Hold'em table

K2 offsuit is a reasonable button open three-handed. A small raise uses position to contest the blinds without committing much of the stack.

5h3c is a very weak offsuit hand facing a button raise with the big blind still to act, so folding is the best choice.

T5s is too weak to defend out of position against a 2.5bb button open.

T6s is a weak speculative hand that flops poorly and lacks implied odds in a 3-handed pot with no ante, so folding is the most disciplined play.

J8s is well ahead of random hands in blind-versus-blind play, making an open-raise to 3 bb standard.

Pocket sevens play well against a small-blind opening range, and calling keeps weaker hands in while giving me position postflop.

I missed the low, disconnected flop out of position against the big blind's defending range, so checking to control the pot is standard.

Top set is very strong on this dry flop. A 250-chip bet builds the pot while leaving room for weaker pairs and draws to call.

I hold J-high with no pair and no draw on 7-2-5 rainbow, so folding to the bet is standard.

J4s is slightly too weak to open profitably from the button in a 3-handed game.

Completing costs only 50 chips in an unraked pot. Although 8-4 offsuit is weak and I’ll be out of position, it has enough equity against a random big-blind hand to see a flop.

The small blind limped, and I have an ace with position; raising takes initiative and can fold out weak hands or get value from worse. A small raise keeps the pot manageable while applying pressure.

8-4 offsuit is too weak to call a raise out of position against the big blind.

T9 offsuit is a reasonable button open three-handed, and a 2.5 big blind raise keeps the pot manageable in position.

AKo is a premium three-handed hand, and the button's small open is wide enough that a value three-bet is best. Making it 1000 keeps pressure on while leaving room to fold to a shove.

Holding 8d 5s facing a button open and small blind 3-bet is an easy fold.

T9 offsuit plays poorly against a large small-blind three-bet, even with position.

Q7o is a weak offsuit hand from the button in a 3-handed game, and calling or raising risks chips with poor postflop playability against two opponents. Folding avoids negative expected value.

Completing from the small blind with J5s getting 3-to-1 pot odds to see a flop against the big blind.

A-Q suited is strong against a small-blind limp. Raising builds the pot while I retain position after the flop.

J5s is too weak to call a 4.5bb raise out of position.

Q6o is too weak to profitably open from the button even in 3-handed play.

J5 suited is strong enough to raise heads-up against the big blind. A modest raise can win the pot now while keeping the risk manageable out of position.

Closing the action heads-up with a suited queen, I have enough equity against a small-blind steal raise to defend for 150 more chips.

On this dry ace-high flop, J5 has little equity and no meaningful draw. Checking avoids investing more with a weak hand.

Opponent checked on an A-high flop, likely showing weakness. I'll bet half-pot to take down the pot with a low-equity hand that has little showdown value.

J♣5♣ has no pair or immediate draw on this ace-high flop. Calling the bet with so little equity is unlikely to be profitable.
