Holdem table

On the button three-handed, 7♦4♦ is a reasonable wide open; raising applies pressure and lets me use position postflop.

93 suited is too weak to continue out of position against a preflop raise, so folding preserves chips.

64o is well below the threshold to defend out of position against a button open.

A8s is a solid button open in three-handed play. A 2.5bb raise builds the pot and applies pressure while keeping the price reasonable if called.

Holding 82o in the small blind facing a button open is an easy and standard fold.

T9 suited is a playable big-blind defense against the button’s small open, and the pot odds favor calling rather than folding or inflating the pot with a 3-bet.

I have top two pair on a connected, draw-heavy flop, so I’m betting for value and protection while worse pairs and draws can continue.

Ace-high with no pair and no draw on a connected flop is too weak to continue against a 350 bet. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

85 offsuit is too weak to open from the button even in a 3-handed game, so folding is standard.

A6 offsuit is strong heads-up against the big blind, so I raise for value and to take initiative.

A7s has enough equity and playability in position against a small-blind open after the button folds, and the price to continue is reasonable.

I have the nut-flush draw and a backdoor straight draw, so a half-pot bet applies pressure while giving me a strong chance to improve.

I have middle pair with the ace kicker and a half-pot c-bet is a reasonable price to continue. Raising is too thin on this connected, two-heart board, so I call and reassess.

I have the ace-high heart draw and the turn jack is a reasonable card to barrel after my flop bet. A moderate bet gives me fold equity while keeping the risk controlled.

Middle pair with an ace kicker is too weak against three streets of aggression on a jack-high board, and the price does not justify continuing.

Pocket sevens are strong on the button three-handed, so I’m opening for value and to apply pressure to the blinds.

KTo is playable from the small blind against a single 2.5bb button open, so I call 200 rather than inflate the pot out of position.

Getting 4 to 1 pot odds multiway with deep effective stacks, calling 150 to set-mine with pocket deuces is standard.

King-ten high has no pair and no flush draw on a paired flop against two opponents, so checking is the disciplined play rather than bluffing into the field.

Holding an underpair multiway with the preflop aggressor still left to act, checking is standard.

With 77 on a paired 8-high flop in a multiway pot, I have some showdown value but little reason to build the pot. I’ll take the free card.

King-high with no draw is too weak to bet multiway into a paired board with an ace; checking keeps the pot small and preserves a free river.

I have a weak underpair with pocket deuces on an paired ace-high board. Checking to see if I can get to a cheap showdown or fold to pressure.

With a small underpair on a paired ace-high board, checking preserves showdown value and avoids building a pot against likely better hands.

King-high has no showdown value on an ace-paired board, but a river bluff into two callers is unlikely to fold out enough better hands. Checking is the highest-EV line.

Our deuces are counterfeited on this board, giving us essentially zero showdown value. However, bluffing multiway with the preflop raiser still left to act behind us is low expectation, so checking is the cleanest line.

With a modest showdown hand on an ace-high board, betting is unlikely to get called by enough worse hands. I’ll take the free showdown and let missed overcards or smaller pairs remain in the pot.

36o is too weak to open even on the button in three-handed play; folding avoids a dominated, low-playability hand.

Holding pocket tens in the small blind after the button folds, raising for value is standard.

The 3-4 offsuit is too weak to defend against a 3x raise, even getting a discount from the big blind.

Q7s is a standard open from the button in 3-handed play to put pressure on the blinds and utilize position.

KTs is a strong enough suited hand to defend against a button open, but calling keeps weaker hands in and avoids inflating the pot out of position with the big blind still to act.

62 offsuit is too weak to continue against a raise and a call, so folding the 150 is the clear choice.

I have top two pair on a draw-heavy flop, so I’m betting for value and to charge draws while keeping the sizing around two-thirds pot.

We hold a flush draw plus gutshot to the nut straight in position. Calling the 400 donk bet offers great pot odds and allows us to realize equity smoothly.

I have a strong full house and want to get value from draws and weaker made hands while keeping the bet sized to the pot.

Opponent donked the flop and fired a substantial second barrel on a paired turn board. Our combo draw lacks the direct pot odds and faces serious reverse implied odds against potential full houses or higher flushes.
