Hold'em table

K3 suited is strong enough to open on the button in a three-handed game. A 2.5 big blind raise gives me a chance to win the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

J5 offsuit is too weak to continue from the small blind against a 2.5bb button raise, especially out of position.

Getting 150 to win 400 (about 27% equity needed) in the big blind against a button open, J6 suited has enough equity and playability to defend by calling.

Middle pair with a weak kicker on a wet board, out of position against the button's open. Checking controls the pot size and lets me respond to a c-bet, most likely by calling.

King-high has little immediate equity on this connected flop. Checking in position keeps the pot small and lets me reassess on the turn.

Trip sixes is a strong hand after the button checked back the flop. I'm betting about 70% pot for value and to charge the many flush and straight draws on this wet board.

King-high has little chance to improve, and the turn completes a flush while the opponent bets. Calling 400 is not justified.

On the button in a three-handed pot, J-high has enough positional and steal value to open-raise, despite its weak kicker.

43s from the small blind against a 2.5x button open, with the big blind still left to act, is out of position and dominated too often. Folding beats a loose call here.

5♥2♥ is a weak hand to defend out of position against a 2.5bb raise, and its equity is difficult to realize profitably.

76o is a standard button open in 3-handed play, and a 2.5bb raise pressures the blinds while keeping the hand playable in position.your post-flop.”}

Pocket nines are strong enough to three-bet a button open from the small blind. Raising to 1000 pressures the big blind and avoids playing a multiway pot out of position.

Q7 offsuit is too weak to continue from the big blind against a large squeeze to 10 big blinds, especially with the button still to act.

76o facing a 4x 3-bet from the small blind; calling 750 into 2100 with a weak offsuit hand isn't profitable even in position, so fold.

KJo is a strong button opening hand three-handed. A 2.5 big blind raise applies pressure while keeping the pot manageable.

A♠T♣ is a strong three-handed hand for a small-blind 3-bet against a button open. Raising to 900 applies pressure while avoiding a multiway call out of position.

Q5o facing an open and a 3-bet with the opener still to act behind is a clear fold.

KJo has enough equity to call this 3-bet at the offered price, and I’ll have position postflop.

Top pair is vulnerable on this connected, two-club flop, but the caller’s range contains many strong hands and draws. Checking keeps the pot manageable out of position and preserves my showdown value.

I have an open-ended straight draw and some fold equity after the preflop aggressor checked. A modest bet pressures unpaired hands without committing too much against a strong range.

Top pair with a strong kicker has enough value to continue against this modest bet, but the coordinated board makes raising unnecessarily risky.

With second pair on a connected board after calling the flop bet, checking keeps the pot manageable and preserves showdown value. Betting risks building a large pot against Qx, strong made hands, and draws, with limited value from worse hands.

I have the current nut straight. A turn bet builds the pot while charging club draws and getting value from strong pairs.

I have a decent bluff-catcher with a pair and ace kicker, and the bet size gives me favorable pot odds. Raising would isolate me against stronger hands on this coordinated board.

With a pair of tens, I have reasonable showdown value but little reason to bet for value on a river that completes possible straights and a club flush. Checking avoids turning that showdown value into a bluff.

I have a king-high straight. A modest river bet can get value from strong pairs and two-pair hands while limiting my exposure to an ace-high straight or a flush.

The river completes the club flush and improves many king-high hands, while a jack makes a straight. Facing a third-street bet, my single pair of tens is unlikely to have enough equity despite the price.

T2 offsuit is too weak to continue from the button facing the big blind, even with position postflop.

T4o is a marginal SB-vs-BB hand. Completing for 50 into a 150 pot is a cheap way to realize equity without bloating the pot out of position.

A-T offsuit is strong against a small-blind limp. Raising to 400 builds the pot while retaining position after the flop.

T4 offsuit out of position facing a BB raise after I limped is too weak. Calling 300 to win 800 on a pot we'd play out of position is not profitable.

In 3-handed play, K2o on the button is a standard opening hand, so I'll raise to 2.5bb to steal the blinds.

A6 offsuit is strong enough against a likely wide button opening range, and the ace blocks some strong hands. Raising also avoids calling out of position with the big blind still to act.

K6 offsuit is too weak to continue against a large 3-bet to 10bb, especially with the button still in the hand.

K2o is too weak to continue against a large small-blind 3-bet to 10bb, even with position, and pot odds don't justify calling with a dominated hand.
