Hold'em table

Q2o is too weak to open even from the button in a 3-handed game. Folding is standard.

K6 suited is a reasonable hand to complete from the small blind at this price. I’ll avoid inflating the pot and see whether the big blind checks or raises.

In the big blind with 92s facing an SB complete, taking the free flop is the standard and highest EV play.

I have middle pair with a strong kicker, so a small bet can get value from weaker pairs and draws while charging overcards. A modest size limits the risk on this connected, two-diamond board.

I flopped top pair on a connected board and am getting 3:1 pot odds to call a half-pot continuation bet.

I have a weak pair on a coordinated turn, and the flop call makes a value bet unattractive. I’ll check and avoid building the pot.

I have top pair with a weak kicker on a heavily connected board with straight and flush possibilities; checking behind controls the pot size and realizes showdown value.

I have only a weak pair, and the river completes the diamond flush draw on a connected board. Checking avoids putting more chips in against likely stronger hands. }

I have top pair with a weak kicker on a board with straight and flush possibilities; checking behind has solid showdown value without risk.

KTo is a strong button hand in a three-handed game, so I’ll open-raise for value and initiative.

62s is far too weak to defend out of position from the small blind against a button open with the big blind still to act.

Pot odds of 150 into 400 are cheap enough to defend the big blind heads-up with a jack; I'll fold if I miss the flop against the button's range.

I missed the flop entirely with jack-high and no real draws; checking keeps the pot small and lets me fold cheaply to any aggression from the preflop raiser.

K-high has little equity or useful backdoor potential on this connected, two-heart flop. I’ll take the free card and avoid risking a bet against the big blind’s continuing range.

I only have ace-high with J-6 and no draws; the preflop raiser checked flop back, so I have no fold equity worth risking chips on the K turn. Check and fold to aggression.

I have second pair with a modest kicker on an ace-high board, so a turn bet has limited value and risks isolating myself against stronger hands. I’ll take the free river card and keep the pot small.

I hold J-high with no showdown value, and seat_3's line (preflop raise then check-check-check) looks capped and weak. A half-pot river bluff can fold out their mid pairs, and I lose nothing by checking if they were trapping.

The river bet is small relative to the pot, and my two pair is a solid bluff-catcher against missed hearts and other bluffs after two checked streets. The opponent may have an ace, but I need only about 23% equity to call.

Opening KTo on the button 3-handed is a standard value raise to apply pressure on the blinds and take position postflop.

Queen-high suited is strong enough to defend the small blind against a 2.5x open; calling keeps the pot small and preserves fold equity for later streets.

T2 offsuit is a very weak hand facing a raise and a call, and I would be out of position in a three-way pot. The price is not enough to make continuing worthwhile.

I missed the flop with Q-high on a paired board, so checking keeps the pot free; I can fold to aggression or take a free card if checked through.

Check behind with King-high on a paired low board to realize equity in position without inflating the pot.

I hold only queen-high on a paired board against a preflop raiser; with no equity to value-bet and a check available, checking keeps the pot small and avoids building it with a weak hand.

Checking back on the turn with King-high to see a free river and potentially re-evaluate for a river bluff or showdown.

My Q-high misses the board entirely, and seat 1's preflop raise range that checked down flop and turn is dominated by pocket pairs that all beat me. Checking is free; I'll fold to any river bet since a bluff has almost no fold equity against their checking-down range.

We spiked top pair on the river after checking through flop and turn. A value bet targeting weaker pairs and pocket pairs that checked three times makes sense.

My hand is essentially K-Q high (board pairs the fives), which loses to every pair, ace-high, or club flush. A preflop raiser betting river after checking flop and turn is far more often value than a bluff I beat, so calling 350 into 950 isn't profitable.

Queen-two offsuit is far too weak to call even from the button; it rarely connects and plays poorly postflop against two blinds. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

T7 suited is playable heads-up against the big blind, and completing costs only 50 chips into the existing pot. I’ll keep the pot small out of position.

Holding A6o in the big blind facing an SB limp, checking allows us to see a free flop in position with solid equity.

I have only a gutshot straight draw and can take a free card against the big blind. Checking keeps the pot small while preserving my chance to improve.

I hold top pair with a weak kicker on a very wet Broadway board. Checking behind controls the pot and protects my showdown value against better aces and two-pair combos.

I have only a gutshot to Broadway and no made hand; checking keeps the pot small and preserves my chance to improve on the river.

Holding top pair with a weak kicker, checking behind controls the pot size and allows me to see the river in position safely.

With only ten-high, I have little showdown value, but the three-club river is a credible scare card after the checks. A small 100-chip bluff risks little to win the 200-chip pot.

I hold two pair, Aces and Sixes, with the nut flush blocker (Ac). Calling a single bet on the river is clearly +EV against missed draws and weaker pairs.

A-J offsuit is a strong button hand in a three-handed game, so raise for value and take advantage of position. A 2.5× big-blind raise is a solid size.

Q4o is far too weak to defend from the small blind against a button open.

7s3s is near the bottom of my range; calling 150 more out of position against a button raise gives poor equity realization, so folding preserves chips.
