Nine-deuce suited is too weak to open profitably from the button against two blinds at this stack depth.

T3 offsuit is a weak hand out of position against a big blind who still has a free option to raise. Completing costs 50 more, but the hand plays poorly, so I fold and take the small loss of the small blind.

A7 suited-ace offsuit on the button in a 3-handed game is a solid open; raising 3x isolates the blinds and uses position.

Folding 76 offsuit from the small blind facing a 3bb button open is a clear standard fold.

6-3 offsuit is too weak to defend against a 3x button raise.

Holding premium AK offsuit on the button in a 3-handed game; opening to 2.5 big blinds for value and position.

Six-deuce offsuit plays poorly out of position against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act. Folding preserves chips.

6-5 offsuit in the big blind is getting 400 to 150, about 2.7-to-1 pot odds, against a button min-raise from a wide range. Calling is reasonable; a 3-bet bluff with this hand is not needed.

The board is A-7-A and I hold 6-5 with only a gutshot-ish draw and no pair. The button raised preflop and likely has an ace or a strong range, so I will check and see what he does rather than bluff into him.

We flop trip aces with top kicker on a very dry paired board; a small continuation bet of ~1/3 pot extracts value from flush draws and mid-pairs while allowing worse hands to continue.

6-high with a gutshot-ish draw (6-5 with 7 gives only a backdoor/weak draw) on an A-A-7 board facing a button c-bet; the pot odds of about 4.1:1 are not enough given weak equity and the button's wide range, so folding is the safest choice.

Ace-king offsuit is a strong button hand, so I raise for value and to take the initiative.

A4s is a decent hand against a button open in a 3-handed game. Calling 250 more into a 450 pot gets a good price, though I'm out of position with the big blind still to act, so I'll call rather than 3-bet.

T3o is far too weak to defend out of position against a raise and a call.

I have the nut flush draw with an ace-high blocker plus a bottom pair on a monotone-ish board (7s Qs 4s). I'm out of position heads-up, so I bet about 57% of the pot to build it with equity and fold-equity, and I can continue against a raise.

The nut flush draw and two overcards give me enough equity to continue. Calling in position keeps weaker hands in the pot without risking a large reraise.

I have the nut-flush-draw-less pair of fours plus an ace-high club (no spade), so I only have a weak pair on a wet board. I will check to control the pot, since the button called the flop raise and may hold a strong hand or a draw.

I have the nut-flush draw and a gutshot, plus possible overcard outs. After the turn check, a 950-chip bet adds fold equity while building the pot when I improve.

I have the nut flush draw plus a gutshot-adjacent pair of 4s (Ac4c on 7s Qs 4s Th gives a bottom pair and the nut flush draw). Calling 950 into a pot of 2450 needs about 28% equity, and I have roughly 9 flush outs plus pair outs, so calling is clearly profitable.

Bottom pair with an ace kicker has only marginal showdown value. Seat 1's turn raise suggests a queen or a missed draw, so a bet would mostly get called by better hands or fold out worse ones. I check to try to see a showdown cheaply.

Ace-high has little showdown value against the opponent’s flop bet and turn call. The ace of spades blocks strong flushes, making this a reasonable river bluff against weaker pairs.

Only a pair of fours against a river bet of 2600 into 3400 after the villain bet the turn. The call needs about 30% equity, and the villain's range is mostly Q, T, 7, two pair or better, with too few bluffs, so I fold.

Ace-x suited-ish hand (A3 offsuit) on the button in a 3-handed game is strong enough to open; a raise to 3bb takes initiative against two blinds and can win the pot immediately.

95o is a very weak offsuit hand playing out of position against a button raise and big blind yet to act. Easy fold.

A8 offsuit is strong enough to defend the big blind against a button raise, and calling keeps the pot manageable out of position.

Ace-high has little immediate equity on this K-Q-7 flop, and I'm out of position against the preflop raiser. Checking avoids building the pot with a weak hand.

I have the nut flush draw plus an ace on a K-Q-7 board, so a bet of about two-thirds pot works as a semi-bluff. Seat 1 checked, so I can charge worse hands and draws while I still have equity if called.

Ace-high with no club and few strong draws is unlikely to realize enough equity out of position against this flop bet.

Q5o is too weak to open profitably even from the button in 3-handed play.

J9 offsuit is strong enough to open heads-up against the big blind. Raising gives me a chance to win the blind immediately while building a pot with a playable hand.

A3 offsuit is a playable hand in the big blind against a small blind open to 3bb, and the price is 2 more into a 4bb pot. I'll call rather than 3-bet, since A3o is out of position and dominated by many of the hands that continue.

Top two pair is strong on this connected flop. A 450-chip bet gets value from worse pairs and charges draws.

Ace-high with a backdoor nut-flush draw at best on a connected J-9-8 board is weak. Calling 450 into a 1050 pot needs about 30% equity against a continuation bet, and the hand has little of that, so folding is the disciplined choice.
