Hold'em table

J3 offsuit is a weak button holding and not worth entering against two blinds at this stack depth.

A9o is well ahead of a big blind's defending range in a blind-vs-blind spot after the button folds. Raising to 3bb applies pressure and takes the initiative.

The button has folded, and 7♣3♣ is a marginal but playable suited hand against a small-blind raise. Calling lets me see the flop in position without building a large pot.

As the preflop raiser on a dry T-5-2 rainbow board, I have a range advantage and an ace-high hand with overcard equity, so a small c-bet of a third of the pot works well.

The small flop bet gives good pot odds to continue in position. I have backdoor flush and straight possibilities, and can reassess on the turn.

With only ace-high and no real draw, and a caller likely holding a ten, a five or a draw, I'll check and keep the pot small. I'll give up to meaningful aggression.

I have little showdown value, and the preflop raiser's turn check creates a chance to win the pot with a bluff.

Ace-high with no draw on Q-T-5-2 against a turn bet from a player who called the flop. We need about 28% equity to call, and we fall well short of that.

J2 offsuit is too weak to open from the button in 3-handed play with two players left to act, so folding is standard.

Q3 offsuit is worth completing for 50 chips heads-up, but it is too weak to build a larger pot out of position.

J9 offsuit is a reasonable heads-up isolation hand versus a small-blind limp, and raising takes initiative while likely retaining position postflop.

Q3 offsuit is too weak to call a raise to 400, especially when I’ll be out of position after the flop.

T5 suited is playable from the button in a three-handed game. A small raise can win the blinds or let me play in position.

K8 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button open with the big blind still behind.

A2s in the big blind against a button 2.5x open is ahead of a wide opening range, and the ace blocker plus suited playability make it a good 3-bet bluff candidate. Calling is also fine, but 3-betting to 10bb builds fold equity against a wide button range.

T5 suited is too weak to continue against a large three-bet, even with position.

T6 offsuit is a weak button holding and not worth entering with at this stack depth.

AJo is a strong hand in a blind-vs-blind spot after the button folded, so I'm raising for value to 3bb.

Nine-six suited is worth defending against a small-blind raise, especially with position after the flop and only 200 more to call.

Top pair with a decent kicker on an A-K-high board that favors the preflop raiser; a small c-bet of about a third of the pot gets value from Kx, weaker aces and draws while keeping the pot controlled out of position."}

I have nine-high with no pair or meaningful draw on an ace-king flop. Calling or bluff-raising this bet is unlikely to be profitable.

T8o is a standard button open in 3-handed play against two blinds, so I'm raising to 2.5bb.

K8 offsuit is often dominated by a button opening range and plays poorly out of position with the big blind still to act.

9-4 offsuit is too weak to defend profitably against a button raise.

QTo is strong enough to open on the button three-handed. A 2.5 big blind raise pressures the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

Qs6d is a weak offsuit hand facing a button open from the small blind, with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids defending a dominated, poorly playable holding out of position.

K9o in the big blind facing a 2.5x button open in 3-handed play is a clear defend, since the button's range is wide and I'm getting 150 to win 400. Calling keeps weaker hands in, while 3-betting would mostly get called or shoved on by better hands.

K9 with a gutshot-free king-high on a J73 board is out of position against the button raiser; checking to the preflop aggressor is standard. I can decide on a response to a small c-bet afterwards.

A small continuation bet on this dry flop can fold out some unpaired hands while risking relatively little. Q-T also has some ways to improve if called.

Against a small one-third-pot c-bet I only need about 20% equity. King-high with an overcard and backdoor straight potential can profitably continue in the big blind.

I have king high with a gutshot to a queen (K-Q-J-10 needs both, so really just overcards), and the ace on the turn helps the button's opening range. Check and give up unless a cheap spot appears.

The ace favors my preflop raising range, so I’ll bet to pressure the opponent’s weaker flop calls. I also have a gutshot straight draw if called.

King-high with no pair and no real draw on A-J-7-3 has too little equity to call a 600-chip bet into a 910-chip pot, and the Ace favors the button's range.
