can fold out worse hands and take the pot.

Ace-high with a backdoor nut flush draw on a dry K-high board is getting 200 into 750 against a small c-bet from the button's wide range, so it can continue as a call. Raising would only fold out worse hands.

Ace-high with no real draw out of position against a preflop raiser who c-bet; check and keep the pot small, reassessing if they bet.

Bottom pair with an ace kicker is too weak to bet for value on a king-high board, and a bluff is unlikely to fold better hands. Checking realizes equity and keeps the pot small.

Ace-high has some showdown value against the busted draws and air in a range that checked back the turn. Bluffing into the button's medium pairs is marginal, so I'll take the free showdown.

I have only bottom pair on a K-J board, so a bet gets called mostly by better hands. Checking realizes showdown value against ace-high and missed hands.

On the button in 3-handed play, A4o is a standard open to apply pressure on the blinds with positional advantage.

T6o out of the small blind against a button open, with the big blind still to act behind, is a clear fold. It is too weak to 3-bet, and calling out of position is unprofitable.

KTo is a standard big-blind defend against a small button open. Calling 120 into 370 is profitable enough without bloating the pot with a weak offsuit broadway.

King-high with no pair or draw on a paired flop is too weak to bet out of position, so I take the free card and keep the pot small.

Check behind on a paired board to control the pot size and realize showdown value with Ace-high.

King-high with no pair or draw on a paired board; checking is free and a bet is unlikely to be called by worse.

I have Ace-high with showdown value in position; checking back the turn lets me realize equity and see a free river without bloating the pot.

King-high with no pair on a paired board with an ace; checking is free and a bluff is unlikely to fold a preflop raiser who can have Ax.

I paired my Ace on the river with a weak kicker; checking behind realizes showdown value without risking a check-raise or calling better Aces.

K6o on the button 3-handed is a standard opening hand, so I'll raise to 2.5bb to steal the blinds.

Pocket threes have enough equity and implied odds against a 2.5bb button open to continue, but three-betting a small pair out of position is unattractive, so I call.

Folding weak offsuit ace out of position multiway against a button open and small blind call.

I have a full house on a paired board and seat_1's preflop raise often includes unpaired hands that only have trips. A two-thirds pot bet builds the pot while keeping worse hands in.

On a trips board, king-high has meaningful showdown value against a small-blind lead that can contain plenty of unpaired air. At 28.6% pot odds, calling is better than folding or turning the hand into a bluff.

I have fours full of threes, but the turn Ace and any higher pocket pair beat me, so a bet is mostly called by better. Checking controls the pot and lets worse hands continue or bluff.

With K-high on a 444A board we have showdown value but get called mostly by aces and pairs that beat us, so checking back to control the pot is best.

I have fours full of threes, but the preflop raiser can have many higher pocket pairs that beat me, and worse hands may not pay a bet on this board. Checking lets me realize the hand and call if they bet thin.

We hold fours full of kings, which beats every pocket pair below kings and any hand without an ace or quad fours. A half-pot value bet should get called by worse full houses and some kings, which split with us.

Board trips with A and K mean my 33 full house loses to nearly every hand that opens and bets this river. The half-pot bet is value-heavy and I do not have the equity to call.

65o is too weak to open from the button for a full big blind, so I fold.

In a blind-versus-blind situation, open-raising A4o allows us to attack the big blind with an ace-high holding and fold equity.

Getting 3:1 in position against a wide small-blind steal range, T2o has enough equity to defend by calling.

The board heavily connects with the big blind's defending range, so checking with our ace-high and backdoor nut flush draw is standard out of position.

We have an open-ended straight draw plus a backdoor flush draw, in position after the preflop raiser checked. A semi-bluff of about two-thirds pot gives us fold equity and builds the pot for when we hit.

I hold Ace-high with only backdoor equity on a wet, coordinated flop that heavily favors the big blind's calling range, making a fold against a two-thirds pot bet clear.

93 offsuit is far too weak to open, even on the button in 3-handed play.

Blind vs blind with K3o, a king-high hand is well ahead of a random BB range, so raising to 3bb is a reasonable steal and better than limping or folding.

34 offsuit is too weak to continue against a preflop raise; folding preserves chips.
