Hold'em table

K♣3♣ is a reasonable button open in a three-handed game. A raise to 250 applies pressure to the blinds while keeping the sizing modest.

J-5 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

J6 suited in the big blind facing a 2.5x button open gets good pot odds (150 to win 400), and it's a standard defend with playability. Calling is better than folding or 3-betting.

Middle pair with a weak kicker on a draw-heavy board, out of position against the button's raise. Checking to the preflop raiser controls the pot and keeps his bluffs in.

K-high has some showdown and overcard value, but this low, connected two-tone flop favors the big blind's calling range. Check back rather than build a pot with no made hand or immediate draw.

Trip sixes with a decent kicker is strong against a button that checked back the flop. I'm betting about two-thirds pot for value and to charge draws and overcards now that the flush draw has arrived.

K-high has little showdown value and no spade draw on a three-spade board. Calling needs substantial bluff-catching equity, while raising would be an expensive bluff with poor blockers.

J2 offsuit is too weak to open from the button against two opponents.

Blind vs blind, 43s is a reasonable raise from the small blind, and it plays better with initiative than as a limp. A 3x open pressures the big blind's wide range.

52 suited is a weak holding out of position, and the 3x raise makes the call costly despite the heads-up pot odds.

76o on the button 3-handed is a standard open; stealing the blinds with a 2.5bb raise is profitable at this width.

Pocket nines are strong enough to 3-bet for value and protection, while a substantial raise pressures the opener and discourages the big blind from entering. OOP, I prefer taking initiative rather than calling and inviting a multiway pot.

Q7 offsuit is too weak to continue against a large three-bet with the original raiser still in the hand.

76o facing a 9bb 3-bet from the SB is a weak continue, even in position, and it plays poorly against a strong range, so I fold.

KJo is a strong button-open in a three-handed game. Raise to 2.5 big blinds to apply pressure while keeping the sizing modest.

A-T offsuit is strong enough to three-bet against a button open from the small blind, applying pressure while discouraging the big blind from calling cheaply.

Q5o is far too weak to continue in the big blind facing a raise and a 3-bet, especially with the original raiser still left to act behind.

KJo is a marginal hand against this unusually large 3-bet, and calling requires substantial equity with limited room to maneuver postflop. Fold rather than commit more chips out of position to a strong range.

T2 offsuit is too weak to open on the button against two unknown opponents at these stack depths.

Blind vs blind with T4o, completing for 50 more into a 150 pot is a cheap way to realize equity. It's a marginal hand, so limping is preferred over raising or folding.

A♠T♥ is strong against the small blind’s wide limping range. Raise to 400 for value and to take initiative heads-up.

T4 offsuit is too weak to continue out of position against a big blind raise to 4bb, even though we are getting 300 to win 800.

In 3-handed play the button opens a wide range, and K2o is a reasonable steal against only the two blinds. A 2.5bb open keeps the risk small.'

A6 offsuit is dominated too often and plays poorly out of position, especially with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids committing more chips against the button’s raise.

K6 offsuit is strong enough to defend the big blind against a 2.5× button raise, especially with the small blind's chips already in the pot.

As the preflop caller, I have king-high on an ace-high flop with little immediate drawing equity. Checking avoids building the pot out of position.

Our K2 with the Kd picks up a gutshot to the wheel, a backdoor flush draw and a king overcard on an ace-high board, which favors the preflop raiser. A small c-bet of about a third of the pot applies pressure and keeps our equity if called."}

King-high has little chance to improve on this ace-high flop, and calling out of position is unlikely to be profitable.
