Hold'em table

4-2 offsuit is too weak to open from the button, even three-handed.

Q5o is too weak to complete or raise profitably out of position against the big blind.

Holding 62o on the button, this hand has virtually no playability or equity, making an easy fold.

5h8c is a weak offsuit hand. Out of position against the big blind, it plays poorly, and completing costs 50 more into a 150 pot, which is still not a profitable spot compared with folding.

QQ is a premium hand on the button in a 3-handed pot, so I raise to 3bb for value and to build the pot while keeping the blinds' ranges wide.

Ace-king is strong against a button opening range, and a sizable three-bet builds value while discouraging the big blind from entering cheaply.

Holding 6s 2h facing an open and a significant 3-bet preflop is an easy fold.

QQ is a strong hand against a small-blind 3-bet over my button open. Re-raising to 3000 builds the pot and gets value from worse hands, and I can still call a shove.

AK is strong enough to continue against a button four-bet. Shoving avoids playing out of position after a call and gives me fold equity.

Facing a small blind 5-bet shove after I opened and 4-bet, QQ is a strong hand against a range of premium pairs and AK. Pot odds are about 2.9 to 1 (7000 to win 13100+), so calling is clearly correct.

Seven-four suited is a marginal but playable button open three-handed. A small raise gives me a chance to win the blinds while keeping the pot manageable in position.

Holding 52o in the small blind facing a button open raise is a clear and trivial fold.

Q6 offsuit is weak and would be out of position against a button raiser. Calling 150 to win 550 is about 27% pot odds, but the hand plays poorly postflop, so I fold.

K2o is too weak even on the button in 3-handed play, making it an easy fold.

9-5 offsuit is a weak hand and playing it out of position against the big blind is unprofitable, so I give up the 50 chips already posted.

Q3 offsuit is a weak hand, and I would be out of position against two opponents after the flop. Folding is the disciplined choice even though the button is a good seat.

With the button folded, completing for 50 chips is inexpensive in a heads-up pot. I can fold to substantial pressure with this weak hand.

I have T3s in the big blind and the small blind completed. Checking lets me see a free flop with a weak suited hand in position.

With eight-high and no immediate draw, I’ll take the free card rather than bluff into the big blind.

We have ten-high with backdoor equity in position; checking back to see a free turn is standard.

My eight-high has little showdown value, and a turn bet can take down this small pot against the big blind's wide range.

I have ten-high with no draw on a paired board, facing a turn bet.
