Hold'em table

Opening from the button with an Ace in a 3-handed game is standard for stealing the blinds and realizing position.

A9s has decent equity against a 2x open and plays well in position as the small blind caller; folding is too tight for the price.

65o is too weak to continue out of position multiway against a button raise and a small-blind call; pot odds do not offset poor realization and domination risk.

I only have ace-high on a paired low board against the preflop raiser, so checking keeps the pot cheap and preserves the option to fold to aggression or see a free turn card.

As the preflop raiser in position on a paired board, a small continuation bet of 40% pot exerts pressure on weak holdings while continuing with gutshot and overcard equity.

I hold top kicker with an ace on a low paired board; calling 200 into 700 is cheap and keeps my ace-high equity against seat_1's flop raise.

I hold only ace-high on a paired board against a preflop raiser who c-bet the flop; betting folds out little of their pair-heavy range, so I check to keep the pot small and avoid bloating it with a bluff-catcher.

We picked up equity with a gutshot and an overcard Ace with position; checking back controls the pot and realizes our equity.

A-high has showdown value only against a missed bluff; with both players checking the turn, checking back is free and avoids building a pot I likely lose.

Ace-high has decent showdown value against missed overcard floats like KQ and QJ, and bluffing is unlikely to fold out pairs.

Ten-three offsuit is far too weak to play even from the button three-handed; the ten is dominated by stronger broadways and the three contributes almost nothing, so folding loses the least over time.

Button folded, so this is heads-up versus the big blind with A7 suited. Raising to 3bb builds the pot with a playable suited ace and applies pressure.

84s is too weak to defend against a 3x open from the small blind.

Pocket queens are a premium hand on the button, so I raise to 3x the big blind for value and to take control preflop.

Folding 4s2s out of position facing an open raise from the button.

8d4d offsuit is too weak to call 200 more against a 3x raise heads-up.

Nine-five offsuit is too weak to open from the button even in a 3-handed game.

Suited T6 in the small blind facing only a limped 50; cheap call with some straight/flush potential, not worth raising against the big blind.

Pocket threes are ahead of a wide small-blind complete, so a small raise builds the pot and can take it down before the flop.

Ten-six offsuit is far too weak to call a 3x raise out of position after limping, and raising has no merit. Folding saves 200 chips for better spots.

96o is near the bottom of a viable 3-handed button opening range with poor playability and no reads on opponents, so folding avoids playing a weak hand out of position against two defenders.

63 offsuit is too weak to complete or raise heads-up against the big blind, so folding saves the remaining 50 chips.

Pocket sixes is strong enough to open-raise from the button in three-handed play, building the pot and applying pressure before the blinds act.

Holding 92o in the small blind against a button raise is an easy and standard fold.

J5 offsuit is far too weak to defend the big blind against a 3x button raise, even with the 200 call getting decent pot odds, since I'd be out of position with a dominated hand postflop.
