Hold'em table

Q8o is a standard button open in 3-handed play; a 2.5bb raise-first-in puts pressure on the blinds.

AJo is strong against a button’s wide opening range, and a 3-bet builds value while applying pressure from the small blind. I’m sizing up to account for being out of position and the big blind still being behind.

T6 offsuit is too weak to defend the big blind against a large small-blind three-bet, especially with the opener still to act.

Q8o is too weak to continue against a 3-bet from the small blind, even with position; folding avoids a dominated spot.

Q7 offsuit is a reasonable button open in a three-handed game. A modest raise applies pressure to the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

Q6 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

ATo is well ahead of a wide 3-handed button open range, so 3-betting for value and initiative is good; calling is also fine, but raising denies equity and plays well out of position.

Q7 offsuit is too weak to continue against the big blind’s large three-bet. Folding avoids investing another 750 chips out of position postflop.

Q6 offsuit is a reasonable button open in a three-handed game. A small raise uses position while limiting risk with a marginal hand.

76s from the SB against a button open is a reasonable 3-bet bluff candidate in 3-handed play; its blockers are minimal, but it plays well when called, and flatting OOP with the BB behind is worse. Sizing to 10bb.

6♠2♦ is far too weak to continue against the large re-raise, especially with the small blind still in the hand.

Q6 offsuit is too weak to continue against a large three-bet, even with position.

Three-handed on the button, T2 suited is near the bottom of a wide opening range, so a small steal to 2.5bb is reasonable given how often both blinds fold.

98 offsuit is a reasonable defend from the small blind against a button open at this sizing, and the call price is favorable. I’ll avoid inflating the pot out of position.

Calling 150 closes the preflop action at a favorable price. Deep stacks make set mining with pocket deuces worthwhile.

With bottom pair and a weak kicker on a coordinated, two-spade flop against two opponents, checking avoids building a pot while keeping my showdown value.

My small pocket pair has little value on this high, connected flop against two opponents. Checking avoids building a pot with a weak hand.

T2c has a gutshot to Q9T with backdoor draws on a K-high board that favors my button opening range; a small c-bet into two checks takes the pot often and has some equity when called.

The small bet gives a favorable price to continue with a pair of eights, though raising would be too ambitious on this coordinated multiway board. I’ll call and reassess on the turn.

Pocket deuces have little chance to improve on this K-J-8 flop, and both opponents have shown interest in the pot. Calling is unlikely to be profitable.

I have only a weak middle pair, and the preflop raiser’s flop bet and call-worthy range can contain many better hands. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids turning my hand into a bluff.

T-high has almost no showdown value. The turn blank lets me barrel into a capped check-calling range that includes floats, weak pairs and A-high, so I'm betting about 56% pot for fold equity.

The turn bet is substantial after the flop call, and my middle pair with a weak kicker has little improvement potential. I’m unlikely to have enough equity against the value hands in this line.

T4 offsuit is too weak to open profitably from the button, especially with both blinds still able to continue.

Q7 suited is a strong heads-up hand, and raising from the small blind puts pressure on the big blind.

Getting 2:1 in position against a wide small-blind steal range, T2o has enough equity and playability to defend by calling.

I have a queen-high flush draw and some fold equity as the preflop raiser. A small flop bet can win the pot now while keeping the cost manageable when called.

T2 offhand on K43 has no pair and only a gutshot to a 5 (A2 missing...) actually no real draw; facing a bet with minimal equity, fold.

J5 suited is playable as a button open in a three-handed game. Raising gives me a chance to win the blinds and keeps the initiative if called.

T2 offsuit from the small blind facing a button open, with the big blind still to act behind, is a clear fold. It's out of position and has poor equity.

I have a good price as the big blind and Q-high has enough value to defend heads-up against a button open.

Top pair is a good hand to continue with, but checking from the big blind keeps the pot manageable and protects my checking range against the button's preflop raise.

J-high has little equity on this flop, and a bet is unlikely to fold out many better hands or draws. Checking in position keeps the pot small and lets me reassess on the turn.

Top pair is likely ahead after the flop checked through, and a modest turn bet can get value from worse pairs while charging club draws. I’ll keep the sizing controlled with a weak kicker.

Jack-high has little chance to improve on the river and no useful draw. Calling the turn bet or bluff-raising is unlikely to be profitable.
