Hold'em table

75 offsuit is a weak button open against two unknown opponents at 100 big blinds, so I avoid investing with poor postflop prospects.

With the button folded, AK suited is a premium heads-up hand from the small blind. Raise to 300 to build the pot and apply pressure while keeping the size conventional.

73o is out of position against a 3x SB raise, and calling 200 into a 500 pot with such a weak, dominated hand is a marginal-to-losing call. Folding is standard.

T8 suited is a playable button hand in a three-handed game, so I’ll open-raise for value and initiative rather than limp.

A3o is a solid 3-bet candidate from the SB against a wide 3-handed button open: the ace blocker reduces their continuing range, and 3-betting avoids playing out of position with the BB left to act behind. Calling is weak, and folding is too tight at this table size.

Six-four offsuit is too weak to continue against a large three-bet, especially out of position.

T8 suited has some playability, but the large out-of-position 3-bet leaves poor immediate pot odds and risks a costly dominated spot. Fold rather than continue with a marginal hand.

Three-handed on the button, J7o is inside a standard wide opening range, so I'm raising to 2.5bb to steal the blinds.

With 8-7 offsuit in the small blind, calling the button's raise would leave me out of position with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids a marginal spot.

3♥5♣ is a very weak offsuit hand, and calling out of position against the button’s raise is unlikely to realize enough equity to justify the price.

On the button in a three-handed pot, 9-7 offsuit is playable as an open. A 250-chip raise pressures the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

7-2 offsuit is too weak to continue against a button raise, even with the small amount already invested.

Getting about 3.7:1 in the big blind against a wide 3-handed button open, T7o has enough equity and playability to defend by calling.

T7s on 8s6s8h gives a gutshot plus a backdoor flush draw, but out of position against the button's range the standard play is to check. I plan to call a reasonable c-bet.

I have an open-ended straight draw and position. A small bet can win the pot now while keeping the cost modest if called.

The pot is 730 and it costs 180 to call, so I need only about 20% equity. T7s has a gutshot to a straight with a 9, a backdoor flush draw and some overcard equity, which clears that against a small c-bet. Calling keeps the pot manageable while I realize that equity.

On this paired, trips board I hold only ten-high with a gutshot straight draw. Checking gives me a free look at the river without building a pot I'm unlikely to win at showdown.

I have little showdown value, but the turn favors my preflop raising range. A 600-chip bet can fold out unpaired overcards, and a 5 or ten gives me a straight draw to pursue if called.

On a trips board, T-high only beats a few weak hands; most of the raiser's range (higher cards, pairs, any 8) is ahead. My roughly 20% equity from 9/T/7 outs falls short of the 28% pot odds, and I face reverse implied odds.

K♥Q♥ is a strong hand to open from the button. A 2.5-big-blind raise applies pressure while keeping weaker hands in the range.

Pocket threes from the small blind facing a 2.5bb button open with 100bb stacks deep. Calling for set value is reasonable, and 3-betting small pairs out of position is fine too, but I'll mix in a call here.

Calling 150 closes the action in a 600-chip pot. Q6 offsuit is weak, but the price is good enough to see a flop.

Small pair on a wet monotone board, out of position in a 3-way pot; check and likely fold to significant action.

Bottom pair without a diamond is too weak to bet for value on this three-way monotone flop. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me reassess after the button acts.

I have two overcards and a gutshot, but this three-way flop is coordinated and diamond-heavy. Checking behind realizes my equity without risking a bluff into multiple opponents.

A pair of 3s on a four-diamond, highly connected board has almost no showdown value against two opponents and cannot profitably bet for value. Bluffing into two players on this board is also poor, so I'll check and give up if there's significant action.

Bottom pair without a diamond is too weak to value bet on a four-diamond board. Checking preserves the chance to reach showdown cheaply.

With no diamond on a four-diamond board, my showdown value is very poor and a bluff into two opponents risks too much. I’ll take the free river with a chance to improve on a jack.

Our 33 is below every board card on a four-flush board with a possible straight, so it has little showdown value. Bluffing into two opponents from first position is unlikely to work, so checking is best.

Bottom pair without a diamond has little value to bet into two opponents on a four-diamond board. Checking gives it a chance to reach showdown without risking more chips.

I have only king-high and no diamond, so I cannot value-bet this four-diamond board. Checking avoids risking chips on a bluff when an opponent may hold a diamond and have a flush.

K8s on the button in 3-handed play is a clear opening hand, so I'm raising to 2.5bb to steal the blinds and keep position.

7-5 offsuit plays poorly out of position against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

J6 offsuit is marginal, but the button’s raise is wide in a three-handed game and the price is reasonable for a big-blind defend. Calling keeps the pot manageable while preserving its postflop equity.

J-high has no pair or meaningful draw on this flop, so I’ll take the free option and avoid building a pot out of position.

Heads-up in position on Q-T-5 with K8 (a gutshot, a backdoor flush draw and an overcard), and the board favors my button range. A small c-bet of about a third of the pot takes it down often and keeps my equity when called.

I have only jack-high with no pair or meaningful draw, so calling the flop bet is not worthwhile.
