Hold'em table

73o is too weak to open from the button in 3-handed play at 100bb deep. Folding is standard.

KQs is a strong blind-versus-blind hand, so raise for value and initiative rather than just completing the small blind.

JTo is strong enough to defend the big blind against a small-blind raise, and I'll have position after the flop.

A small flop bet applies pressure on a paired board where my preflop range has strong overpairs, and K-Q has two overcards plus backdoor club-flush potential.

Top pair with a ten kicker is strong enough to continue against a small flop bet, but raising would risk building a large pot against better hands.

With only king-high and no meaningful draw after the turn, a bet is unlikely to improve my position against a flop caller. I’ll take the free card and preserve the pot.

Top pair is likely ahead after the opponent checks. A half-pot bet gets value from weaker pairs and charges overcards.

K-high has no meaningful draw on this board, and the turn bet requires too much equity to continue against a line that can readily contain a pair. I fold rather than invest another 500 chips.

J7 suited is a reasonable button open in a three-handed game. Raise to 2.5 big blinds to apply pressure while keeping the pot manageable.

A5 offsuit is strong enough to contest a button open three-handed. Raising gives the big blind a tougher decision and uses the ace as a blocker.

54o facing an open plus a 3-bet, with the original raiser still to act behind, is a clear fold. We are closing out of position with poor odds.

J♦7♦ is too weak to continue against this unusually large 3-bet; calling would require substantial equity against a likely strong range.

Pocket eights are strong on the button three-handed, so I open-raise to build the pot while retaining position.

T6o from the small blind against a button open, with the big blind still to act behind, is a clear fold. It plays out of position and dominated too often to be worth calling.

32 offsuit is far too weak to defend against a button raise, even with the pot odds; folding avoids investing more out of position.

Button 3-handed with a suited connector-ish hand; a small steal raise is standard given the wide ranges in 3-max.

A2 offsuit is a marginal call out of position, but the ace blocker makes it a reasonable occasional 3-bet bluff against the button open. Raising to 850 applies pressure while keeping the sizing conventional.

Q7 offsuit plays poorly out of position against a button open and small-blind three-bet. Calling 750 more or four-betting is unlikely to be profitable.

43s is too weak to profitably call a 3.4x out-of-position-style 3-bet from the small blind; although I'd be in position, the SB range is strong, and folding is standard.

With a connected hand on the button in a three-handed game, opening is profitable; a modest raise applies pressure while keeping the pot manageable.

4-3 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

Getting 400:150 against a button open, so 95o is a reasonable defend from the big blind with position disadvantage but good pot odds.

Middle pair with a weak kicker on a connected K-high board that favors the button's range. Out of position, checking controls the pot and lets me bluff-catch against their c-bets.

I have only a gutshot on a connected flop that likely favors the big blind’s calling range. I’ll take the free card rather than bluff into a board that can continue strongly.

The button checked back the flop, which weakens their range, so a small bet with middle pair gets thin value from weaker pairs and Ax hands. It also charges the many straight draws on this connected board.

My hand has only a four-out gutshot to a straight and no meaningful pair or other draw. Calling 300 with those odds against the turn bet is not worthwhile.

T2 offsuit is too weak to open profitably on the button against two unknown blinds.

Blind vs blind, Q4o is a reasonable open-raise from the SB against a single opponent; a 3x raise applies pressure and takes the initiative.

Pocket sevens are strong enough to continue against the small blind’s raise, but calling keeps weaker hands in and avoids inflating the pot out of position.

Small c-bet with a backdoor flush draw, gutshot (a 3 makes the wheel), and a queen overcard on a dry low board that favors the preflop raiser's range. Betting a third of the pot keeps it cheap and uses our range advantage.

Top set is a very strong hand, and raising builds the pot while charging club draws and other possible draws. A substantial raise still leaves room to continue against a reraise.

A flush draw (4c with two clubs on board) plus a Q overcard gets decent odds: 550 to win 2100, about 26% equity needed, with implied odds on the turn and river. Re-raising out of position with a low flush draw is too thin.

The queen gives me top pair, but my 4 kicker is weak against a flop raiser whose range has many 7x hands, sets, overpairs and draws. Checking keeps the pot controlled and lets their bluffs and draws keep betting.

I have a strong set and should extract value from Qx, weaker pairs, and club draws while charging those draws. A roughly two-thirds-pot bet is a solid sizing after the turn check.

Top pair beats the club draws and middle pairs in the check-raiser's barreling range, and I need only about 29% equity at these pot odds. A raise would only get called by better hands, so calling keeps his bluffs in.

Top pair with a weak kicker is well behind the opponent's flop raise and turn barrel range, so I check for pot control. Betting would only get called by hands that beat me.

My set of sevens is strong on this relatively dry board, and the river check gives me a good chance to get called by a queen or weaker made hand. A half-pot value bet targets those calls without overcommitting.

I need about 25% equity to call. The villain's check-raise-and-barrel line includes plenty of missed club and straight draws, which my top pair beats. Folding would be too exploitable at these odds.
