Hold'em table

Raise the button with K6 suited to leverage position and initiative against the blinds.

Three-three offsuit is a weak hand to play out of position against a button raise to 300, so folding the small blind is the disciplined choice.

A4o in the big blind getting 450 to 200 (about 2.25:1) against a button open to 3bb; the hand is a clear defend and playing it in position-disadvantaged but cheap fashion is fine, so I call rather than bloat the pot.

Ace-high with a backdoor gutshot on a K-high board, out of position against the preflop raiser. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me see what the button does. The hand has some showdown value but is not strong enough to bet for value.

Betting top pair for value and protection against weaker kings, sevens, and drawing hands. A moderate sizing keeps worse hands in while building the pot.

Ace-high with a weak backdoor wheel draw on a K-high board facing a 400 bet into 650 is a marginal spot. The button's range is wide, but I have little equity and no good raise, so I'll give up the hand.

King-nine suited on the button is a strong steal hand in 3-handed play, so I raise to isolate and take initiative from the blinds.

T5 offsuit from the small blind facing a button open to 250 with the big blind still to act is a weak hand that plays poorly out of position, so folding is best.

2d5h offsuit is far too weak to defend against a button raise, especially with no additional players in the pot.

A9 suited on the button in a 3-handed game is a strong enough hand to open for a standard raise and take the initiative against the blinds.

K-high with a deuce is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button raise, especially out of position.

Ace-trey offsuit is a playable hand, and calling 150 into a 400 pot to see a cheap flop is reasonable from the big blind against a button raise.

Top pair with ace kicker on a dry board, so I'm betting for value to build the pot while holding a strong made hand.

Top pair with a decent kicker on a wet board, facing a small bet into a decent pot. Calling keeps weaker hands in and avoids bloating the pot against a possible draw or better ace.

Top two pair (aces and eights) is strong on this board, so I'm betting for value to build the pot against a seat that has shown it will call.

I have top pair with a decent kicker (Ad 9d on Ah 8h 7d 8c). Calling 600 into a 1750 pot gives about 3.9 to 1 odds. I'm ahead of many of the big blind's betting hands, so I call and avoid a raise that could push me off a hand with showdown value.

We hold two pair (aces and eights) on a paired board. Checking is free and keeps the pot manageable while we let the opponent, who has called two bets, decide whether to bet.

Board 8h Ah 7d 8c Jd; I hold Ad 9d for two pair, aces and eights, with a good kicker. Seat 2 bet flop and turn then checked the river, so they are likely weak or giving up. A value bet of about 40% of the pot should get called by worse aces and some pairs or draws that missed.

I hold two pair, Aces and Eights, which is strong on this board, and calling 900 into a 3250 pot is well within the pot odds needed to continue against a river bet.

Pocket eights are a strong opening hand on the button in a three-handed game. Raising builds value and can win the blinds immediately.

Seven-jack offsuit is a weak hand to call a button raise out of the small blind, and the price doesn't justify playing it against two opponents.

A7s in the big blind facing a 3x button open, getting 450 to 200 (about 2.25:1) heads-up. The hand has good equity and playability against a wide button range, so calling is better than folding or bloating the pot out of position.

Top pair with an ace on a 4-A-4 board is strong against a button raiser's wide range. I'll bet about 60% of the pot for value and to charge flush draws and other hands that call.

Pocket eights retain showdown value against potential flop stabs and worse pairs. Calling keeps weaker hands and bluffs in while avoiding an inflated pot on an ace-high paired board.

I have top pair with a weak kicker on a paired board, and I led the flop. Betting about 40% of the pot on the turn gets value from weaker aces and 8s and denies equity to draws, while a check would give a free card.

We have a strong full house, eights full of fours, and should raise for value against aces, trips, and weaker made hands. A moderate raise keeps those holdings in while building the pot.

Top pair with a weak kicker is well ahead of draws and bluffs. Calling 1400 into a 4050 pot needs only about 26% equity, so folding is too tight and a raise would only get called by better hands.

I hold top pair with a 7 kicker on A-4-4-8-2 (As 7c). Seat_1 raised the turn big, which looks strong, but I called, and now I'm first to act with a decent one-pair hand. Betting about a third of the pot gets value from weaker aces and some protection, while giving up less than checking; checking is also reasonable, so I'm using a moderate sizing.

With eights full of fours, I have an extremely strong value hand and can get called by many 4x and strong ace holdings. Shoving maximizes value while only a very narrow range of higher full houses or quads beats me.

I have top pair with a decent kicker (Ace-seven) on a paired board, which beats many bluffs. The pot is offering 14550 to 5500, so I need only about 27% equity, and seat_1's jam after raising the turn is plausibly strong but could also be an overplayed ace or a bluff. This is a close call, but the price is good.

Pocket jacks are strong preflop, so I'm raising to build the pot and charge the blinds to continue.

T6 offsuit is a weak hand out of position in the small blind against a button raise to 300, with the big blind still left to act. Calling 250 more is a losing play, so I fold.

K4 offsuit is too weak to defend against a button 3x open without additional reads, especially out of position.

T2 offsuit is a weak hand, and I'm out of position against two players who still have to act after me. Folding costs nothing here and avoids a likely losing spot.

Complete the small blind with a connected hand and play a heads-up pot.

I have the big blind with no bet to call, so checking sees a free flop with A-3 offsuit rather than bloating the pot out of position.

Check the medium-strength draw on this ace-king board; it has flush potential but little immediate showdown value.

Top pair of aces with a 3 kicker is a strong made hand, and the checked flop suggests the opponent is weak, so a small value bet builds the pot.

The weak eight-high flush draw does not have sufficient direct odds facing this flop bet, and it can be dominated when a spade arrives.
