Hold'em table

7-5 offsuit is a weak hand out of position postflop against two players, so folding on the button costs nothing and avoids a marginal spot.

Holding premium AKs blind versus blind, raising to 3bb is standard for value.

7-3 offsuit is too weak to defend against a 3x small-blind raise.

T8s is a solid suited one-gapper that plays well in position, making a standard 2.5bb button open raise profitable.

A3 offsuit plays poorly out of position against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

4h6d offsuit is a weak hand. Calling 150 more to win a 400 pot means getting about 2.7-to-1, but I would be out of position with poor equity against a button open, so folding is best.

J7 offsuit is playable as a button open three-handed, and a small raise uses position without committing too much.

7-8 offsuit from the small blind facing a button open with the big blind still to act is a marginal hand that plays poorly out of position in a 3-way pot, so folding is the simple choice.

Holding 53 offsuit in the big blind against a button open is an easy fold out of position.

7-9 offsuit is a weak hand out of position postflop against two opponents, so I fold rather than pay 100 to see a flop. It is a marginal button hand but not worth the risk.

Holding 72o out of position against the big blind is an easy fold despite getting 3:1 direct pot odds.

KQ suited is a premier button holding in 3-handed play; raising to 2.5bb for value and position.

With deep stacks and no rake, calling 200 with a small pair offers reasonable set-mining value against a button open.

Q6 offsuit is weak and would play out of position in a three-way pot, so it isn't worth 150 more to call. Folding is the cleaner choice.

My small pair has little value on this coordinated, monotone flop, and I have no diamond or meaningful draw. Checking avoids building a pot out of position.

On a monotone, connected flop where we hold no diamonds, checking behind with two overcards and a gutshot controls the pot and realizes equity in position.

With a small pair and no diamond on a four-diamond board, I have little value to bet and no diamond blocker for an effective bluff. Checking keeps the pot small.

The board now has four diamonds and we hold no diamonds to give us a flush. Checking behind preserves pot size and allows us to reassess on the river.

Pocket threes have little showdown value here, but with no diamond or straight blocker, a river bluff is unlikely to get enough better hands to fold. I’ll take the free showdown.

I have no showdown value with King-high and no diamond blocker on a four-flush board, but bluffing without a diamond is too risky against SB's calling range.

K8 suited is a profitable button open three-handed, and a 2.5 big blind raise uses position without overcommitting.

57o is weak from the small blind facing a button raise, with the big blind still to act behind me. Calling 200 more out of position is not profitable, so I fold.

J6o is too weak to defend out of position against a button open, so folding is clearly optimal.
