Hold'em table

King-high on the button 3-handed is worth a cheap min-raise to attack the blinds; I keep risk minimal and can fold if facing a re-raise.

Folding Q4o in the small blind facing a button open, as it plays poorly out of position and is dominated.

A2o is weak out of position, but the button only min-raised and I need about 22% equity to continue. That price is good enough against a wide steal range, so I call rather than 3-bet a dominated ace.

Top pair with a weak kicker is too vulnerable to bet into the preflop raiser on an ace-king flop, so I check and keep the pot small.

I hold second pair (kings) with a weak kicker on an ace-high board, so betting for value is thin and a raise would put me in a tough spot against Ax. Checking back in position preserves my stack and lets me realize equity with the backdoor flush draw.

I have top pair on a checked-through flop and can get value from worse aces, kings, and floats. A small turn bet keeps the pot manageable with a weak kicker.

Opening from the button with an ace in 3-handed play is standard to apply pressure and capture the blinds.

KJo is ahead of a wide button open in three-handed play, and calling 150 into 350 is a reasonable price without bloating the pot out of position.

85 offsuit is dominated by the button's raise range and plays terribly out of position multiway; even the cheap 100 call into 500 has poor equity realization, so folding is best.

King-high with no pair or draw on an ace-high flop is too weak to bet into the preflop raiser, so I check and realize equity.

I flopped top two pair on an ace-high board and want to bet for value against weaker aces and drawing hands.

King-jack offsuit has no pair and no draw on an ace-high flop, so calling a continuation bet is unprofitable. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

T6 offsuit is too weak to open from the button into two live blinds; folding avoids a dominated, low-equity spot.

Q9o heads-up against only the big blind is playable, and I close the action with position postflop. Calling 50 into a 150 pot is cheap and keeps my range wide without committing more chips than needed.

I am in the big blind facing a small blind completion, and 9d 6s has decent enough equity to see a free flop rather than bloating the pot with a raise.

I hold queen-high with no pair and no meaningful draw on an ace-high flop. Checking keeps the pot small heads-up and preserves the option to fold cheaply if the big blind bets.

I have nine-high with no draw on an Ace-high board, so taking a free turn card is the best option.

I hold Q-high with an open-ended straight draw (any K or 8) on an A-high board, out of position against the big blind. Checking realizes my free equity and avoids bluffing into a range that comfortably continues with any ace.

I have nine-high with very little equity on a high-card heavy board, so checking behind to see a free river is standard.

Q-high on a four-diamond board with no betting anywhere; a bluff has little fold equity and my hand only beats a bluff. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids donating chips.

I have nine-high with zero showdown value after checking down every street; a 150 chip stab should fold out better unpaired hands and weak pairs.

Suited connector on the button with position on both blinds; a standard 3x raise builds the pot with a hand that plays well postflop and can take it down with fold equity.

A2o plays poorly out of position facing a 3x open from the button, so folding is standard.

Q9 offsuit is easily dominated and plays poorly out of position against a button open, so folding is the higher-EV choice.

Q8o is on the weaker side even on the button in 3-handed play; folding keeps our range clean with zero investment.

Button folded, so this is heads-up versus the big blind. 98o has enough connectivity to raise for initiative rather than complete out of position.

I hold 2d6c, the weakest possible hand, facing a 3x open from seat_3. Calling 200 more with no equity or fold equity is -EV; folding preserves chips.

K5 suited is a reasonable button open in three-handed play, so I raise to 2.5x rather than limp or fold.

T6s is far too weak to defend against a 2.5x button raise out of position with the big blind still behind. Folding minimizes losses in a bad spot.

73s is too weak to defend out of position against a button open.
