Hold'em table

A6 offsuit is a reasonable button opening hand in a three-handed game. Raise to 2.5 big blinds to apply pressure to the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

AQ offsuit is a premium hand; 3-betting from the SB against a button open builds the pot and folds out weaker hands while isolating the field.

Seat 2's 900 raise with position and initiative suggests a strong range. Jd9s is marginal and unlikely to dominate that range, so preserving stack is correct.

A♠6♦ is often dominated by the small blind’s 3-betting range, and the large raise leaves poor prospects for calling out of position-relative position despite the ace blocker. Fold rather than inflate the pot with a weak offsuit hand.

Button open with Ace-high offsuit, raising to apply pressure and build pot with a decent hand.

Seat 2 opened to 250 with position; my 6s9s is too weak to continue out of position in a 3-handed pot, so folding minimizes expected loss.

QJo is strong enough to defend the big blind against a button min-plus raise, and the call offers favorable pot odds. Calling keeps weaker hands and bluffs in the range without inflating the pot out of position.

I have no pair or meaningful draw on a king-high flop, so checking keeps the pot small and preserves the option to respond to a bet.

Continuation bet on a dry-ish king-high board after opponent checked; I have an overcard and fold equity.

Q-J-high has no meaningful draw on this flop, and the six possible pair-making outs are often dirty against a button bet. The call price is too high to continue profitably.

With Kc4d on the button and a min-raise to 200 required, I fold to avoid putting chips in with a weak hand that has little post-flop playability.

The small blind completion costs only 50 into a 150-chip pot, and J-2 offsuit has enough equity against a big blind range to justify seeing a flop. I avoid raising this weak hand out of position.

I'm BB with a weak offsuit hand (2s8s is actually suited but low); no raise needed, checking to see a free flop since SB just called.

I have only a weak pair of twos on an ace-high flop and no immediate strong draw. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids betting into the big blind's range.

I only have bottom pair with a backdoor flush draw; no need to bet into a checked pot, I'll take a free card.

I have a weak pair with some showdown value, and checking behind avoids building the pot when better hands are likely to call a bet.

I only have bottom pair with no draw; checking is free and keeps the pot small against two live opponents.

My pair of twos is a modest showdown hand on this ace-high board. A bet is unlikely to be called by worse, so I’ll take the free showdown rather than risk being called or raised by a better hand.

I have two pair (eights and twos) with an ace kicker; opponent has checked every street, so a modest value bet should get calls from weaker hands while risking little.

A pair of deuces is a weak bluff-catcher on this ace-high board. After checking twice, the opponent’s substantial river bet is more likely to represent value than a bluff, so I fold.

A minimum button raise applies pressure to the blinds and gives me position; 6-5 offsuit is weak but playable as a steal in a three-handed game.

T4o offsuit is weak and out of position facing a raise and another player to act; not worth continuing.

3h7c is a weak hand that cannot stand a raise from the button, so folding avoids losing chips with poor equity.

K7 offsuit from the button facing a raise-limp situation isn't strong enough to invest in; folding preserves chips for better spots.

9h6s is a weak offsuit hand with no synergy to the blinds' likely ranges, and I'm out of position as the small blind facing a 50 chip call. Folding preserves my 10,000 chip stack for better spots.

With Ah3s on the button facing a 100bb raise, the hand is too weak to call or reraise profitably. Folding preserves my stack for better opportunities.

K♦J♦ is a strong blind-versus-blind hand, so raise for value and initiative rather than just completing. A 300-chip total is a reasonable opening size.

K5 offsuit out of position facing a raise is too weak to continue profitably; folding avoids a tough spot with a dominated hand.
