Hold'em table

94 offsuit is too weak to open profitably from the button in 3-handed play at 100bb deep, so folding is the standard play.

Calling the additional 50 gives a reasonable price heads-up with 9♦7♥. Raising this weak offsuit hand risks building a pot out of position.

JTs plays well heads-up and is strong enough to raise a small-blind limp for value while retaining position postflop.

7♥9♦ is a weak offsuit hand facing a substantial raise out of position. Folding avoids committing more chips with poor equity.

On the button, 8-7 offsuit is a reasonable open in a three-handed game. Raise to 2.5 big blinds to apply pressure while keeping the pot manageable.

J6 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

T7s in the big blind against a 2.5x button open is getting about 3.7:1 (150 to win 400), so it's a clear defend. Calling beats 3-betting with this hand.

Middle pair with no hearts on a monotone board, out of position against the button raiser; checking controls the pot and keeps some showdown value.

I have a modest middle pair on a monotone flop with no heart, so checking back keeps the pot small and avoids betting into a board that strongly favors heart holdings.

Top pair with no heart is weak on a four-flush board, since any heart beats us. Checking keeps the pot small and lets us realize our showdown value.

I have a modest pair with no heart on a four-heart board, so betting risks being called or raised by a flush while folding out few better hands. I’ll take the free card and preserve showdown value.

The board is a five-card heart flush and I hold no heart, so I'm playing the board. Betting can't fold out anyone who would beat me by more than they would lose, and hands without a heart just split, so I'll check and take the likely split.

The board itself makes a king-high flush, so without a heart I cannot improve it. Checking avoids risking chips when hands without a higher heart will simply tie and hands with one have me beat.

J9 offsuit is strong enough to open on the button three-handed, and a 2.5 big blind raise applies pressure while preserving position.

42o in the small blind facing a button open, with the big blind still to act, is a clear fold.

A3 offsuit is a reasonable big-blind defend against a button open, and the 150-chip call offers favorable pot odds. Calling keeps weaker hands in and avoids inflating the pot out of position.

I have no pair or meaningful draw on a coordinated monotone flop, so betting would be a weak bluff into the preflop raiser. Check and see how the hand develops.

I have a king-high straight on a three-diamond flop. Betting for value also charges hands with a diamond that could improve on the turn.

My ace-high hand has only a gutshot to a straight, and the J♦ could complete an opponent’s flush. The call price is too high given the limited clean outs and this coordinated monotone board.

K7 suited is a clear opening hand on the button in 3-handed play, so I'm raising to 2.5bb to take the initiative and pressure the blinds.

6-5 offsuit is a weak out-of-position defend against a button raise, with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids investing more in a likely difficult multiway pot.

J4 offsuit is a marginal big-blind defend against a button raise, but the dead small blind and no rake make calling worthwhile.

Middle pair with a weak kicker is better played as a check out of position against the preflop raiser, keeping the pot manageable.

Top pair with a weak kicker on a two-tone board, heads up in position versus a BB check. A small c-bet gets value from worse Kx, Jx and draws while charging the flush draws.

Middle pair is strong enough to continue against a button continuation bet, whose range can include draws and unpaired hands. Raising would overplay a weak kicker.

My pair of jacks is weak on an ace-high board, and betting is unlikely to get called by worse hands. Checking keeps the pot small.

K7 is now second pair with a weak kicker on the ace turn; betting would mostly fold out worse hands and get called by better, so we take the free card and keep the pot small.

My pair of jacks has some showdown value, but the ace, king, and three diamonds make a value bet unlikely to get called by worse. Checking avoids turning it into a bluff.

Second pair on a board where the flush got there and an ace fell. Villain would rarely call a bet with anything worse, so I'm checking to showdown for my modest value.

9-2 offsuit is too weak to open profitably, even from the button; avoid investing chips with it.

Q7 offsuit is strong enough to contest the big blind heads-up. Raising gives me a chance to win the pot preflop.

Getting 2:1 with position against a small-blind open, suited T3 is a reasonable defend versus a wide SB range.

Q-high has little connection to this dry flop, and a bet is unlikely to fold out many better hands. Checking keeps the pot small and preserves the option to respond to a bet.

Top two pair on a dry T-3-2 board after the SB checked to me in position. Betting about two-thirds of the pot builds value from overpairs, tens and draws while denying equity.

Q-high has little equity or useful backdoor potential on this flop. Calling out of position against the 400-chip bet is unlikely to be profitable.

A7 offsuit is strong enough to open on the button three-handed. A 2.5-big-blind raise puts pressure on the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

92s from the small blind facing a button open, with the big blind still to act behind, is too weak to call out of position or to 3-bet profitably.

6-5 offsuit is a weak, poorly realizing hand out of position against a 2.5bb button raise. The pot odds do not compensate for its equity and postflop disadvantage.
