Hold'em table

In 3-handed play, 96o on the button falls near the bottom of a standard opening range and is only marginal. Folding is a low-risk choice against unknown blinds.

Button folded, so this is heads-up against the big blind. A4o is strong enough to raise for value and to put pressure on the big blind preflop.

JTs is a strong, playable heads-up big blind hand against a small blind open. A 3-bet builds initiative and can win immediately while retaining good playability if called.

Q2o is a weak offsuit hand with poor playability and dominated potential, so I fold rather than invest chips out of position against the blinds.

Complete from the small blind with a playable suited connector and favorable heads-up pot odds.

AJs is well ahead of a small-blind limping range, so I'm raising for value and to take the initiative. 4x the big blind is a standard size against a limp.

JTs is a strong suited, connected hand heads-up against the big blind's isolation raise, with good implied odds. Calling preserves its playability without inflating the pot.

I have trip tens with a strong kicker on a coordinated board. A substantial value bet charges heart draws and extracts from overpairs or weaker made hands.

The nut flush draw with an overcard ace is a strong hand against a pot-sized donk bet, and calling keeps the pot controlled while their bluffs stay in. Raising would fold out worse hands and bloat the pot against their Tx.

I have trip tens with a jack kicker and should value-bet against worse tens, overpairs, and heart draws. A moderate sizing also avoids overcommitting on the third-heart board.

I have the nut flush on a paired board, which beats most of the villain's betting range, such as trips, a weaker flush or a draw. Raising for value keeps worse hands paying while the risk from full houses is still small.

Top trips with a jack kicker are too strong to fold at this price against possible flush draws, overpairs, and bluffs. Calling keeps weaker hands and bluffs in while preserving room to evaluate the river.

Our trip tens have showdown value, but the turn check-raise on a three-heart board heavily represents a flush. Checking avoids value-owning ourselves while allowing a chance to reach showdown.

I hold the nut flush on a paired board. Full houses are possible, but villain's line of leading and then just calling the turn raise suggests a Ten, a weaker flush or trips far more often, so jamming the 5400 into 9200 gets value from those hands.

My trip tens have a weak kicker on a three-heart paired board, and the turn raise followed by river shove is heavily weighted toward flushes, full houses, or stronger tens. The all-in price is not favorable enough to bluff-catch.

Q2 offsuit is too weak to profitably enter from the button under unknown opponent tendencies.

JTo is a solid blind-vs-blind hand; raising to 3x takes the initiative and can win the pot preflop, which is better than limping.

K8s is playable heads-up and I'm getting good pot odds to defend the big blind, so I'll call and see the flop.

The ace-high board favors my preflop raising range, so a small one-third-pot c-bet works well. JT has backdoor straight and flush equity and can fold out many of the big blind's weak holdings.

75o on the button 3-handed is a marginal steal; with 100bb stacks and two players behind, folding is fine, though raising is close. I'll fold to avoid a low-equity offsuit hand.

J6o is weak but I'm getting 3:1 on a call against the big blind, and folding would give up too much equity. I'll see a flop cheaply and play cautiously out of position.

Check the big blind with a weak offsuit queen rather than inflate a pot out of position versus the limper.

I missed this flop completely and have no strong draw, so I'll take the free card and see the turn.

I have a pair of queens and should value-bet while charging diamond draws and weaker pairs. A small sizing keeps worse hands in.

I only have jack-high with a gutshot draw, and the pot odds don't justify calling 100 against a flop bet on this coordinated board. Folding preserves my stack for better spots.

4d7s is a weak hand facing a bet and a call out of position, so I fold to preserve chips.

A2 offsuit is a strong heads-up blind-versus-blind holding and should be raised for value and initiative.

Getting 2:1 in position against a wide small-blind open, so 64o is a reasonable defend with a call.

A small continuation bet pressures unpaired overcards and random broadways while risking little on this paired board. We retain gutshot and ace-high equity when called.

Open-ended straight draw (a 2 or 7 makes a straight) plus some overcard equity; calling 200 into a pot of 800 gives good odds, and position is favorable.

Our ace plays as the current kicker on this double-paired board, giving some showdown value. Checking preserves that value rather than barreling into a flop-calling range that contains many trips, boats, and pocket pairs.

The board's double pairs leave my 6 kicker weak, so many unpaired high cards beat me. Betting after the check can fold those hands, and any 2 or 7 still makes my straight.

A-high has only the board’s two pair and is unlikely to be ahead often enough versus this sizable turn bet after the preflop raiser continued on the flop.

8-3 offsuit is too weak to profitably enter from the button in this setup.

42o is among the weakest hands. Playing out of position from the small blind realizes too little equity to justify completing or raising, so folding is the most disciplined choice.
