Hold'em table

Nine-deuce suited is too weak to open profitably against two blinds at 100bb.

T3 offsuit is weak, but with the button folded the pot is heads-up and the call is only 50 more into a 200-chip pot. I’ll complete the blind and avoid building a large pot preflop.

A6o is well ahead of a small blind limping range, so raising for value and initiative from the big blind is good; 4x makes sense given we'll be in position disadvantage postflop.

T3 offsuit is far too weak to continue against a substantial raise, especially out of position. Fold and preserve the remaining stack.

A7 offsuit is a reasonable button open three-handed, and a 2.5bb raise applies pressure to the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

76o from the small blind facing a button open, with the big blind still to act behind, is a clear fold. It plays poorly out of position and is too weak to 3-bet profitably.

6-3 offsuit plays poorly out of position against a button raise, and the price does not justify defending.

AKo on the button in 3-handed play is a premium hand, so I open-raise to 2.5bb for value.

Six-deuce offsuit is too weak to defend the small blind against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

6♦5♠ is a weak offsuit hand, and calling 150 out of position against the button’s raise is not worthwhile.

Ace-king offsuit is a strong button opening hand. Raising to 250 builds the pot while keeping the sizing modest.

A4 suited is a strong 3-bet candidate against a button open, and raising helps avoid playing a likely multiway pot out of position. The size applies pressure while leaving room to maneuver postflop.

T3 offsuit is far too weak to continue in the big blind facing an open and a 3-bet, with the opener still left to act behind.

AK offsuit is strong enough to four-bet against a small-blind three-bet. Raising to 2150 applies pressure while retaining position.

A4 suited is a reasonable 3-bet, but facing a large 4-bet out of position, it lacks the equity and playability to continue profitably.

A3 offsuit is a profitable button open in three-handed play; raise to 2.5 big blinds to apply pressure while keeping weaker hands in the range.

95o from the small blind facing a button open, with the big blind still to act behind, is a clear fold. Calling out of position with a weak offsuit hand loses money.

A8 offsuit is strong enough to defend the big blind against a button raise, and calling keeps the pot manageable out of position.

With ace-high and no club on a coordinated flop, I prefer to check rather than build the pot out of position.

A-high has some showdown value but no made hand or immediate draw, and this coordinated two-tone flop connects well with the big blind’s calling range. I’ll take the free card in position.

Ace-high with a gutshot has some showdown value, but betting into the preflop raiser on this turn is unlikely to get enough better hands to fold. I can see a river for free if they check back.

Bet 350 into 550 as a semi-bluff: the ace-high hand has a strong flush draw and a gutshot to Broadway, plus a chance to win immediately after both players checked the flop.

Ace-high has only a gutshot to a jack, and calling 350 into a 900-chip pot requires more equity than this hand is likely to have.

In 3-handed play the button opens a wide range, and Q5o is a reasonable steal against the two blinds. A raise to 2.5bb applies pressure without risking much.

J9 offsuit is a marginal hand to defend from the small blind against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

A3 offsuit is a reasonable big-blind defend against a button open, and the price is favorable. Calling keeps weaker hands in the pot without inflating it with a marginal hand.

I have only ace-high with no meaningful draw on a connected flop, so I’ll check and avoid building the pot out of position.

This connected J-9-8 board hits the big blind's defending range hard, and Q-high with a gutshot does better taking a free card than betting into a likely check-raise.

I have only ace-high with little meaningful equity, and the turn pairs the board. Checking keeps the pot small and preserves the chance to improve on the river.

Queen-high with a gutshot on a very wet board; bluffing into a check-calling range of pairs has poor fold equity, so I'll take the free card to try to hit a ten for the Q-high straight.

With ace-high, I have reasonable showdown value after both players checked the flop and turn. A bet is unlikely to get called by worse, while the coordinated board gives plenty of better hands that could call.

Bottom pair has some showdown value against a range that checked every street, and a bet would rarely fold out better hands on this straight-heavy board. Checking back takes the free showdown.
