Hold'em table

Pocket jacks on the button in a 3-handed game are a strong hand, so I'm opening to 2.5bb to build the pot.

8h4d is weak offsuit and I'm out of position as the small blind facing a raise to 250. Folding preserves my stack against a likely strong hand.

68o is too weak to defend the big blind against a button open; folding avoids putting more chips in with a dominated offsuit hand.

3c 2s is the worst possible hand and I'm out of position on the button facing a raise, so folding is the only sensible play.

Button folded, so completing the small blind costs only 50 into a 150 pot. 68o is too weak to raise out of position, but the price is good enough to see a flop.

J7 offsuit plays fine as a free check in position against a small-blind limp. Raising buys little fold equity, and checking keeps the pot small while still letting me see a flop.

I have a weak pair of eights on a queen-high flop and no bet to call, so checking keeps the pot small and realizes equity without bloating.

The small blind limped and then checked to us in last position. A small half-pot stab with jack-high and backdoor straight potential can take down the pot on this dry queen-high board.

Middle pair with a weak kicker is not strong enough to raise, but the small flop bet offers pot odds that justify a call rather than a fold.

I have a weak pair of eights and can see the river for free out of position, so checking is better than folding or bloating the pot.

J-high with no real draw against a range that already called the flop, and this turn adds diamond draws. A bluff is unlikely to fold out pairs, so I'll take the free card and look to pair a J or 7.

I have a weak pair of eights and a free showdown after the opponent checked. Checking realizes that showdown value without bloating the pot.

Jack-high has little showdown value. After the opponent checked twice, a modest river bluff can fold out weak pairs and high-card hands that beat us.

I have queens and eights, a bluff-catcher that beats missed air and weaker two pair. The 280 bet into 400 offers enough pot odds to call.

A7o is playable as a button open in three-handed poker; a small raise takes the initiative and can fold out worse hands.

76o from the small blind facing a button open to 2.5bb, with the big blind still to act, is a weak out-of-position call. Folding is standard here.

I hold 2h8d, a weak hand with no playability. Seat 3 raised to 250 and seat 1 folded, so I face a 150 call with poor odds and no fold equity.

A3o is a clear button open in 3-handed play; a 2.5bb raise applies pressure on both blinds.

7s4s is a weak hand that does not play well out of position, and calling 200 more to see a flop is not justified given the raise size and my position.

Pocket nines is ahead of a button open and plays well as a value 3-bet; sizing to 800 builds the pot while keeping the hand manageable if called.

A3o is dominated too often by a big-blind 3-bet range and realizes its equity poorly even in position. Calling 5.5bb or 4-bet bluffing are both marginal, so I'll fold.

I have 3-2 offsuit, a terrible hand to play out of position. The button has already acted and I'm facing a 100 chip call with no information, so folding is the correct play.

Ten-deuce offsuit is too weak to complete or raise from the small blind against the big blind, so I fold and save the extra chips.

98o is playable as a button open in three-handed play; a small raise is better than limping and applies pressure to the blinds.

JJ is well ahead of a button opening range in 3-handed play, so I'm 3-betting from the small blind to around 4x for value and to deny the big blind a cheap squeeze or overcall.

With Q7s on the button facing a 1000 raise after a 250 open, the hand is too weak to continue; I have no positional or equity advantage and should preserve my stack.

89o is too weak to continue against a 3-bet to 1000; calling 750 more is not justified by pot odds or hand strength.
