Hold'em table

T4s is too weak to profitably open on the button, even in 3-handed play. Folding is the standard disciplined play.

Suited connector 7d6c plays well multiway and I only need 50 more to see a flop with a live BB. Completing is cheap and preserves fold equity for later streets.

Raise for value with strong AKo and build the pot against the small blind's limp. A raise to 400 is a practical size that applies pressure without overcommitting preflop.

7-6 offsuit is a weak hand facing a 4x raise from the big blind out of position; folding is the clear profitable play.

J3 offsuit is a very weak hand even from the button in a 3-handed game; folding preserves chips for better spots.

With the button folded, Q6 offsuit is playable from the small blind heads-up. Complete cheaply rather than build a pot out of position with a marginal hand.

I have J2o in the big blind facing a small blind completion, so taking a free flop by checking is the standard play.

Q-high has little showdown value and no meaningful draw on this low, two-diamond board. I’ll check rather than lead into the big blind’s range.

I have bottom pair with mediocre kicker on a fairly dynamic flop. Checking back controls the pot size and realizes showdown equity against the small blind's limping range.

Q-high has little value for a bet, and checking preserves the chance to reach showdown without risking chips on a low, connected board.

I have bottom pair with weak showdown value. Checking keeps the pot small and takes a free card to the river.

My queen-high hand can beat missed draws and lower unpaired hands, while betting is unlikely to fold many better hands or get called by worse. I’ll take the free showdown.

I have two pair, Nines and Twos, which has good showdown value in an unraised pot checked down to the river. Checking behind allows me to win at showdown without risking a raise.

As the button, 44 is strong enough to open-raise for value and to put pressure on the blinds while retaining position.

75s is too weak to flat or 3-bet out of position from the small blind against a button open with the big blind left to act.

AJo is strong against a 2.5x button open heads-up; 3-betting to 900 builds the pot with position-neutral pressure and isolates the raiser while keeping fold equity.

Calling with a small pair in position is reasonable given the deep effective stacks and set-mining potential; a 4-bet would risk too much with this hand.

Top pair top kicker with the nut flush draw on a coordinated board; betting for value and protection while building the pot against seat_3's preflop call range.

I have only a low underpair on a connected, two-spade board and face a sizable flop bet from the preflop 3-bettor. The chance to improve to a set is too small to justify calling.

54 offsuit is too weak to open from the button even in 3-handed play.

Pocket nines is a strong heads-up hand against only the big blind; raising to 300 builds the pot with likely the better hand and takes initiative rather than limping.

A♣T♠ is strong heads-up against a small-blind open, so I’m 3-betting for value and initiative. The 1000-chip sizing applies pressure while leaving room to fold to a substantial 4-bet.

A♣6♣ is strong enough to raise in a blind-versus-blind pot, and a raise to 300 applies pressure while keeping weaker hands in the range that may call.

K2o is too weak to defend against a 3bb SB open, even getting 2:1 pot odds.

A♦8♣ is a strong enough hand to open in a three-handed pot. I raise to 2.5 big blinds for value and to take initiative.

Folding 54o from the small blind facing a button open as it lacks sufficient playability and equity out of position.
