Hold'em table

Nine-deuce offsuit is too weak to open from the button against two live blinds.

With an ace heads-up in the blinds after the button folds, raising applies pressure and captures dead money while retaining a playable hand.

AQs is well ahead of a wide small-blind-vs-big-blind opening range, so I 3-bet for value and to play the pot in position.

A7 offsuit is not strong enough to continue profitably against a 3-bet from the big blind after opening, especially out of position.

AJo is a strong button opening hand in three-handed play. I raise to apply pressure and build value while retaining positional advantage.

43o from the small blind facing a button open, with the big blind still left to act, is a clear fold. Calling out of position with a weak hand loses money.

A7 offsuit is strong enough to defend the big blind against a button raise to 2.5 big blinds, but not strong enough to favor a value reraise.

With ace-high and no strong draw on this flop, I prefer to check out of position rather than build the pot.

Bet top pair with the best kicker for value and protection against draws and weaker jacks.

Ace-high with no immediate draw is too weak to continue against this flop bet, especially out of position.

82o is too weak to open from the button in 3-handed play at 100bb, so folding is the lowest-loss option.

Calling 50 more with a suited hand is reasonable against the big blind, though its weak kicker makes a raise unattractive.

Check the big blind with a very weak offsuit hand rather than inflate a heads-up pot.

With ten-high and only a backdoor flush draw on this dry flop, I prefer to check rather than build the pot.

With 4-high and no meaningful draw on a king-high flop, checking behind is preferable to risking chips into the limper.

After the flop checked through, my ten-high has little showdown value. A small turn bet can win the pot against the big blind's weaker hands.

We have a pair plus a gutshot straight draw against a small turn stab, giving sufficient equity and river flexibility to continue.

Ten-high has little showdown value. A river bet can fold out the weaker hands that called the small turn bet.

Bottom pair is unlikely to beat this turn-and-river value line on a king-high board, and the river sizing gives poor odds to bluff-catch.

A3 offsuit is a reasonable button open in three-handed play. Raising to 2.5 big blinds pressures the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

7-high suited? The cards are offsuit and too weak to defend the small blind versus a button raise with the big blind still behind.

Pocket nines are well ahead of a button opening range in 3-handed play, so a 3-bet to 900 gets value and denies equity. It also avoids playing out of position in a flatted pot.

A3 offsuit plays poorly against a large three-bet, even in position. Folding avoids committing more chips with a dominated hand.

J4 offsuit is a weak button opening hand in this configuration, so folding avoids playing a dominated, low-equity pot.

T2o is among the weakest hands in the small blind versus the big blind and plays poorly out of position. Folding costs little compared with the other options, which are close in value.

Three-handed on the button, J5o is a borderline hand but a reasonable steal against only the blinds. A small 2.5bb open risks little and keeps position postflop.

Nine-six suited is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

Defend the big blind getting strong pot odds with suitedness absent but a connected 76 hand that realizes well heads-up against a button min-raise.

This board misses 7-high completely and offers little immediate value. Checking preserves equity and avoids inflating the pot with a weak hand.

On an ace-high board that favors the preflop raiser, J5s has a gutshot to the wheel plus a backdoor flush draw. A small c-bet of about a third of the pot takes it down often and still has equity when called.

We have no made hand and essentially no viable direct draw on this ace-high flop. Folding avoids continuing against the button's continuation bet.
