Hold'em table

J3s is too weak to open even from the button 3-handed; it gets dominated whenever called and has little postflop playability, so folding preserves chips for better spots.

J5o is too weak to complete or raise from out of position against the big blind.

Q2s is at the very bottom of the button opening range in 3-handed play; folding avoids playing a weak kicker out of position postflop if called.

Completing the small blind costs only 50 into a 150-chip pot, and 8♠5♣ is playable cheaply heads-up against the big blind.

Ten-two suited is far too weak to raise the small blind's limp, and checking costs nothing while keeping position postflop.

My hand has no pair and little immediate equity on this paired board, so I’ll take the free card rather than bluff into the big blind.

Tc2c has almost no equity on Q-Q-4; checking keeps the pot tiny and avoids investing more chips with a weak hand heads-up.

I have no meaningful pair or strong draw, and checking keeps the pot small while preserving the chance to improve on the river.

I hold Tc2c on a paired QQT board with no draws; my hand is essentially worthless and I have no fold equity worth betting for. Checking keeps the pot small and avoids investing more chips into a likely losing hand.

I have no meaningful improvement and only weak kickers on the paired board; checking avoids putting more chips in with a marginal hand.

J3 offsuit is weak, but on the button three-handed I can profitably open and apply pressure to the blinds. A modest raise gives me a chance to take the pot preflop.

3-4 offsuit is far too weak to call a 2.5x raise out of position, even at cheap odds. Folding is the clear max-EV play.

76 offsuit is too weak to defend out of position against a button raise.

Ace-jack suited-ish strong raising hand from the button; take initiative and build pot with position.

54o is far too weak to defend out of position against a 3bb open raise.

6-2 offsuit is too weak to defend against a 3x button raise, especially with poor postflop playability. I'll preserve the remaining stack.

Opening from the button with J9o to apply positional pressure in 3-handed play.

Pocket nines are strong against a button open in a three-handed game. A sizable three-bet builds value and makes it harder for the big blind to enter cheaply.

3s4d is a dominated trash hand facing a 9bb 3-bet from the small blind after an early raise; calling 800 to chase a weak suited connector against two strong ranges is -EV. Fold and save the chips.

Fold J9o facing a 3-bet from the small blind as it lacks equity and playability.

A4 offsuit is strong enough to open from the button; a small raise applies pressure while keeping weaker hands in the blinds' ranges.

King-Ten offsuit out of position against a button raise with the big blind still to act is a marginal spot; folding avoids playing a dominated, hard-to-play hand for 2bb.

Getting attractive pot odds (150 to win 550 total) defending BB against a BTN open with suited King-five.

We completely missed this ace-high flop out of position against the preflop raiser, so a standard check is the best play.

I have top pair and should make a small value bet while charging draws and weaker pairs. A modest size keeps worse hands in while limiting the pot with my weak kicker.

I completely missed the flop with king-high and no backdoor potential on an ace-high board, making this an easy fold to the continuation bet.
