Hold'em table

Button steal attempt in 3-handed with a King-high hand; wide opening range here is profitable against two random blinds.

A9o is a marginal hand out of position against a button raise; folding avoids difficult postflop spots and preserves stack.

2-5 offsuit is one of the weakest hands. Calling 150 more out of position against a button open would lose chips in the long run, so I fold.

With T5o on the button, our hand is too weak to play profitably even in a 3-handed game; folding avoids unnecessary losses.

T6 suited in the small blind getting 2.5 to 1 against a big blind in a 3-handed pot is a profitable call, and it is not strong enough to raise.

T3o is weak, no reason to raise; check my option and see a cheap flop.

Ten-high with a backdoor flush draw and an overcard to the board, in a heads-up limped pot on a dry low flop. I act first, so a min-bet takes a cheap stab at the pot and charges worse hands, while I fold out equity when raised.

Weak hand (T-3 offsuit, no pair, no draw) facing a bet on a dry board; not worth continuing.

98 offsuit on the button in a 3-handed pot has decent playability, and calling 100 into a 150 pot gives a good price with position.

Suited connector-ish 98o closing the gap cheaply from SB with multiway pot and good implied odds; no need to raise.

With 7c9d offsuit from the big blind, checking is standard against two limps to see a cheap flop and avoid building a pot out of position with a weak hand.

Gutshot draw with no pair; checking to see a free/cheap card rather than bluffing into two opponents.

I have 7c 9d with no pair or draw on a Qs Ts 5d board. Checking to see a free turn and avoid investing more with a weak hand.

On the button with an open-ended straight draw (9-8 on T-5-Q) after both opponents checked, a small bet of 200 into the 300 pot can win the pot now and builds equity if called.

Only a weak gutshot straight draw with no pair or flush equity; not worth continuing against a flop raise out of position.

I have 9-high with only backdoor straight draws on a wet board. The 200 bet offers 2.5:1, but my equity is far too low to call profitably, so I fold.

Q4 offsuit is a weak hand from the button facing a raise-free pot; folding preserves chips for better spots.

Button folded, so we are heads-up against the big blind. Q8o is a marginal hand but raising to the minimum gives us a chance to steal the pot while risking little. Calling would invite a raise from the BB and leave us out of position postflop.

T7 offsuit is marginal, but I'm getting 3:1 pot odds in the big blind against a small blind raise to 2bb, which is likely a wide range. Calling 100 to see a flop is justified.

I have top pair with a weak kicker on a flush-draw board. Betting for value and protection to deny equity to draws and weaker hands, while keeping the pot manageable.

Ten-high with a backdoor straight draw (T-J-Q, needs 8-9 or K-9) is weak, but the price is good: 250 to call into 650, about 28% pot odds. Seat_2's small bet is wide-ranging in a 3-handed pot, so I will call and see the turn rather than fold. Raising is not warranted with this hand.

I have top pair with a decent kicker on a draw-heavy board, so I bet half pot to charge flush/straight draws and get value from weaker Qx and Jx.

Ten-high with only a gutshot (T-7 on 4-J-Q-2 has no straight draw really) facing a third barrel from a player who bet flop and turn; pot odds of 450 into 1350 need ~25% equity, and I have almost none against a value-heavy range. Fold.

Q9o is a marginal hand, but in position on the button with no callers yet, raising to 2.5bb to steal the blinds is profitable long-term.

Pocket nines in a 3-handed game is a strong hand. I'm in the small blind facing a button open to 250, so a 3-bet to 850 builds the pot and takes the initiative. Out of position, I'm raising rather than calling to also keep the big blind out cheaply.}

QTo facing a raise and a large 3-bet to 850 with to_call 750; not strong enough to continue profitably out of position against two aggressive opponents.

Q9o is a weak, easily dominated hand facing a substantial 3-bet from the small blind; calling 600 more with reverse implied odds is not profitable despite position.

T9o on the button in a 3-handed game is playable. Calling 100 to win a 150 pot gives good odds and I have position postflop.

72o is a weak hand; facing a call and limp with only SB invested, folding is cheap and avoids a bad multiway spot.

AQo is a premium hand in 3-handed play, especially against a button limp. Raising to 300 builds the pot for value and takes initiative.

T9o on the button getting 450+200 pot odds (need to call 200 to win 650, about 3.25:1) with position against a BB 3-bet-sized raise; suited-ish connectivity is marginal but the price and position justify a call.}

Continuation bet with overcards and gutshot straight draw on a semi-wet board to represent strength and potentially take down the pot.

Top pair (tens) with a 9 kicker and a backdoor straight draw on a J-T-5 board. Facing a small continuation bet of 325 into 975, the pot odds are good, so calling is better than folding or raising and building the pot out of position against a likely stronger range.

We have a gutshot to the nuts plus overcards, and the turn is a brick; barreling pressures weak pairs and draws while we can fold to a raise.

Top pair with a decent kicker (Ts 9c on Td Jc 5d 3c) plus a backdoor straight draw (8 or Q gives a straight). Calling 900 into a 2200 pot needs about 29% equity, and the hand has that against a continuing range that includes bluffs and draws. Raising would bloat the pot against a range that beats us, so just call.}

We have only one pair of jacks with no significant kicker advantage. Having bet flop and turn without getting a fold, checking the river avoids value-owning ourselves and allows us to reassess if opponent bets.

I have jacks and tens with a 9 kicker. Seat 2 bet the flop and turn and then checked the river, which looks like a missed draw or a weak made hand. A half-pot bet gets value from worse pairs and Jx hands.

I have only ace-high with no pair, while opponent has called two streets and then bet the river, strongly indicating a jack or better. My hand has no showdown value, so folding preserves my remaining stack.
