Hold'em table

T7o on the button 3-handed is a standard open-raise; steal the blinds with a 2.5x open.

6c4c is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button open in a three-handed game, especially out of position.

Nine-deuce offsuit plays poorly out of position against a button raise, and defending for another 150 chips is unlikely to be profitable.

2-6 offsuit is a very weak button opening hand and should be folded rather than defending the blind price.

With 8-6 offsuit in the small blind, calling 50 more is a low-cost way to see a flop against the big blind.

KJs is well ahead of a small-blind limping range, so I raise for value and to take the initiative with position.

Eight-six offsuit is too weak to continue against the big blind’s raise to 400, even with postflop position.

K-J suited is a strong button opening hand three-handed. Raising to 2.5 big blinds builds the pot while retaining position.

K4o from the small blind facing a button open, with the big blind still to act, is a clear fold: it is dominated too often and plays poorly out of position.

A5 suited is a strong heads-up big-blind defend and works well as a polarized 3-bet bluff/value candidate against the button open. Raising applies pressure while retaining good playability if called.

KJs plays well in position against a big blind three-bet, and calling keeps weaker hands in without building an unnecessarily large pot.

I have a strong made straight on a wet board and should value-bet while charging clubs, pairs, and draws.

With no pair or immediate draw on this connected flop, KJ has too little reliable equity to call the bet, and it is a poor bluff-raise candidate.

93o is too weak to open from the button in 3-handed play with two players left to act, so folding is standard.

Complete the small blind with a playable suitedness-independent connected hand and realize equity rather than folding cheaply.

A5 suited is strong against a small-blind limp, and raising builds the pot while keeping position after the flop.

5-high offsuit is too weak to defend against a large 4bb isolation raise out of position.

7-4 suited is too weak to open profitably on the button against two blinds at this stack depth.

AJo is strong heads-up against the big blind. Raising from the small blind builds the pot and puts pressure on a wide defending range.

A9o in the big blind against a small-blind open of 3.5bb is a clear defend: I get good pot odds and have position postflop. Calling keeps the SB's wide range in, rather than 3-betting a hand that plays poorly against their continuing range.

Top pair with the best kicker is strong heads-up on this draw-heavy flop. A moderate bet gets value from weaker jacks and draws while protecting against free cards.

With position, ace-high plus a backdoor diamond draw has enough equity and playability to continue against a roughly 2/3-pot c-bet. Folding here would be too tight relative to minimum defense frequency.

The king and third club weaken my second pair, and I have no club. Checking keeps the pot manageable and lets me assess the opponent's action.

I have only ace-high with no club, so a bluff on this three-club board has little fold equity and no blocker value. Checking back takes a free river and lets me realize my showdown value.

With no club on a four-club board, my pair of jacks is too weak to value bet. Checking preserves its showdown value.

Ace-high has some showdown value against a range that checked twice, and a bluff on a four-club board without the Ac is likely to be called by any single club.

On the button, a small open with a suited hand gives me a chance to win the blinds and play in position if called.

A9o is well ahead of a wide 3-handed button opening range, and 3-betting from the small blind avoids playing out of position multiway. It also takes the initiative.

8-high offsuit is far too weak to defend against an open and large 3-bet from the big blind.

7♦3♦ is too weak to defend against a large three-bet, even in position. Folding limits the loss to the opening raise.
