Hold'em table

On the button in 3-handed play, K3s is playable to open with a min-raise to apply positional pressure on the blinds.

J5o is a weak offsuit hand out of position facing a button raise, so folding avoids unnecessary chips.

J6 suited has enough equity to defend the big blind against a button min-raise, especially at this price.

Bottom pair is too weak to build a pot out of position. Checking keeps the pot manageable and lets me assess the button’s action.

I have King-high with very little equity on a board that heavily connects with the big blind's defend range, making a check behind best to see a free turn.

Trips are strong against a range that checked back the flop. Betting 300 chips builds value from tens, pocket pairs, and spade draws while charging those draws to continue.

I have King-high with zero draw equity on a paired, flush-heavy board facing a two-thirds pot bet, making this an easy fold.

J2o is too weak to call a full big blind from the button in a three-handed pot, so I fold preflop.

With the button folded, 4♦3♦ is playable against the big blind. A small raise can win the blind immediately while keeping the pot manageable when called.

52s is too weak to defend against a 2.5bb small blind open, even with position.

On the button in a three-handed, rake-free pot, 7-6 offsuit is playable as a small open raise.

Pocket nines is well ahead of a button opening range in 3-handed play; 3-betting to 10bb extracts value and protects out of position.

Qs7h is too weak to continue against a button open and a small-blind three-bet, especially with only 900 to call and poor domination risk. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

The large three-bet makes calling with 7-6 offsuit too costly, even with position.

Opening standard 2.5bb on the button with KJo to put pressure on the blinds and take initiative in position.

ATo is strong enough to 3-bet against a button open in 3-handed play; taking initiative and charging the big blind to continue.

Q5 offsuit is too weak to continue against an open and a large three-bet, especially from the big blind with the opener still to act.

Facing a sizeable 3-bet to 900 from the small blind, KJo is frequently dominated and does not have enough equity or playability to justify calling 650 more.

T2o is a very weak offsuit hand with poor playability, and calling 100 chips out of position against two live opponents is not profitable. Folding avoids unnecessary risk this early.

Completing the small blind costs only 50 chips, and T4 offsuit has enough equity to see a flop against the big blind.

Holding ATo in position against a small blind limp, raising to 400 extracts value and punishes a wide limping range.

T4 offsuit is too weak to defend against a raise to 400, especially out of position.

K2 offsuit is playable as a button open three-handed, and a modest raise puts pressure on the blinds while retaining position.

A6o plays poorly out of position against a button raise with the big blind left to act, making folding standard.

K6o has enough equity against a wide button open and the pot odds are favorable, so I call the extra 150 to see a flop.

With K-high and no pair on an ace-high flop, I have little showdown value and prefer to check, keeping the pot small and seeing the button's action before deciding whether to continue.

A small continuation bet uses my preflop range advantage on this ace-high board. The gutshot and backdoor diamond draw give me ways to improve if called.

I have a backdoor flush draw and some straight potential, and I'm getting about 4:1 pot odds to call. Folding feels too weak, but raising risks too much without a strong hand.

K-high with no pair or strong draw on a coordinated board; check to control the pot and likely fold to further aggression.

King-high has little showdown value, but the gutshot has some equity. Taking the free river card in position is preferable to barreling into a flop caller on this turn.

With A-high and no pair, checking has showdown value against missed draws and worse Ax; betting risks getting called or raised by better pairs or a flush on the river.

King-high is unlikely to win at showdown. The Kd blocks some strong flushes, so a river bet can pressure the opponent's weak pairs.

I hold only king-high with no pair, no straight, and only four diamonds, so I cannot beat a river value bet. Folding avoids paying 700 into a pot where I have almost no chance to win at showdown.
