Hold'em table

92o is completely unplayable even from the button in 3-handed play.

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

T6o is too weak to continue out of position against a 3x open, even heads-up. Folding avoids a dominated, low-equity spot.

J3 offsuit is weak, but on the button the price to limp is reasonable and I have position postflop.

94o is too weak to continue from the small blind after the button limps, even for only 50 more. Folding avoids a dominated multiway pot.

I am in the big blind facing a limp and a fold, so checking to see a free flop with J5o is the best play.

In a limped pot out of position, checking with a gutshot straight draw to see what the button does is standard.

I have only a gutshot and limited backdoor potential, but can take a free turn in position without risking chips.

I hold a gutshot straight draw and checking allows me to realize equity for free out of position.

A small turn stab can fold out some unpaired hands after two checks, while my four-out straight draw gives me some equity if called.

I hold a gutshot straight draw with just four outs to a 3, giving around 8.7% equity. Facing a half-pot turn bet where I need 25% direct pot odds, implied odds do not sufficiently compensate in a limped pot.

T6 offsuit is too weak and disconnected to open from the button in a three-handed pot; folding avoids a dominated, poorly playable hand.

J9o is strong enough to attack the big blind blind-versus-blind; raising to 3 bb exerts pressure and gains initiative.

JTo is strong enough to defend the big blind heads-up against the small blind’s raise, and calling keeps weaker hands in the pot without inflating it out of position.

We missed the flop completely with Jack-high and no strong draws out of position; checking is standard to control the pot.

I have no pair or immediate draw, and the ace-high flop likely favors the preflop raiser. I’ll take the free card rather than bluff with little equity.

I picked up a double gutshot straight draw on the turn, making this an ideal spot to semi-bluff against a capped flop checking range.

J-high has no pair and only a gutshot to a 9, giving too little equity to call this turn bet at the offered pot odds.

98s on the button in 3-handed play is a standard opening hand; raising to 2.5bb to build a pot with position and playability.

AhTs is strong enough to 3-bet for value against a button open, and raising to 900 applies pressure while limiting the big blind’s ability to continue cheaply.

2-5 offsuit is far too weak to continue facing a raise and a 3-bet out of position. Folding preserves the stack for better spots.

Calling the 3-bet with 98s in position getting good implied odds and direct pot odds with 100bb effective stacks.

I have only ace-high with no immediate draw on a paired, coordinated board. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me respond to the button's action.

Checking back in position to take a free card and see if we can pick up equity or evaluate turn action.

The ace is favorable for my preflop 3-betting range, and top pair can get value from weaker aces and queens. A small bet also charges draws while keeping the pot manageable with a ten kicker.

I have nine-high with no outs or draw on an ace-high board facing a bet after opponent's preflop 3-bet.

T7 suited is a playable button hand in a three-handed pot, so I’ll open-raise to apply pressure and take initiative.

Pocket eights are ahead of a button open in three-handed play, so I 3-bet to 800 for value and to take the initiative before the big blind acts.

Folding J6o facing an open and a 3-bet preflop.

T7 suited is too weak to continue against a sizable 3-bet; calling would put in more chips with poor equity and playability.

Three-handed on the button, Js6s is suited and playable enough for a small open that can take the blinds or continue in position.

AQo is a premium hand in 3-handed play; 3-betting from the small blind builds the pot and exerts pressure on the button's wide opening range.

J♣9♣ is playable in position, but the large 3-bet to 10 big blinds makes this a poor call from the big blind, especially with the original raiser still to act.

Js6s is too weak to continue against a 10bb three-bet; folding avoids putting more chips in with a dominated, low-equity hand.
