Hold'em table

A5 offsuit is a weak but playable button hand in a 3-handed game with a fold-equity edge over the blinds; raising to 250 isolates and steals the blinds.

QK suited is strong enough to 3-bet the button's open; raising to 750 builds the pot and can take it down preflop.

A3 offsuit is too weak to cold-call a small-blind three-bet with the original raiser still to act. Its domination risk and poor equity realization outweigh its ace-blocker value for a four-bet bluff.

Ace-five offsuit on the button is a reasonable calling hand against a 750 small-blind raise, since the price is only 500 more and the big blind has folded. I'd rather see a cheap flop than fold or re-raise bloated.

I have KQ suited with overcards and backdoor flush/straight draws on a T-8-7 board; as preflop aggressor I continue with a standard continuation bet to apply pressure.

Ace-high with no pair and no real draw is weak facing a 900 bet into a 1600 pot, and the aggressive seat_2 range likely contains pairs or better. Folding avoids a marginal call.

KJ offsuit on the button is a decent hand to raise for value and take initiative in a 3-handed pot.

J9 offsuit is too weak to defend routinely from the small blind against a 2.5bb button raise. Playing out of position with the big blind still to act makes calling unattractive, and this hand is a poor default three-bet candidate.

Facing a 150 call into a 400 pot as big blind, the price is about 27%, and 6-3 offsuit has enough playability and equity against a wide button range to continue cheaply.

My 6-3 offsuit has no pair or real draw on a K-J-2 board, so I'll take the free check and see the turn rather than bloat the pot.

I flopped top two pair (kings and jacks) on a dry board; betting for value against a checking opponent.

Six-three high with no pair, no real draw, facing a 350 flop bet, so calling needs far more equity than this hand has. Folding is the disciplined choice.

Ace-ten offsuit is a strong opening hand on the button three-handed. Raising to 2.5 big blinds builds value, pressures the blinds, and lets us play in position if called.

Calling 200 into a 400 pot gives about 2-to-1 pot odds, and 7-J suited has enough playability to continue against a button open with the big blind still to act.

T2o offsuit is weak, facing a raise and a call; not worth defending out of position.

Top pair with a jack kicker is strong against a single preflop raiser, so I'm betting about half the pot for value while the button may have weaker high cards.

Calling costs 300 to contest a 1,200-chip pot, requiring 25% equity. In position, ace-high with an overcard and backdoor flush and straight possibilities is a reasonable continuation against a half-pot lead that can include draws.

Two pair, jacks and sevens, is strong on this turn, so I'm betting for value about 60% of the pot to build the pot against a player who called my flop raise.

Calling requires about 27% equity, and ace-high with a gutshot has too few reliable outs against this second barrel. Pair outs may be insufficient, and either flush draw can compromise our straight outs.

Eight-deuce offsuit is the weakest possible holding, and calling 100 into a 150 pot from the button is not profitable enough to justify playing it out of position against two blinds.

Q2 offsuit is weak; button already folded and facing a call against BB with poor equity, so folding is best.

54o from the button facing a limp and blind is a weak, unsuited, low-connectivity hand not worth playing for value; folding preserves chips.

KJs is a strong opening hand from the small blind against a lone big blind. Raising to 3bb builds value and pressures weaker hands while accounting for our positional disadvantage.

Pocket deuces are a small set-mining hand with poor playability, but getting 200 to call from the big blind against a small blind's wide raise is a reasonable price to see a flop.

A small continuation bet pressures unpaired hands while leveraging my stronger overpair range. Two overcards and a backdoor heart draw provide useful equity when called.

I hold a set of twos on a 2-5-5 board, which is a full house, so I want to build the pot against seat_3's flop bet.

King-high with only overcards and a backdoor flush draw is a weak continuation against this flop raise. Out of position, our equity is difficult to realize, and we have stronger hands and direct draws to defend.

52 suited is below a typical button opening range at 100bb, with weak pair potential and limited straight connectivity. Without evidence that the blinds overfold, folding is preferable to a marginal steal.

Ten-six offsuit is a weak hand out of position facing a 50-chip completion with a big blind already in, so folding avoids marginal postflop spots in a 3-handed pot.
