Hold'em table

K5s on the button is strong enough to open in a 3-handed game, and raising applies pressure on the blinds while taking initiative with position.

K2o is a weak hand with poor playability. Facing a raise to 300 from early position requires strong holding; folding preserves stack for better spots.

8c6s offsuit is too weak to defend against a button 3x open in this heads-up blind-versus-button pot.

Ad4d has decent potential with a broadway card and flush draw possibilities. A raise to 400 (4bb) from the button is a standard play that applies pressure while allowing fold equity. This is a profitable hand to build the pot with from position.

Q7 suited is too weak to defend from the small blind versus a 4x button open with the big blind still behind.

AK offsuit is a premium 3-handed hand and I want to apply pressure to the button's wide opening range while building a pot with position disadvantage. A 3-bet to 1200 is a standard value sizing that still leaves room to fold to a 4-bet if necessary.

Ad4d is a weak hand. Facing a 3-bet to 1200 after my initial raise, I'm out of position with a marginal holding that doesn't warrant further investment. Folding minimizes losses and preserves chips for stronger spots.

Raise the button with A-K offsuit for value and initiative against the blinds.

A4o is a weak offsuit ace out of position against a button raise, with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids playing a dominated hand in a marginal spot.

Three-handed button with a suited T6; raising to 2.5bb applies pressure and leverages position, while folding is too tight and limping invites multiway action with a weak holding.

9c7c is a weak hand with poor equity against a raise from an aggressive position. With 200 chips to call and significant fold equity loss, folding preserves chips for better spots.

Q5 offsuit is too weak to defend against a button open at this stack depth, especially out of position heads-up.

9-4 offsuit is a weak holding that ranks poorly in 3-player preflop strategy. From the button facing a big blind bet and small blind already committed, folding this trash hand preserves chips for stronger situations rather than entering a multiway pot with a disadvantaged holding.

K8 suited is a strong heads-up small-blind holding and benefits from taking the initiative. Raising applies pressure while retaining playability if called.

Closing the action with 200 more into a 400 pot, 2h4h has enough implied odds and position to see a flop; folding is too tight against a possible wide small-blind raise.

I have a strong combo draw with a king-high diamond flush draw and a gutshot to the king-high straight. Betting applies pressure while building a pot for my equity.

My 2h4h has almost no equity on this Td Qd Jc flop, so I fold to the 400 bet rather than chase a backdoor draw.

On the button with suited ace-ten, I open-raise for value and initiative at a standard short-handed sizing.

K9o is a marginal offsuit hand out of position against a button raise, with the big blind still to act; folding avoids playing a dominated hand in a bloated pot.

T7o is a weak hand in the big blind facing a raise to 250 chips from the button. With a pot of 400 and needing to call 150 more, the odds don't justify playing a marginal holding, especially with limited fold equity against a likely range that includes stronger hands.
