Hold'em table

Ace-ten offsuit is a strong button opening hand three-handed, so I raise to 2.5 big blinds.

Holding 5c 3h out of position facing a button open is an easy standard fold.

Closing the action with 2.67:1 pot odds against a likely wide button open, K6o is worth a defend despite being offsuit and out of position.

K-high with a backdoor heart draw on a J-high flop; checking keeps the pot small and lets me see a free turn card out of position.

A small continuation bet can fold out some unpaired hands and deny equity while keeping the pot manageable with ace-high.

K6o on a J72 two-heart board is a weak, dominated high-card hand out of position, and the button's preflop raise plus flop bet shows enough strength that continuing would be unprofitable.

87s is a premier suited connector that plays exceptionally well in position; opening to 2.5bb is standard button play.

With 2d3h out of position facing a button raise, the hand has very poor equity and playability. Folding avoids investing more chips with a weak offsuit connector.

AQ offsuit is strong against a button opening range. I’ll three-bet for value from the big blind, using a larger size because I’m out of position.

With 87s on the button, calling a 10bb 3-bet in position with deep effective stacks offers sufficient implied odds and playability.

Top pair with a strong kicker is ahead of many hands that called the three-bet. A small bet gets value from weaker aces and kings while charging club draws.

I have eight-high with no meaningful draw on an Ace-King flop against a preflop three-bettor who is c-betting.

K2o on the button is a standard steal spot; raising to 250 applies pressure and gives me position if called.

A small pair can profitably call a 2.5-big-blind button raise at this depth, particularly with no rake. I’ll look to make a set without building a large pot out of position.

Q2o is far too weak to defend out of position even getting good pot odds against a raise and call.

My small pocket pair has little equity on this connected flop, and betting out of position is unlikely to get enough better hands to fold.

My hand has little equity on a wet board and the caller's range connects well; checking back controls the pot and avoids being raised off air.

My small pair has some showdown value, but a turn bet is unlikely to get called by worse hands. Checking keeps the pot manageable.

Opponent checked twice on a draw-heavy board, likely weak. A turn bet can fold out A-high and draws, and we have no showdown value.

My pocket fours are weak on this paired, coordinated board. Calling the turn bet would leave me out of position with few ways to improve.

On the button, 5-3 suited is playable as an open with position. A 2.5 big blind raise gives the blinds a chance to fold without committing much of my stack.

Holding premium AKo in the small blind against a button open, standard 3-bet for value and initiative out of position.

As5s is dominated by the small blind's 3-bet range, and I am out of position with the button still to act. Calling 850 has poor implied odds, so folding is best.

Five-three suited is too weak to continue against this large three-bet, even in position.

K4o is too weak to open profitably from the button even 3-handed. Folding is standard and avoids postflop reverse implied odds.

93o is too weak to continue from the button, even with position, and calling 100 into a small pot lacks sufficient equity. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

KJs is strong against a random big-blind hand, so I raise for value rather than limp out of position.

K6o is too weak to defend profitably against a 3bb small blind open.
