Hold'em table

A5o on the button in 3-handed is a standard open-raise; I have position on both opponents and can win the blinds or play postflop with initiative.

A7s is playable against a 2.5x button open in three-handed poker. Calling keeps the pot manageable out of position rather than bloating it with a marginal three-bet.

K3 offsuit is weak facing a raise and a call; folding avoids a costly multiway spot.

Ace-high with no pair or draw has little value to lead into the preflop raiser on this dry flop. Checking keeps the pot small and preserves the option to continue if the button checks back.

I have a gutshot to the wheel plus an ace overcard in a heads-up pot; a half-pot bet applies pressure and can win outright while building the pot when called.

Ace-high with only a backdoor flush draw has too little equity and poor implied odds out of position against a half-pot continuation bet on a dry board.

J7o is too weak and easily dominated to open from the button for a full raise, and I have nothing invested, so folding is the higher-EV choice.

KQ is a strong hand heads-up against the big blind after the button folded; raising builds the pot with initiative.

Ten-deuce offsuit is one of the worst hands in hold'em, and facing a 3.5x raise from the small blind out of position, calling 250 more has no profitable expectation. Folding is clearly correct.

3-7 offsuit is a weak hand not worth playing from the button facing a raise.

Heads-up after the button folds, J9o has solid equity against a random hand. A min-raise takes initiative and applies pressure on the big blind.

Pocket kings are well ahead of a small-blind min-raise after the button folds, so I 3-bet for value to build the pot and deny cheap equity.

J9o is far too weak to call a 3-bet out of position, and 4-betting this hand would just burn chips against a range that likely has me dominated. Folding loses the minimum.

Eight-three offsuit is one of the weakest hands even from the button three-handed, and calling 100 into a 150 pot with poor equity and position-less postflop play is -EV. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

Button folded, so this is heads-up versus the big blind. J7o is marginal but only 50 more to see a flop in a 150 pot, so completing is better than folding the blind.

A7o is strong enough to isolate the limper heads-up; raising builds value and takes initiative.

J7o is too weak to continue out of position against a 3.5x isolation raise after the button folded. Folding saves chips for better spots.

KQs is a strong suited hand on the button, so I open to 3x the big blind to build the pot and take the initiative.

2-9 offsuit is a trash hand facing a 3bb raise from the button; not worth continuing even with position disadvantage priced in.

KQs is strong 3-handed and I'm out of position against a button 3x open, so I apply pressure with a 3-bet to build a pot with a hand that dominates their continuing range.

KQs is ahead of the price in position against a BB 3-bet, and flatting keeps worse hands in while avoiding a bloated pot if their value claim is real.

I have queens with a gutshot, but this ace-high connected board heavily favors the preflop 3-bettor, so checking back controls the pot and realizes equity.

I hold KQ on A-J-Q-T, giving me the nuts (Broadway), with only AK chopping. Betting ~75% pot extracts value from AK, AQ, AJ, AT, and sets, and I can stack off if raised.

I have the nut Broadway straight on a wet board, so I raise the turn bet for value rather than just calling.

K6o is marginal but playable 3-handed from the button; just calling keeps the pot small and lets me see a flop cheaply.

T2d is a very weak hand out of position against two players; even cheap completion risks dominated situations postflop, so folding the small blind is cleanest.

Button limped and the small blind folded, so I raise A9o to take the initiative and deny a cheap flop.

K6o offsuit facing a raise from BB with SB folded is too weak to continue; fold to preserve chips.
