Hold'em table

With 7c8c on the button in a 3-handed game, raising applies pressure, can take the blinds, and builds a pot with a hand that has good playability and position.

Q-6o is a weak hand. Facing a 2.5x raise from the button as small blind, my risk/reward is unfavorable. Folding preserves chips and avoids playing a marginal holding out of position.

8-9 offsuit has sufficient equity to defend the big blind against a button min-raise-plus sizing, especially heads-up. Calling preserves a favorable price without inflating the pot out of position.

I have a made jack-high straight on a highly coordinated board. I will lead for value and charge flush draws and pair-plus-draw hands.

I have middle pair with a gutshot straight draw and good pot odds (400 to win 1350). Calling keeps the pot manageable and I have position.

I have a made straight, but the three-spade board makes betting into the flop caller vulnerable to a flush or a higher straight. Checking controls the pot and lets me respond to their turn action.

I have a made jack-high straight and should value bet against kings, two pair, sets, and weaker made hands. The turn check makes a moderate sizing preferable to maximize calls while limiting exposure to flushes or a higher straight.

9-4 offsuit is a very weak hand with poor win equity in a 3-handed game. Folding preserves chips early when the hand has minimal value and avoids losing money postflop against likely better holdings.

T8 offsuit is a suitable button open in a three-handed game, leveraging position and initiative.

K-3o is a weak hand, and facing a raise to 200 from the button after folding the small blind, this is not worth calling. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

On the button with a suited connector, raising to 300 applies pressure, takes initiative, and leverages position postflop.

K6o is a weak hand in early position against a raise. Seat 1 raised to 300 from the button, indicating strength. Folding preserves chips by avoiding a marginal spot out of position.

AK suited is a premium hand heads-up against a button open. A 3-bet to 10bb builds value and applies pressure while retaining maneuverability.

With a suited T8 in a heads-up blind pot and excellent price, calling preserves equity and realizes position postflop.

TT is a strong hand 3-handed; the small blind limped, so I raise for value and to take initiative. 400 is a standard raise that keeps weaker hands in while charging speculative calls.

T8 suited has sufficient heads-up playability to defend against a likely broad isolation raise, especially with the blind already invested.

I have a diamond flush draw plus a gutshot straight draw, and checking preserves flexibility against the preflop raiser while retaining strong semi-bluff options.

The board has two overcards to my pocket tens, and the caller's range connects well with Q-J. I prefer to check behind and control the pot size while keeping my hand's showdown value.

I have a strong combo draw with an open-ended straight draw and diamond flush draw. Betting applies pressure while retaining substantial equity if called.

I have a pair with an open-ended straight draw, and I'm getting 3.3:1 pot odds to call. Raising would only get called by better hands and commit more chips with a marginal made hand.

I have the nut straight on this river and should value bet against two-pair, pair-plus-draw, and weaker made hands that called the turn.

K5 suited has sufficient button equity to open against the blinds; a 3bb raise applies pressure while preserving flexibility.

J5o is too weak to defend out of position against a button raise, so folding avoids further investment.

J6o is a weak hand facing a 3x raise from the button after the small blind folded. Folding preserves chips against a likely stronger range in this spot.
