Hold'em table

9c2c is a weak offsuit-gapped hand from the button facing a full big blind; folding avoids investing chips with poor equity in a 3-handed pot.

Folding T3o from the small blind as it is too weak to complete or raise out of position.

A7o is well within the standard button opening range in 3-handed play, so we open to 2.25x to build the pot and leverage position.

Seven-six offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button raise with the big blind still to act.

3d6s is a weak offsuit hand out of position, and calling 125 into a 375 pot with poor postflop playability is not profitable enough against a button raise.

Ace-king offsuit is a strong button hand, so I raise for value and to put pressure on the blinds.

2d6s is a very weak offsuit hand out of position facing a button raise, and calling 250 would leave little room to profitably continue. Folding avoids unnecessary chip loss.

Folding 65 offsuit in the big blind against a 3bb button open out of position.

AsKd is a premium starting hand on the button; raising applies pressure and builds value against the blinds.

A4s has excellent blocker value and playability, making it a prime candidate for a 3-bet bluff out of the small blind against a button open.

T3 offsuit is too weak to defend against a large three-bet, even with a big blind already invested.

AK offsuit is very strong in a 3-handed button vs small blind 3-bet. 4-betting to 2400 takes initiative, can fold out weaker hands, and is happy to call a shove.

A4s served its purpose as a 3-bet bluff, but facing a large 24bb 4-bet out of position, it does not have the equity or playability to continue.

Opening from the button with an Ace in a 3-handed game is standard +EV play.

Nine-five offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button raise with the big blind still to act.

Getting 3.5:1 with an ace-high hand against a button open, calling is cheap and keeps a strong enough range to continue on favorable flops.

Ace-high with no pair on a coordinated K-Q-7 board; checking to the preflop raiser is best, then evaluate their bet.

Holding Ace-high with the nut club blocker on a broadway-heavy flop, checking back controls the pot and realizes equity cheaply.

Semi-bluffing with A-high and a gutshot; opponent checked flop and likely has a weak range, so a bet can take the pot or set up a river bluff.

Holding only an gutshot draw to the nuts with Ace-high on a very coordinated board, getting ~2.5:1 pot odds is insufficient to call a turn bet.

Q5 offsuit is a reasonable button open three-handed. A standard raise uses position to pressure the blinds.

J9o is too weak to defend out of position against a button raise with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids a marginal spot.

Getting favorable pot odds of 150 to call into 400 against a wide button opening range in 3-handed play.

I missed the flop completely with ace-high on a connected board, so I check to the preflop raiser.

This connected flop favors the big blind's calling range. Checking back preserves our gutshot equity without risking a check-raise.

I picked up the nut flush draw on the turn with the Ace of hearts, but out of position on a very coordinated board, checking to see a free river or evaluate opponent's bet is standard.

Queen-high has some river improvement potential, but a turn bet is unlikely to fold out many pairs or straight draws. Checking in position keeps the pot small and lets me reassess on the river.

I have Ace-high with no showdown value on a heavily coordinated board, but without key blockers to bluff effectively, checking is the lowest-risk play.

Bottom pair has little showdown value on this connected board. After two streets of checks, a river bet can pressure weak pairs and missed draws.

I only have Ace-high with a weak kicker on a very coordinated board where my opponent can easily have a pair or better, making a call unprofitable.
