Hold'em table

QJs is a strong button hand in a three-handed game, so I open to 3x rather than flat the big blind.

3♣2♠ is a very weak hand out of position against a button raise, with the big blind still to act. The price is not worth calling.

Holding 6s 2c in the big blind against an open raise is a clear fold due to terrible equity and reverse implied odds out of position.

K-high is a reasonable button open in a three-handed game; raising applies pressure to the blinds while keeping the sizing modest.

Q6o is too weak to defend out of position against a button open.

65s is a playable suited connector in the big blind against a button open, and the pot odds justify a call to see a flop.

I have aces and fives on a paired ace board, but a bet mostly folds out worse hands and gets called by trips. Checking controls the pot and lets the button bluff or value-own with worse.

A small continuation bet leverages my preflop initiative on this ace-high paired board, while the king-high hand has a backdoor flush draw if called.

I have two pair (aces and fives) and the 150 bet is only about 27% of the pot, so the price is too good to fold. Raising would fold out the unpaired hands I beat and get called mainly by aces and better pairs, so calling is best.

I have only bottom pair on an ace-paired board after the opponent bet the flop, so checking is the best free option to realize equity and control the pot.

The turn gives me two pair, aces and sevens, and a modest bet can get value from weaker pairs or an ace while keeping the pot manageable.

I have two pair, aces and fives, and the 300 bet into 1150 gives me better than 3.8:1. That price is too good to fold a hand that beats all of seat 2's non-ace, non-seven bluffs and continuation bets.

I only have a pair of fives on an ace-paired board, so a river bet gets called by better and folds out worse. Checking is the highest-EV line.

I have a strong but not invulnerable showdown hand, and a small river bet can get value from weaker sevens and lower pairs while limiting losses if raised.

I have two pair, aces and fives, and the river bet is only 300 into 1750, so I need to be good about 15% of the time. That price is too good to fold a made hand that beats all non-ace, non-seven bluffs and weak one-pair holdings.

J8o is on the weak end of the button opening range in 3-handed play; folding is standard and avoids marginal spots.

52 suited is too weak to continue out of position against the big blind for even a min-raise or a call. Folding avoids playing a dominated hand with poor postflop prospects.

Three-handed with no rake, T4s is a standard button open: suited and in position, a 2.5bb raise takes the pot down often and plays fine when called.

K3 suited is too weak to continue out of position against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

87s is a strong suited connector getting great pot odds to defend the big blind against a button open.

We flopped a flush draw out of position on an Ace-high board against the preflop raiser; checking to the aggressor is standard.

In position with bottom pair after the big blind checks, a small c-bet pressures ace-high misses and weak hands while keeping the pot manageable.

Calling with a flush draw getting attractive pot odds of 200 to call into a 750 pot.

Check to the preflop and flop aggressor out of position with a pair and flush draw.

I have only bottom pair on an ace-high board and the opponent has called my flop bet, so checking the turn controls the pot and realizes equity cheaply.

I hold two pair, sevens and fours with an ace kicker, which has reasonable showdown value after the turn checked through. Checking lets me realize my equity against missed broadway cards.

I have trip fours on a paired board and the river was checked to me, so a half-pot value bet can get called by an ace or a stubborn pair.

Holding two hearts heavily blocks opponent's missed flush draw bluffs, making this weak pair of sevens an easy fold to a half-pot river bet.

Pocket tens are a strong button hand in a three-handed pot. Open-raise to 250 to build value while keeping the sizing manageable.

Holding 2h 3s in the small blind against a button open is an easy fold due to very poor playability and equity out of position.

95o is too weak to defend out of position against a button open; folding saves chips.

Opening K7s on the button in 3-handed play is standard for value and position.

J4 offsuit is too weak to continue from the small blind against a button open, so folding is the highest-EV option.

T7 offsuit is marginal, but the 150-chip call offers favorable pot odds against a wide button opening range. I’ll defend rather than inflate the pot out of position.

I have no pair or meaningful draw on an ace-high flop, so I’ll check out of position and avoid building the pot with a weak hand.

With King-high and no spade blocker or straight draw on a coordinated As-Js-2h board, checking back to control the pot is standard.

I have a gutshot straight draw but no made hand, and checking takes a free river card without bluffing into a range that may connect with the king.

Turn gives us second pair with a weak kicker; checking behind controls the pot size and allows us to realize our showdown value in position.

I have some showdown value with a ten kicker on this paired board, and a bluff is unlikely to fold hands that already beat me while risking chips against the pot. I’ll check and take the free showdown.

We improved to trip Kings with top kickers on the river after checking flop and turn. We bet for value targeting Ax or Jx in opponent's checking range.

T-high has no meaningful showdown value on this paired board, and the river bet is likely to beat it. Calling needs roughly 22% equity, which is unlikely against this range.
