Hold'em table

JTo is a playable button open in three-handed play, so I raise to 2.5bb to take the initiative rather than flat the big blind.

8-4o is a weak hand from the small blind facing a 2.5x raise. With no compelling reason to play a marginal hand out of position, folding is the best option to preserve chips.

9-4 offsuit is too weak to defend the big blind against a button raise, even for 150 more; folding preserves stack.

9s7s is a weak hand from the button in a 3-player game where I'm facing a big blind and small blind already committed. Folding preserves chips for stronger opportunities.

Q7o heads-up in the small blind versus the big blind has good equity against a wide range and excellent pot odds for just 50 more, so completing is profitable.

J5 offsuit is too weak to raise, and checking is free after the small blind completes.

With queen-high and no meaningful draw on an ace-high flop heads-up, betting would only be called by better hands. Checking keeps the pot small and gives a free chance to improve.

J5 offsuit has no pair or draw on A43, and the small blind checked, so checking back is the best play.

After the limped pot checked through on an ace flop, villain likely lacks a strong ace or pair. A turn lead can fold king-high and weak draws that beat my queen-high at showdown.

Second pair with a five kicker is dominated by most aces and jacks, and the turn bet does not offer enough compensation to continue.

Q3 suited on the button in a 3-handed game is a reasonable steal in position, with a chance to win the blinds immediately and position if called.

A6 offsuit is too weak to continue out of position against a button open; folding avoids a dominated spot with poor playability.

9-2 offsuit is one of the weakest hands in poker. Facing a 250 chip raise with only 150 to call, the risk-reward is unfavorable against an aggressive opener, especially out of position in a 3-handed game.

AK offsuit is a premium button hand, so I open to 3x the big blind to build the pot and take the initiative.

6-9 offsuit is a weak hand. Facing a 3x raise from seat_1, calling 250 more chips is not profitable with this poor holding. Folding preserves chips for better opportunities.

9-6 offsuit is too weak to defend the big blind against a 3x button raise out of position; folding preserves chips.

7s6s is a weak hand in a 3-max game, especially out of position. With blinds already posted and no favorable position, folding minimizes losses against multiple opponents who may have stronger holdings.

AJo is a strong heads-up hand from the small blind after the button folded; raising builds value against the big blind's wide range.

75o is too weak to continue against a small-blind raise, even heads-up from the big blind. Folding avoids putting more chips in with a dominated offsuit hand.

9-5 offsuit is a weak hand even on the button in a 3-handed game; calling or raising would be negative EV against the blinds.

72s is too weak to continue out of position for a raise or a call after the button folds.
