Hold'em table

Queen-Jack suited is a premium broadway holding on the button in 3-handed play; raising to 2.5bb to build the pot and take initiative.

32 offsuit is far too weak to continue against the button's raise, especially from the small blind and with the big blind still to act.

62 offsuit is too weak to call a button open from the big blind; folding avoids putting more chips in with a dominated hand.

K7 offsuit is a reasonable button open in a three-handed game. Raising to 250 applies pressure while keeping the sizing modest.

Q6 offsuit is too weak to continue out of position against a button raise, so folding is the highest-EV option.

Getting attractive pot odds of 150 to call into a 400 pot with suited connectors closing preflop action.

Check to the preflop aggressor on an Ace-paired board where they hold a substantial range advantage, intending to evaluate facing a continuation bet.

A small continuation bet uses my preflop range advantage on the paired ace board and can fold out some of the big blind’s unpaired hands. I have little showdown value, but retain a backdoor spade draw.

I flopped two pair on a paired board and face a small continuation bet of less than one-third pot, making this an easy call with strong pot odds.

I have two pair (Aces and Fives) plus an open-ended straight draw; checking out of position to control the pot and evaluate Seat 2's action.

My pair of sevens has some showdown value, but a turn bet is unlikely to get called by enough worse hands and risks building the pot against an ace or a stronger pair. I’ll take the free river.

I have modest showdown value with two pair (Aces and Fives) on a paired board. Checking to realize equity against missed overcards and draws is standard.

I have useful showdown value with two pair, aces and sevens, plus a king kicker. Checking avoids value-owning myself against an ace or a higher pocket pair while still beating many weaker hands.

On the button in three-handed, J8o is a reasonable open. A small raise takes the initiative and can fold out worse hands before the flop.

5h2h is too weak to defend out of position against a button open with the big blind still to act.

KTo is a reasonable big-blind defend against a button raise, and the price is favorable. Calling keeps weaker hands in the pot without inflating it with a marginal hand.

I have a strong diamond draw but no made hand, and the preflop raiser has an advantage on this ace-high board. Checking keeps the pot controlled while letting me respond to a bet or realize my equity if it checks through.

I have middle pair plus a diamond flush draw on a checked flop, so a half-pot bet builds the pot and charges worse hands.

KdTh has only backdoor flush potential and weak overcard outs on this ace-high flop. The half-pot bet requires more equity than this hand can reliably realize.

T4s is too weak to open profitably even on the button in 3-handed play, so folding is the best play.

K-high suited is playable heads-up from the small blind, and completing keeps the pot small with a weak kicker.

Button folded and the small blind only completed, so I raise 87s in position to take the initiative and build the pot with a playable suited connector.

K3 suited is too weak to continue out of position against a large raise; the call price requires substantial equity, and the hand may not realize enough of it postflop.

Pocket tens are a strong hand on the button in a three-handed pot; raise to 2.5 big blinds for value and to take initiative.

23 offsuit is too weak to continue against a button open; folding saves chips.

95o is too weak to defend out of position against a button raise.

K7 suited is a playable button open in three-handed play, so I raise to 3bb to take the initiative rather than flat the big blind.

Holding J4 offsuit in the small blind against a button raise is an easy fold out of position.

T7 offsuit is too weak to defend against a button raise, especially out of position; calling would be unprofitable despite the pot odds.
