94 offsuit is too weak to open from the button, even in 3-handed play.

Completing for 50 chips is inexpensive heads-up. With a marginal offsuit hand out of position, I prefer seeing a flop to building a larger pot.

Jack-ten suited is a strong hand three-handed, and the small blind only limped. A raise to 3bb builds the pot with position-independent equity and denies free equity.

9-7 offsuit plays poorly out of position against a raise, so I won't invest another 200 chips.

On the button three-handed, 8-7 offsuit is playable as a small open. Raising gives me a chance to win the blinds while retaining position if called.

J6 offsuit is a weak hand out of position in the small blind, facing a button raise with the big blind still to act behind. Calling 175 more is not worth it, so I fold.

Getting 3 to 1 pot odds closing the action against a button open, T7s has sufficient equity and postflop playability to defend.

I check out of position with top pair, weak kicker on a monotone board to control the pot.

Middle pair without a heart has showdown value but does poorly against a raise on this monotone flop. Checking back keeps the pot manageable.

The board has four hearts and we hold no heart blocker with second pair; checking is standard here.

With middle pair and no heart on a four-heart board, betting is unlikely to get called by worse hands. Checking keeps the pot small and preserves showdown value.

The board contains five hearts, giving both players at least a King-high flush. Checking allows us to chop if the opponent holds no heart, whereas betting would only be called by a higher flush.

The board gives us a king-high flush, but we have no heart to improve it. Checking preserves our chance to split the pot against another hand without a heart.

J9 offsuit is a marginal hand. Calling out of position against two players is not clearly profitable, and raising with it is weak. Folding is the disciplined choice, though it is close on the button in 3-handed play.

4d 2h is too weak to complete or raise from the small blind out of position.

K7s is a standard open on the button in 3-handed play; raising to 2.5bb to build a pot in position.

Offsuit 6-5 is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

J4 offsuit is weak and out of position against a button open to 2.5bb; calling 150 more would leave me playing a poor hand out of position, so I fold.

9-2 offsuit is too weak to open from the button against two players.

Q7o in the small blind getting 2.5 to 1 in a three-handed pot with only the big blind left to act is a reasonable, cheap call. The hand has enough equity and playability to see a flop.

I am in the big blind with T3s facing a small blind complete, so checking to see a free flop in position is standard.

Heads-up on a dry 2h Td 3s flop with queen-high, I'm first to act after a limped pot. A small bet of 100 into 200 can win the pot against weak ranges and gets value from worse hands like ace-high, and I still have some outs if called.

Flopped top two pair on a connected board against a limped small blind bet; raising for value and protection.

Queen-high with no draw on a 2-T-3 board facing a raise to 350; calling 250 into a 650 pot needs about 28% equity and this hand likely has less, so folding is the disciplined play.

A7 offsuit on the button in a 3-handed pot is a strong enough hand to open. Raising to 3bb applies pressure on the blinds and gives me position.

Folding 92s from the small blind facing an open raise from the button.

Six-five offsuit plays poorly out of position against a button raise to 300, so I’ll avoid defending for another 200 chips.
