Hold'em table

QTs is a strong suited broadway hand on the button in a three-handed game, so I open to 3bb to take the initiative and fold out weaker hands.

A5s plays well as a 3-bet against a button open in 3-max; I can take initiative and win preflop or postflop with fold equity and a strong suited ace.

63 offsuit facing a raise and a big 3-bet is a clear fold, no equity to continue.

QTs has enough equity and postflop playability in position to continue versus a single 3-bet; folding is too tight and a 4-bet turns a playable hand into a bluff.

I missed this T-high flop with A5-high in a 3-bet pot; checking keeps the pot small and preserves fold equity for a later street rather than bluffing into the preflop caller's likely strong range.

Top pair with a queen kicker on a dry flop; the preflop 3-bettor checked, so a half-pot value bet builds the pot and denies free cards.

I 3-bet preflop and whiffed this dry flop; seat_1's open-raise, 3-bet call, and flop stab into the checker signals a real hand. Calling 800 with ace-high and no draw has no equity edge, so I release.

Jack-six offsuit is far too weak to call into two players or raise as a steal with no reads; folding preserves chips for better spots.

Cheap price to see a flop heads-up against the big blind with a suited-ish gapper; not worth raising or folding here.

Pocket aces heads-up against a limping small blind; a 4bb raise builds the pot and charges the caller before the flop.

69o out of position facing a 4x raise from BB is not worth continuing; folding preserves chips for better spots.

9-5 offsuit is a weak hand on the button facing a raise-limp scenario; folding preserves chips for better spots.

Button folded, so I only need half a blind more to see a flop with a connected ten-nine. Pot odds justify a call out of position rather than folding or bloating the pot.

Ten-four suited is too weak to raise for value, but it's a free heads-up flop in position against a limper, so checking is clearly best.

I have a double gutshot plus two overcards in a limped pot, so a minimum bet is a cheap semi-bluff with fold equity and decent equity when called.

I have a 12-out draw (nine spades plus three sixes for the straight/straight-flush) and only need 25% equity to call at 3:1, while holding roughly 44%. Calling in position keeps the pot manageable and lets me pressure seat_1 on later streets.

I have no pair, no draw, and the third spade completes a flush. With nothing to call, checking is free and better than bluffing into a flop caller.

Ten-high has no pair, straight, or flush on this paired three-spade board, so there is no value in betting. Checking keeps the pot small against a flop caller who can easily have a made hand.

JTo is a playable button open in three-handed play, so I raise to 2.5bb to take the initiative and fold out weaker hands.

J2s is far too weak to defend against a 2.5x raise out of position; folding loses only 50 more chips and avoids dominated spots.

J2 offsuit is a weak hand facing a raise; folding is correct even though only 150 to call, better to preserve chips.

K6d suited on the button is a standard opening raise in a 3-handed game; I take the initiative with position and fold equity.

J3 offsuit is weak facing a raise from the button; folding is best from the small blind.

K4o is too weak to continue out of position against a button open; folding avoids a dominated, low-equity spot.

2-6 offsuit is a weak hand out of position value; folding is standard here.

94 offsuit is too weak to continue out of position against the big blind after the button folded. Folding avoids playing a dominated hand with poor postflop prospects.
