Hold'em table

K4o is slightly too weak to open profitably even from the button in 3-handed play.

6h2h is the worst type of hand, even on the button; folding preserves chips with no pot odds worth chasing.

JTs is a strong suited connector for opening blind versus blind. Raising to 3bb applies pressure to the big blind while retaining good playability when called.

Defending 97s in position against a standard small blind open raise with attractive pot odds.

Middle pair has useful showdown value but gets limited value from worse hands on this ace-high flop. Checking controls the pot and protects my checking range.

I hold a flush draw in position on an Ace-high board; checking behind controls the pot and guarantees seeing a free turn card.

Turning trip jacks gives us a strong value bet against aces, pocket pairs, and club draws after the flop checked through. Betting two-thirds pot builds the pot while charging draws to see the river.

With a weak 9-high flush draw on a paired board, we lack direct pot odds to call a 2/3 pot bet and face substantial reverse implied odds.

A7 offsuit is a profitable button open three-handed. Raising to 2.5 big blinds pressures the blinds while preserving positional advantage if called.

Folding 74o from the small blind against a button open as it is far too weak to defend.

J5s in the big blind is a marginal hand but I only need 150 more to see a flop with decent suited potential against a button raise; folding is too tight at these prices.

I flopped a flush draw (J-high diamonds) plus a gutshot to K; checking keeps the pot small and lets me see a free turn or raise if seat_3 bets.

This king-queen-high flop favors my preflop raising range, making a small continuation bet an efficient way to pressure unpaired hands and some small pairs. Ace-high and a backdoor diamond draw provide modest backup equity when called.

I hold the J-high diamond flush draw (9 diamonds) plus a jack; calling 180 into a ~910 pot is cheap and implied odds, and seat_3's small flop bet suggests middling strength rather than a trap.

Jack-high with only three diamonds to the flush is essentially worthless; checking is free and I can fold to a bet on the river.

The paired turn is unlikely to make the opponent fold a king or queen, and my hand has no strong draw to support another bluff. Checking preserves ace-high showdown value against missed draws and lets me reassess on the river.

My J-high missed the flush draw and I have no showdown value; seat_3 checked the turn, so I take a free showdown rather than bluff into the preflop aggressor.

Ace-high retains showdown value against missed straight and diamond draws. With no heart blocker and limited ability to fold out better pairs, checking is preferable to bluffing.

95 suited is too weak to open profitably even from the button in a 3-handed game.

7s8s is a playable suited connector in position; calling 50 to see a flop against one player is cheap and keeps the pot small with a speculative hand.

K9 offsuit is strong enough to isolate a small-blind limp with position. Raising to four big blinds can win the pot immediately or build a favorable heads-up pot.

7d8s is a weak suited-connector facing a 4bb raise out of position; folding is clearly best.

2c6h offsuit is the worst position; folding preflop loses little and preserves EV for better spots.

J9 offsuit is strong enough to open small blind versus big blind after the button folds. Raising to 3 big blinds pressures the big blind and can win the pot immediately.

Q7o is too weak to defend against a 3x open from the small blind.

T7 offsuit is a reasonable marginal button open three-handed. Raising to 2.5 big blinds pressures the blinds while keeping the investment modest and retaining position postflop.

QTo is too weak to defend out of position from the small blind against a button open with the big blind still left to act.

72 offsuit is the worst hand and faces a 2.5x raise; folding is clearly correct.
