Hold'em table

Three-handed on the button, 74s is a playable suited open with fold equity against the blinds, so I raise to 2.5bb rather than flat a weak hand out of position postflop.

9♦3♦ is too weak to defend out of position against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

Holding weak unsuited connectors out of position against a button raise is an easy fold.

A♣8♣ is a strong button opening hand in a three-handed game; raising puts pressure on the blinds while retaining playability postflop.

Holding 82 offsuit in the small blind against a button open is an easy standard fold.

T9s has enough equity and playability versus a button open to call 200 into 450 rather than fold or inflate the pot with a 3-bet.

I flopped top two pair on a relatively dry board and want to build the pot while charging straight draws. A roughly 60% pot bet extracts value without overcommitting.

I have an open-ended straight draw with eight apparent outs, giving enough equity to continue against this bet. Calling keeps the pot manageable while preserving my draw.

I have two pair on a coordinated turn and want a value bet that also charges draws.

I have only ace-high and an eight-out straight draw, which is not enough equity to call this sizable turn bet, especially on a board with a flush draw possible.

85 offsuit is too weak to open from the button even in 3-handed play, making fold the clearly +EV choice.

Button folded, so this is heads-up with A6o. A small raise takes the initiative and can win the blinds immediately rather than completing out of position.

A♣7♣ is strong enough to defend against a small-blind raise, and calling keeps weaker hands in while avoiding a bloated pot out of position.

Ace-high with only a backdoor heart draw has little immediate equity on this connected two-heart flop, so I check rather than bloating the pot out of position.

I have top pair with a decent kicker and should get value while charging heart draws and straight draws. A half-pot bet is a reasonable size on this wet board.

Ace-high with no pair and no draw on 3-7-8 is too weak to continue against a flop bet, so I fold rather than pay 300 with little equity.

Pocket sevens is ahead of a random button open and plays well in position, so a standard 3x raise builds the pot and can take it down preflop.

KTo is dominated often by a button opening range, and calling from the small blind leaves me out of position with the big blind still to act. I fold rather than invest more in a marginal hand.

Calling getting good pot odds with pocket deuces in a zero-rake environment to set-mine against the button's wide opening range.

Check to the preflop raiser out of position with an underpair.

I have pocket sevens on a paired board, giving me two pair that beats most unpaired hands and lower pairs. Seat 3 checked, so a small c-bet of 300 builds the pot and denies equity to overcards and flush draws.

With bottom underpair out of position and minimal turn equity or redraws, folding to a half-pot c-bet is standard.

6-3 offsuit is too weak to continue from the button, even with the discounted call. I fold rather than invest more with poor playability.

Pocket tens is well ahead of the big blind's random range in a blind-versus-blind spot; raising to 3bb builds the pot for value.

34o is too weak to continue against a small-blind raise, even heads-up; the price does not justify the equity.

Opening from the button with suited queen-seven to steal the blinds and take positional advantage.

King-ten suited is strong enough to 3-bet a button open from the small blind, taking the initiative and folding out weaker hands before the flop.

6♣2♥ is a very weak offsuit hand, and calling 550 more against the raise and reraise is not worthwhile.

Q7s is near the bottom of my button opening range and faces a significant 3-bet from the small blind; folding avoids dominated situations out of position relative to their strong range.
