Hold'em table

94o is too weak to open even from the button in 3-handed play. Easy fold.

With the button folded, pocket threes are a reasonable blind-versus-blind opening hand. Raising to 3bb pressures the big blind to fold hands with substantial equity while keeping the pot manageable.

K8o is too strong to fold to a small-blind steal after the button folded, and I have position on the raiser postflop for a cheap 200 call.

Bottom set is a strong value hand, and betting builds the pot while getting calls from Jx, pocket pairs, and some weaker pairs or straight draws. Two-thirds pot starts building value without an excessive sizing on this dry board.

King-high with no pair or draw on a J-6-3 board facing a 400 bet into 1000; calling lacks the equity and will face further pressure on later streets.

Q6 suited is a profitable button open three-handed, with positional advantage and suited playability. Raising to 2.5 big blinds puts pressure on the blinds while keeping the investment modest.

3-8 offsuit is very weak in the small blind facing a button raise to 250; calling out of position would be unprofitable.

Facing a 2.5x raise from the button, 53s is too weak to profitably defend out of position even getting decent pot odds.

QJo is a strong opening hand three-handed on the button; raising builds the pot in position and takes initiative over the blinds.

6s 4s is too weak to call or 3-bet out of position against a button open with the big blind still to act.

QTo is a solid big-blind defense against a button open, needing only 27.3% equity at this price. Calling preserves its value against a wide opening range without inflating the pot out of position.

Q-high has no immediate straight or flush draw on this connected board. Checking keeps the pot small out of position and avoids bluffing with a poor candidate.

This low connected board favors the big blind caller and I have only two overcards with no flush or straight draw, so checking in position realizes equity cheaply instead of bluffing into a range that will call often.

This low, connected board favors my big-blind defending range, and the button's flop check leaves many unpaired high-card hands in their range. With little showdown value, I can profitably pressure those hands with a substantial turn probe.

Facing a 400 bet into 550, I have only overcards and a gutshot to the 4. My roughly ten outs are not clean and fall short of the ~30% equity needed to call.

KJo is a standard open-raising hand on the button in 3-handed play; raising to 2.5bb builds the pot and exerts positional leverage.

Pocket eights are strong enough to three-bet against a button opening range. Raising discourages the big blind from entering and denies equity, with a larger sizing to compensate for being out of position.

8-3 offsuit is a very weak hand facing a raise and a large 3-bet to 1100; calling 1000 from the big blind would be unprofitable.

Facing a large 3-bet to 11bb from the small blind, KJo is dominated often and does not have sufficient equity to justify calling 8.5bb more.

Seven-deuce offsuit is too weak to open profitably without evidence that the blinds overfold. Folding preserves chips rather than investing in a hand with poor equity and playability.

Heads-up in the small blind after the button folded, Q7 suited is well ahead of a big blind defending range and plays well with initiative. Raising to 3bb applies pressure and builds value versus weaker calls.

96o is too weak to defend against a 3bb open raise from the small blind.

Ace-nine offsuit is a strong button hand three-handed, well ahead of blind ranges, so raising for value and initiative is better than calling or folding.

AKo is a premium hand in 3-handed play, making a 3-bet out of position standard value against a button open.

J6 offsuit is too weak to continue against a button raise and small-blind three-bet. Calling 900 with the original raiser still to act would be unprofitable, and this hand is a poor four-bet bluff candidate.

A9o with an ace blocker has reasonable equity against a wide 3-handed small-blind 3-bet range, and I will be in position heads-up with good pot odds to call 750 into 1350.

As the preflop 3-bettor on a paired queen-high board that favors my range, a small continuation bet of roughly 30% pot applies pressure and denies equity.

In position against a small one-third pot c-bet on a paired QQ6 board, Ace-high with an Ace kicker has enough showdown value and Ace/9 outs to justify calling at good pot odds rather than folding.

We c-bet the flop with AK and were called; the turn 8s doesn't improve our made hand, so checking to control pot size and see a river is prudent.

In position with the nut flush draw and Ace high after opponent checked the turn, a half-pot semi-bluff can fold better hands while retaining strong equity if called.

We only hold Ace-high with no pair on a paired queen-high board facing a half-pot turn bet after our check, making a fold clear given our low equity out of position.
