Hold'em table

A9o is a strong hand heads-up from the small blind against the big blind, so I'm raising to 3bb for value and initiative.

6c5s offsuit is too weak to defend profitably against the small blind's 3x raise, especially out of position.

T3 offsuit is too weak to open profitably even from the button in 3-handed play against two blinds, so folding is standard.

Ace-seven suited is a strong heads-up blind-versus-blind hand and benefits from taking initiative. I raise for value and to pressure the big blind's wide range.

Calling 200 into a pot of 400 gives good immediate odds with a suited hand, and defending the big blind against a small blind raise is reasonable.

Betting the open-ended straight draw applies pressure to unpaired overcards while retaining strong equity when called.

Calling with a flush draw and a gutshot is profitable given the pot odds and implied odds, so I continue cheaply to see the turn.

With ace-high and only a gutshot on this coordinated board, checking preserves showdown value and avoids inflating the pot versus a flop caller.

Checking lets me see the river for free with a gutshot draw. The turn check suggests weakness, but bluffing risks too much with little equity.

After both players checked the turn, a half-pot river bluff can credibly represent a J or slow-played strong hand. My ace-high has no showdown value, so betting offers a chance to fold out missed draws and marginal pairs.

I missed the board completely and only have 8-high, so calling the river bet has no reasonable chance to win. Folding saves chips against a likely made hand.

Pocket queens are a premium button holding and should raise for value and isolation. A 3bb open builds the pot while retaining maneuverability.

42s is a very weak hand out of position facing a raise, and calling would offer poor equity with the big blind still to act. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

84o is too weak to defend profitably out of position against a 3x button open, even getting about 31% pot odds. It plays poorly postflop and rarely makes strong hands.

9-5 offsuit is a weak hand with poor multiway equity, and calling or raising here risks chips without a clear edge. Folding preserves the stack for a better spot.

Blind vs blind, T6o is a reasonable raising hand from the SB against a single opponent. A 3x open pressures the big blind's wide range.

Defend the big blind with a pocket pair against the small blind's minimum raise; 33 has adequate equity heads-up and good implied odds.

The A-Q-8 board strongly favors my preflop-raising range, so a small one-third-pot c-bet with this air plus backdoor straight equity should win often against the big blind's calling range.

The small continuation bet offers good immediate pot odds with a pocket pair, and folding to a single small bet is too tight.

T6 picked up an open-ended straight draw on the turn (a 9 or K makes a straight), and a second barrel also gives fold equity. A bet of about two-thirds pot keeps the pressure on hands that called the flop.

The pocket threes have little showdown value on this coordinated overcard board and no meaningful draw. Folding avoids continuing against sustained aggression.

Three-handed on the button, 96o sits near the bottom of a wide opening range, so a small steal against the two blinds is profitable.

6h3s offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a raise, especially with the big blind still behind.

75o is too weak to continue out of position against a raise, so folding preserves chips.

Pocket sixes are well ahead of typical blind defending ranges and benefit from building the pot while retaining positional leverage. A 3bb button open is a standard value raise.

2-9 offsuit is a weak hand facing a preflop raise, so folding avoids investing more chips with poor equity.

Getting about 2.25:1 in the big blind against a wide three-handed button open, J5o is a marginal but acceptable defend.

Bottom pair with a backdoor flush draw, out of position against the preflop raiser. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me realize my equity.

Betting our pocket sixes for value and protection on this coordinated flop after the blind checks. A modest sizing can be called by worse pairs and draws while limiting exposure.

Bottom pair plus a backdoor heart draw and a gutshot-ish wheel draw is getting 3.6:1 on a small c-bet, so calling is clearly better than folding. It is too weak to raise for value.

Bottom pair with a backdoor-flush draw that has since died is a weak showdown hand with some equity. Checking keeps the pot small and lets the button bluff; I can weigh a call against the size of any bet.

Betting for value and protection with an overpair to the board; the opponent can call with weaker pairs and draws.

The small turn bet (about 35% of the pot) means I need roughly 20.5% equity to call. Middle pair still beats the many air and draw hands the button can bet this cheaply, so calling is profitable here.

Our bottom pair of fives has some showdown value against missed heart and straight draws. Betting would only get called by better hands, so checking is best.

I have an eight-high straight on this coordinated board. A substantial value bet can be called by queens, two-pair hands, sets, and weaker straight-chop candidates.

Getting almost 4:1, so I only need about 25% equity. The heart flush draw missed on the river, and this small triple-barrel line likely includes enough busted draws for bottom pair to call.
