Hold'em table

7-3 offsuit is too weak to open from the button against two players.

KQs is a strong hand in a blind-vs-blind situation after the button folds. Raising for value and initiative is better than just completing, as it can take the pot down or build a pot with a strong holding.

JTo plays well in position against a small blind open, and getting 2:1 pot odds makes this a standard defense.

I have two overcards and a flush draw on a paired board, and as the preflop raiser a continuation bet can take the pot down or set up a strong turn barrel. Betting 300 into 600 applies pressure while keeping the risk reasonable.

I flopped top pair with a decent kicker in position against a standard continuation bet, making a call clearly profitable.

KQ high with no pair on a paired board; checking to realize equity and avoid bloating the pot against a caller.

I have top pair with a mediocre kicker on a paired board; checking back controls pot size and allows me to see the river safely.

With king-high on a paired board and opponent likely holding at least a pair, checking is the safest play to avoid bluffing into a strong range and control the pot.

We hold Fives full of Jacks, which beats all lower pocket pairs that also made a full house. Betting around 40% pot targets calls from middle pairs like 66-TT.

KQ high has no pair and no showdown value on this paired board; facing a river value bet, folding is the best play.

J7s on the button is a reasonable 3-handed steal/playable hand; raising applies pressure on the blinds and gives me position if called.

A5o does not have enough playability out of position against a 3bb button open with the big blind still to act.

54 offsuit plays poorly out of position against a button raise, and calling is unlikely to realize enough equity.

Pocket eights on the button is a strong opening hand in 3-handed play; raising to 2.5bb for value and position.

T6 offsuit is too weak to call a button raise from the small blind with the big blind still to act.

3h2s is a very weak offsuit hand facing a button raise; folding avoids playing a dominated trash hand out of position.

On the button in a three-handed pot, suited connected cards are playable with position. A small raise gives me a chance to win the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

A2o has blocker value and is a standard 3bet bluff from the small blind against a button open. I'll raise to 900 to take down the pot or isolate.

Holding Q7o facing an open-raise and a 3-bet from the blinds is an easy fold.

Four-three suited is too weak to continue against this large three-bet, even with position.

76o on the button has decent playability and position; raising applies pressure and can take down the blinds preflop.

Folding 43o from the small blind against a button open as it is far too weak to defend out of position.

Nine-five offsuit plays poorly out of position against a button raise, and the price is not attractive enough to defend.

T2o is far too weak to open on the button even 3-handed, making this an easy standard fold.

Heads-up in the small blind, Q4 offsuit is playable against the big blind. A modest raise pressures their random hand without committing too much.

Call with a medium pair in position; keep the pot controlled and evaluate on the flop rather than bloating it against a small-blind open.

This low, connected flop favors the big blind's calling range, and queen-high has little immediate equity. Checking avoids building the pot with a weak hand.

I flopped top set on a draw-heavy board and should bet for value and protection against flush and straight draws.

Queen-high has no immediate draw on this flop, and calling 400 out of position offers poor prospects for realizing its limited equity.
