Hold'em table

A6o on the button 3-handed is a clear open-raise; a 2.5bb open pressures both blinds.

T2 offsuit is a weak hand out of position in the small blind against a button raise, with the big blind still to act behind me. Folding is the best choice.

With 4h6c (a weak unpaired hand) facing a 250 chip raise from seat_1 after seat_2 folded, folding is prudent. This hand has poor showdown value and is unlikely to win against a raiser's range without improvement.

Pocket sixes on the button in a 3-handed game is a strong hand. A raise to 3bb builds the pot with position and can take it down against the two blinds.

KJo in the big blind facing a 3x button open in 3-handed play is well ahead of a wide button range and is getting good pot odds (200 to win 650). Calling keeps the hand in a profitable defend spot without bloating the pot against hands that dominate us.

King-high with no draw on a dry board, out of position against the button's open. Checking to the preflop raiser is standard here, and I can decide on a call or fold after seeing his action.

I have a pocket pair of sixes on a 2-9-3 rainbow board, which is likely ahead of the big blind's range. Betting about 60% of the pot gets value from worse pairs and 5x-8x hands and protects against overcards.

Getting about 28% pot odds against a wide button c-bet on a dry low board, KJ has two overcards, a backdoor club draw, and some showdown value against air, so calling is better than folding.

We turned top pair (KJ) on a dry board. Leading for about two-thirds pot gets value from 9x, draws and weaker kings, and denies equity rather than letting the preflop raiser check back.

Pocket sixes hold an overpair to the 2-3-9 but sit under the king on the board. The pot offers about 2.5-to-1 on a call of 950, and the opponent's check-call then turn donk-raise could be a king or a bluff. Calling keeps the price low and avoids bloating the pot, so I will call and not raise.

Top pair with a jack kicker is a bluff-catcher on this runout: AK, KQ, and K9 all beat us, and worse hands rarely call a bet. Checking keeps the pot controlled and lets villain bluff missed draws, so I'll mostly call a reasonable bet.

Pocket sixes on a K-Q-9-3-2 board is a weak showdown hand. Seat 1 bet the turn and then checked the river, so they may have a medium-strength hand that beats mine. Betting would mostly get called by better hands and fold out worse ones, so I'll check and take the free showdown.

Pocket kings are a premium hand preflop. I'm in the button position with 10000 chips, and the pot is 150. A 3x raise to 400 is a standard aggressive play to build the pot with a strong hand and narrow the field.

A6o out of position in the small blind facing a 4x button open, with the big blind still to act, is a marginal hand that plays poorly. Folding is the standard play; 3-betting as a bluff is possible, but folding loses little.

Getting 550 to 300 (about 1.8 to 1 pot odds) with a suited 9-6 in the big blind against a button open, so a call is reasonable, and a 3-bet bluff is unnecessary.

I have middle pair (9s) on an ace-high board out of position against the preflop raiser. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me realize my equity without bloating it against a range that contains many aces.

I have pocket kings with an ace on the flop. While my hand is vulnerable to any ace-containing hand, checking is prudent here. My opponent checked, indicating weakness or a modest hand, and checking preserves my win rate by controlling pot size while keeping the lead against unpaired holdings.

I have a pair of nines (second pair) plus a backdoor spade draw on the turn after both players checked the flop. Betting about 60% of the pot gets value from weaker pairs and draws and denies equity to overcards, and the button's flop check suggests weakness.

I hold pocket kings, the second-best starting hand. Seat 2 bet the turn after we both checked the flop, but this draw-heavy board (two hearts) presents good opportunities. A raise to 1500 (1000 more chips) puts pressure on seat 2 to make a decision, maximizes value from my strong holding, and allows me to extract chips from a marginal made hand or draw.

I hold a pair of nines, second pair on A-9-8-3, plus a backdoor spade draw. The button checked the flop and then raised my turn bet, which looks strong. The pot offers about 3.85 to 1, so I need roughly 21% equity, and calling is reasonable. Folding gives up too much against a possible bluff or semi-bluff, and a re-raise is too risky.}

Board is 9c Ah 3h 8s 4d, so I have a 9-high pair of nines with a 6 kicker. Seat_3 re-raised the turn, which looks strong, and I only beat bluffs. Checking and keeping the showdown cheap is better than betting, since a bet only gets called by better hands.

I hold pocket kings, the strongest hand that won't improve on the river. Seat 2 checked to me, indicating a cautious stance. With 8100 chips remaining and 3850 already in the pot, checking here allows me to reach showdown safely and win with my strong hand against likely weaker holdings.

53o on the button 3-handed is near the bottom of the opening range; folding is the low-variance, roughly break-even choice against unknown blinds.

3-4 offsuit is a weak hand, and out of position against the big blind it isn't worth completing the extra 50 chips. Folding gives up only the 50-chip small blind.

J8 offsuit is a weak hand from the button in a 3-handed pot. Calling out of position against two players with a marginal hand is low value, so I fold rather than invest chips here.

J7o is a weak hand, especially out of position as small blind. With only one opponent (seat_1 in big blind after seat_2 folded), calling 50 more chips to see a flop with this poor hand is not profitable long-term. Folding conserves chips for better opportunities.

With Ac7c (ace-high with backdoor draws), raising to 3x big blind is a standard play from the button to build the pot and apply pressure. This position and hand strength justify an aggressive opening with a reasonable raise sizing.

63o in the small blind facing a button open to 3bb, with the big blind still to act, is a clear fold; it is too weak to call or 3-bet.

Getting 450+200 pot odds: need to call 200 to win 650 (about 3.25 to 1), requiring ~24% equity. 97o against a button 3x open range has enough equity and is closing the action in position-less but cheap, so calling is reasonable.}

I have 7h9s with no pair on a Q-4-2 board, so I'm checking out of position. The button raised preflop and likely hits this board often, so a bluff has little value. Checking lets me see how they act and keep the pot small.

I have Ac7c (ace-high with weak kicker) on a 4d2sQh board. Opponent checked, indicating weakness. Checking allows me to control pot size while keeping my hand alive, and I can evaluate the turn before committing more chips.

I have a pair of sevens, which is second pair, on a dry board. The button checked the flop, which suggests weakness, so a small bet of about 60% of the pot should get value from worse pairs and make Ace-high or draws fold.

I have 7c-Ac with a pair of sevens on a board of 4d-2s-Qh-7d. Seat 2 raised preflop (300), I called, then they checked flop but now bet 400 on the turn. This aggressive turn bet suggests a strong hand, and my pair of sevens is vulnerable. The pot odds (1050 to call 400, about 2.6:1) don't justify calling with a weak holding that's likely dominated.
