Hold'em table

Calling the big blind with As9h on the button is a standard play; I keep the pot small and see a flop cheaply while preserving my stack.

Pocket tens are a strong value hand 3-handed facing a button limp; raise to isolate and charge weaker hands while building the pot.

3-4 offsuit is far too weak to defend against a large small-blind raise, especially with the button still involved.

I hold As9h on the button with only one opponent who raised to 450. This is a weak offsuit hand that does not play well postflop, and folding preserves my 9900 chip stack for better opportunities.

QJo is a strong button hand in 3-handed play, well ahead of blind ranges. Raising builds the pot in position and pressures the blinds.

A9 offsuit is a strong three-handed blind-versus-button hand against a likely wide opening range. I will 3-bet for value and to apply pressure preflop.

My 6d3s is weak and out of position; facing a 750 to call after a 2.5x and 3.4x raise sequence, folding is the correct play to preserve chips.

In position as button against a small-blind 3-bet, QJo has sufficient equity and playability to call 600 into 1200 rather than fold or 4-bet.

This low connected board favors the caller’s range, while A9 has only a gutshot and limited immediate value. Checking controls the pot and preserves equity.

In position with two overcards on a low board, checking takes a free card and avoids bloating the pot against a 3-bettor whose range includes many overpairs that will not fold.

After the checked flop, a modest turn stab can fold out unpaired overcards and realizes fold equity while risking relatively little. The ace blocker also makes stronger ace-high holdings less likely.

Q-high with no pair or draw on a paired low board has little equity against the 3-bettor's turn bet; calling 600 needs ~20% and most of his value and bluffs (AK/AQ, overpairs) beat me.

K9 offsuit is a playable button opening hand three-handed, and raising applies pressure to the blinds while retaining initiative.

I have Ace-high with a weak kicker and no pair; calling 200 or raising into a 250 preflop raise is too expensive for this hand.

K4o is too weak to defend the big blind out of position against a button raise; its equity realization postflop is poor despite the small price.

I have Tc6d, a weak offsuit hand, and I'm in the big blind position facing a raise. Folding minimizes losses with this marginal hand.

Blind versus blind after the button fold, any ace is ahead of the big blind's wide range and worth a steal raise rather than playing a bloated limped pot out of position.

K-high with a poor kicker is not strong enough to defend profitably against the small blind's raise heads-up.

Q5 suited on the button in 3-handed play is well within opening range; raising applies pressure to the blinds and lets me play in position.

J8 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button open, especially with the big blind still behind.

9c7d is weak offsuit and cannot withstand a 2.5x open from the button; folding preserves my 99bb stack for better spots.

9-5 offsuit is a weak button holding and not worth entering without evidence that the blinds fold excessively.

I hold 4d 2s, a very weak hand with no playability. Seat 3 folded, but seat 2 has already posted the big blind and I am the small blind facing a 50 chip call; the pot odds and hand strength do not justify continuing.
