Hold'em table

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

A7 offsuit is strong enough to raise heads-up against the big blind. Raising to 300 applies pressure while keeping the pot manageable.

A8o has enough equity against a small-blind steal in a 3-handed pot, and I close the preflop action with position postflop. Calling keeps the pot manageable while avoiding a marginal 3-bet.

A small continuation bet leverages my preflop range advantage on this paired board while keeping the pot manageable with ace-high.

I have the nut flush draw and position; calling 200 into 800 gives good odds and keeps the pot manageable while I see the turn.

With ace-high on a double-paired board, I have showdown value but little reason to build the pot after the flop call. Checking also keeps weaker hands in.

Seat_2 checked the turn after betting the flop, suggesting weakness. I have the nut flush draw plus an ace overcard, so a bet can win the pot outright and still has equity if called.

Ace-high has little chance to improve against a king or a made pair. Calling 600 with no draw and a river decision still to come is not worthwhile.

On the button in a three-handed game, J4o is a marginal but playable open. A small raise uses position and gives the blinds a chance to fold.

J4o is a weak offsuit hand out of position facing a button raise; folding is clearly best since calling 170 more with this trash hand has poor equity realization.

Holding 8c 2s out of position against a button raise is an easy standard fold.

With a weak offsuit connector on the button, a small preflop raise applies pressure on the blinds and uses position to take the initiative. If called, I can reevaluate on the flop.

Holding 95o out of position against a button open is a clear standard fold.

J5 offsuit is too weak to defend out of position against a 3× button raise.

Holding KQs on the button 3-handed is a premium opening hand; raising to 2.5bb for value and position.

K2 offsuit plays poorly out of position against a button raise, with the big blind still to act.

Closing the action with 150 to call into a 400 pot, Q5o has enough equity against a likely button open to defend, though I will proceed cautiously postflop.

I flopped middle pair on a dry board. Betting 300 for value and protection against overcards.

Seat 3 leads over half pot on a dry board where our King-Queen has no flush draw equity and only six uncertain overcard outs.

Pocket threes are strong enough to open on the button, and a 2.5-big-blind raise keeps the pot manageable.

T6o is too weak to continue out of position against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids playing a dominated hand.

Getting attractive pot odds to defend the big blind against a standard button open with QTo.

Flopped top pair with a mediocre kicker out of position; standard play is to check to the preflop aggressor.

Pocket threes have some showdown value but little potential to improve on this board. Checking in position keeps the pot small and lets me reassess on the turn.

I have top pair after the preflop raiser checked back the flop. Betting around 60% pot extracts value from second pairs, pocket pairs, and charging draw equity.

Pocket threes have little chance to improve and no useful draw. Calling the turn bet is unlikely to be profitable.

4-2 offsuit is the worst starting hand and has very low equity against two opponents. Folding is the most profitable play.

Seven-three offsuit is one of the weakest starting hands and plays poorly out of position blind vs blind, making an easy fold.
