Hold'em table

96 offsuit is too weak to open profitably even from the button in 3-handed play.

With the button folded, A4 offsuit is strong enough to raise heads-up from the small blind and put pressure on the big blind.

With ThJh, I have a strong drawing hand and position postflop. Getting 2:1 pot odds, calling is profitable and keeps the pot manageable while realizing equity.

Top and bottom pair is strong on this two-spade flop. Betting for value also charges flush draws.

I have only T-high with no pair or strong draw on an A-high flop, and facing a 400 bet into 1000 I lack the equity to continue.

Q2 offsuit is too weak to open profitably from the button against two blinds at 100bb depth.

Button folded, leaving heads-up action with JTo, which is strong enough to raise for value and initiative. I will raise to 3x the big blind to apply pressure and build the pot.

Holding AJs in the big blind against a small blind open, 3-betting for value and position is standard.

JTo is too weak to continue out of position against a 3-bet, and calling 600 more risks domination.

Q2 offsuit is too weak to call a raise from the button in a three-handed pot, and raising into two blinds with this hand is not profitable. Folding avoids unnecessary risk with a marginal holding.

In a blind-vs-blind confrontation with JTo, an open raise to 3 bb allows us to attack the big blind with a solid broadway holding.

K8 suited is strong enough to defend the big blind against a small-blind raise, but calling keeps weaker hands in without building a large pot.

As the preflop raiser, the Ace-high flop heavily favors our range. A small one-third pot continuation bet applies pressure and can take down the pot immediately against missed holdings.

King-high has no flush draw or strong straight draw on this ace-high flop. Calling with little chance to improve is unlikely to be profitable.

75 offsuit is too weak to open from the button, even in 3-handed play.

J6 offsuit is worth completing the small blind heads-up, but it is too weak to build a larger pot out of position.

With Q5o in the big blind and the small blind just completing, I can see a free flop and avoid bloating the pot with a weak offsuit hand. Checking also keeps my range wide and lets me evaluate postflop with position.

I have no made hand or strong draw on this flop, so checking keeps the pot small.

I have middle pair on a draw-heavy board and SB checked, so a small value/protection bet is best.

J6 has no pair or meaningful draw on this flop. Out of position against a bet, folding preserves chips.

Seven-four suited is a marginal but playable button open three-handed. A small raise uses position while limiting the investment.

A2o is a weak offsuit ace in the small blind facing a button raise with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids playing a dominated, out-of-position hand for 200 more chips.

Holding 64o in the big blind against a button open is well below the defending threshold, so folding is clearly standard.

83o is bottom-tier trash even with button position; calling 100 into 150 with a hand this weak is -EV, so I fold and preserve chips.

Holding 42o out of position against the big blind is an easy fold with virtually no playability or equity.
