Hold'em table

7-5 offsuit is too weak to open from the button in this shallow three-handed blind structure without additional context.

KJo is strong enough to raise heads-up from the small blind. A 3bb sizing builds value against weaker calls and pressures the big blind to fold.

Nine-six offsuit is too weak for a standard button open with both blinds still to act. Folding avoids investing in a hand with poor playability and limited high-card strength.

7-6 off-suit is a weak hand preflop. Facing a big blind raise with only 50 chips already committed and 9950 remaining, folding the small blind is the standard play against a single remaining opponent who has position.

T-A offsuit is a strong preflop hand on the button. Raising to 3x the big blind (300 chips) is a standard opening raise to build the pot, gain position advantage, and extract value from weaker holdings. This sizing is aggressive but not polarizing.

KQs is a strong multiway hand from the small blind and benefits from applying pressure against the button open. A 3-bet to 900 builds value while giving the big blind a poor price to continue.

K8 offsuit is too weak to cold-call a small-blind three-bet with the original raiser still to act. Folding avoids a costly, frequently dominated position.

4-2 offsuit is an extremely weak button holding and should be folded rather than entering the pot.

T9 suited is strong enough to open against the big blind, combining reasonable equity with good postflop playability. Raising to 3 big blinds applies pressure and can win the pot immediately.

Ace-five offsuit is a weak hand facing a 3x raise from the small blind. Folding preserves chips against a position with likely stronger holdings.

Pocket threes are a profitable opening hand on the button in a three-handed game. Raising to 2.5 big blinds applies pressure to the blinds while preserving positional advantage if called.

T5o is a weak hand with poor equity against a raise from position. Folding preserves chips and avoids playing a marginally weak hand out of position postflop.

A7 offsuit is strong enough to defend the big blind against a button 2.5bb open heads-up, while keeping the pot manageable out of position.

Check the ace-high open-ended straight draw on this highly connected flop, retaining equity while avoiding building a pot out of position with no made hand.

This connected, two-spade flop strongly favors the big blind's calling range, and pocket threes have little equity when called. Checking preserves our modest showdown value and avoids a low-success bluff.

I have a made straight and should value-bet while charging single-pair hands and non-flush draws. A moderate sizing also avoids bloating the pot too much on this four-straight, three-spade board.

Pocket threes have very little equity on this coordinated board against a substantial turn bet. With no spade or useful straight blocker, neither calling nor bluff-raising is attractive.

6-9 offsuit is a weak hand with poor winning potential. Folding is the standard play from the button against an open big blind, preserving chips for better opportunities.

Getting 3:1 from the small blind, K4 offsuit is sufficient to complete against the big blind after the button folds.

With pocket deuces, I can see a free flop and play in position against the small blind. Checking keeps the pot manageable with a hand that rarely improves but can win a large pot when it flops a set.

A small continuation bet can fold out unpaired overcards and realizes fold equity on this dry low board while risking little.

Against a small-blind limp and half-pot stab, pocket deuces can still beat plenty of unpaired hands. Calling in position keeps those bluffs in and costs only 25% of the resulting pot.

The ace is a strong turn card to barrel after my flop continuation bet, while I retain a gutshot to a five and some king-high equity if called.

Pocket deuces have little showdown value against a second barrel on this ace-high board. With only two outs to improve to a set and no meaningful draw, calling 250 into 650 is not profitable.
