Hold'em table

92 suited is too weak to open profitably from the button against two blinds at 3-handed; folding is standard.

Weak hand (T-3 offsuit) out of position; the pot odds don't justify continuing against the big blind's random range.

On the button with A7o, I raise to pressure the blinds and take down the dead money, while keeping position if called.

7-6 offsuit has sufficient playability to defend the small blind against a small button open at this price.

Closing the action at 4:1 pot odds, 63o has enough raw equity multiway to justify a cheap defend, though I'll play it cautiously postflop.

With only six-high and no diamond, this is a poor multiway bluff candidate on a queen-high board. Check and retain the option to react to subsequent action.

I only have a gutshot to a 4 plus a backdoor flush draw, and the preflop raiser is still to act behind me in a three-way pot. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me see what the others do.

I have ace-high with a backdoor straight draw and no made hand, and the pot is small. Checking keeps the pot manageable and lets me see a free turn card.

With only a gutshot and no meaningful showdown value in a three-way pot, checking keeps the pot controlled and preserves the chance to improve.

The flop checked through three ways, including by the preflop raiser, so both opponents look weak. A small semi-bluff with a gutshot (any 4 makes my straight) can take the pot now and still has outs if called.

I have only Ace-high with no draws, and facing a turn raise after the flop was checked, my hand is unlikely to be best. Calling 400 for a chance to hit an Ace or 7 is not profitable given the pot odds and weak hand, so I fold to preserve chips.

With 7-high and no meaningful draw on the turn, calling has essentially no showdown value. Folding preserves chips against the delayed bet.

AK offsuit is a premium button opening hand three-handed, so I raise for value and initiative.

62o is far too weak to continue out of position from the small blind against a button open with the big blind still to act.

I'm getting good pot odds in the big blind and closing the action, so I can take a flop with a speculative hand.

I have no made hand on this paired ace flop, so checking is the best way to see the turn cheaply and avoid building a pot with 6-high.

I have trip aces with the best realistic kicker and should value bet against weaker aces, pocket pairs, and draws. A moderate sizing keeps those hands in while building the pot.

AKo on the button in 3-handed is a premium hand; a standard 2.5bb open builds the pot while keeping weaker hands in.

A4s is strong enough to call the button's open, and I avoid bloating the pot out of position. Calling keeps my range wide and lets me see a flop with a suited ace.

T3 offsuit is far too weak to defend against a raise and a cold call from the big blind.

With bottom pair but no spade on a monotone flop, I prefer to check and control the pot out of position. I can reevaluate on the turn if the opponent bets.

The nut flush draw plus two overcards on a monotone board plays well as a small c-bet: it gets folds from weaker hands and still has plenty of equity when called. A third-pot sizing keeps the pot controlled if we're check-raised.

9-high with a weak kicker is not worth completing from the small blind against the big blind.

Q5 offsuit is a marginal but playable button open in a three-handed game. Raising to a minimum size pressures the blinds while keeping the risk low.

Against a wide button min-raise, calling 150 into 500 gives good pot odds, and J9o has enough playability to continue despite being out of position.

Getting good pot odds (5:1) with A-high that has playable equity against both ranges, so I close the action and see a flop.

Top two pair on a very wet, straight-heavy board in a three-way pot, so I bet about two-thirds pot for value and to charge the many draws.

We have only ace-high with no strong draw on a wet board, and the pot odds of 2.5:1 don't justify calling 400 against a likely continuation bet.

I have an open-ended straight draw on this connected flop and can profitably continue for the small sizing in position, retaining flexibility on later streets.

Top two pair is strong but vulnerable on a coordinated board with a new flush draw and straight cards. A bet of about two-thirds pot gets value from Jx, 9x, 8x and draws while charging them to continue.

With only a gutshot to a likely shared straight and no heart, calling the turn bet is not profitable against this continued aggression.
