Hold'em table

73o is too weak to open from the button in a 3-handed game with two players left to act, so folding is the lowest-loss play.

KQs is a strong heads-up holding and merits an isolation raise from the small blind. A 3bb sizing builds value while applying pressure to the big blind.

JTo is strong enough to continue in the big blind heads-up; calling gives good pot odds and keeps the pot manageable out of position.

I will make a small continuation bet with two overcards and useful backdoor potential, pressuring unpaired hands while keeping the risk controlled on this paired board.

Top pair with a decent kicker on a dry board; raising for value and protection against overcards and straight draws.

KQ-high has little immediate equity on this paired board facing a flop raise, with only weak backdoor possibilities. Folding avoids continuing against a range weighted toward jacks and trips.

J7 suited has reasonable button playability three-handed, and a small open can leverage position while keeping the pot manageable.

Getting 150 to win 400 (about 27% equity needed) against a wide button open in 3-handed play, so 54o is a profitable defend from the big blind. Its playability is fine for a call but not strong enough to 3-bet.

I have 5-4 with no pair and only a weak gutshot/backdoor draw on an A-Q-J board, which strongly favors the button's raising range. Checking out of position is correct; I'll likely fold to a bet.

Betting small with middle pair protects against draws and can earn value from weaker jacks and straight draws while controlling the pot on this coordinated board.

The 5h4c has no pair and only a gutshot-free backdoor on the AQJ two-tone board, which hits the button's opening range hard. Calling 200 into 750 isn't justified, so I fold.

Raising with a pocket pair from the button to build the pot and apply pressure, leveraging position.

T6o from the small blind facing a button open to 3bb is too weak to call out of position with the big blind still to act, so folding is standard.

32 offsuit is far too weak to defend against a button 3x open heads-up out of position.

Three-handed on the button, a wide opening range is correct, and 43s has enough playability to open as a small-raise steal. Raising to 2.5bb gives fold equity against both blinds while keeping the cost low.

A2 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button open with the big blind still behind.

The pot is offering good odds (calling 150 to win 400), and Q7o has enough equity to defend the big blind against a button raise. I'll see a flop and play carefully out of position.

I have no made hand on this ace-high flop, so checking is the safest way to see the turn cheaply.

This A-K-3 board strongly favors the preflop raiser's range, so a small c-bet works well. My bottom pair with a backdoor wheel/flush draw has equity and some showdown value, and the bet can fold out better small pairs or pick up the pot outright.}

I have queen-high with no draw on an ace-king board against a preflop raiser who continuation bet, so calling is unlikely to win. Folding saves chips for a better spot.

Open-raise the button with 7-6 offsuit to leverage position and capture the blinds while retaining postflop playability.

3-4 offsuit is too weak to continue against a button raise out of position, especially for 2.5 big blinds. Folding preserves chips for a better spot.

Getting about 27% pot odds in the big blind against a wide 3-handed button open, 95o is a standard defend. Calling beats folding here, and a 3-bet with this hand would play poorly.

Middle pair with a weak kicker on a K-T-9 board that heavily favors the button's raising range; I'll check and use the showdown value rather than bet into a range that crushes me.

Betting our open-ended straight draw applies pressure and builds a pot when we improve. A modest sizing risks little while retaining fold equity.

Middle pair against a small c-bet (about 26% pot odds) has enough equity to call from the big blind. The button's range includes plenty of air and draws on this board.

Middle pair with a weak kicker on a K-T-9 board has showdown value but can't comfortably bet into a button that c-bet. Checking controls the pot, and I can decide on the river based on sizing.

I have no showdown value but retain a gutshot to an eight. A medium turn bet can fold out some weaker pairs and unpaired hands while applying pressure to the flop caller.

The price is good: 650 to win 2450 needs about 26.5% equity. Middle pair with five outs to improve beats the button's many draws and semi-bluffs on this connected board, so I'll call rather than fold to a medium-sized barrel.

A weak pair of nines on a coordinated board has showdown value but can't bet for value, and any queen completes a straight. Checking is best, and I'll likely give up to a sizable bet.

I have a made jack-high straight and should value bet against one-pair and two-pair holdings that can call. A moderate sizing limits losses against the likely higher queen straight.

Bottom pair of nines on a very coordinated K-J-T-9 board, facing a third barrel. Villain's range is mostly Kx, two pair, sets and straights, so even at about 21% pot odds a nine rarely wins.

2To is a weak offsuit hand and I am first to act preflop, so folding avoids investing chips with poor equity and position.

Blind vs blind, Q4o is a reasonable raising hand from the small blind against a single opponent. Raising to 3bb takes the initiative and wins the pot often preflop.

With pocket sevens heads-up against a small-blind open, I 3-bet for value and to deny overcard equity.

Q4o is too weak to continue against a 3-bet, especially out of position, and the pot odds don't justify calling 600 with this hand.
