Hold'em table

QTo offsuit is well within a button-opening range three-handed, and raising to 3bb builds the pot with position while retaining fold equity against the blinds.

A4o plays poorly out of position against a 3bb open from the button, making it a clear fold from the small blind.

Calling 200 gets a favorable price against a button open, and 9-8 offsuit has enough equity and connectivity to defend the big blind. A 3-bet would be less attractive with this hand.

I have no made hand and only a gutshot straight draw, so I’ll take the free card rather than build the pot.

I flopped top two pair (Q and T) on a rainbow board, which is very likely best against the big blind's calling range. Betting around 70% of pot builds the pot for value while charge draws and one-pair hands.

I have only a gutshot straight draw and no pair, which is far short of the equity needed to call this bet.】【。

QJo is well within a standard 3-handed button opening range, so raising to 2.5bb for value and position.

Q5 suited is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

3s4s is a weak hand out of position against a button raise; calling 150 for speculative suited connectors with poor reverse implied odds is not profitable, so folding is best.

T8 offsuit is a reasonable button open in a three-handed game, and raising takes advantage of position while applying pressure to the blinds.

T8 offsuit out of position against a button raise is too weak to call 200 more; folding maximizes expected value.

Holding 53 offsuit in the big blind against a button open is an easy fold, as the hand has very poor playability and equity.

Seven-two offsuit is the worst starting hand in hold'em, and even from the button in a 3-handed game it has no profitable way to play against two live blinds. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

In a blind-versus-blind spot after the button folds, A4o is strong enough to open-raise for value and fold equity, utilizing the Ace blocker.

8♣2♣ is too weak to continue against the raise, even with the suitedness and price.

Opening Kc Kd from the button for value with a standard 2.5bb raise.

J7 offsuit is too weak to call a button raise from the small blind, especially out of position with the big blind still to act.

K5s is too weak to 3-bet but has decent suited playability; calling 150 into a 400 pot against a button raise is a cheap flop attempt with position on the aggressor postflop.

I missed the flop with king-high and I'm out of position against a preflop raiser; checking keeps the pot small and lets me fold cheaply to aggression or reassess on the turn.

I hold an overpair on a dry, low flop and bet roughly one-third pot for value and protection against the big blind's checking range.

K5 high with no pair or draw on 2-6-8; calling a c-bet with king-high only burns chips against the preflop raiser's range.

9-3 offsuit is too weak to continue against both blinds, even with position. Folding avoids investing more in a hand with poor playability.

T9 suited plays well heads-up from the SB; raising for fold equity and position, with a plan to c-bet flops.

Facing a 3bb open from the small blind, T6s is slightly too weak to defend profitably despite having position.
