Hold'em table

Q3 offsuit is too weak to play first to act preflop. Folding preserves my stack.

9♠8♦ has reasonable equity against the big blind, and calling the 50-chip gap keeps the pot manageable while out of position.

Suited connectors play well in position against a small-blind limp. Raising can win the pot now or build it with a hand that has good postflop potential.

9♠8♦ offsuit is a weak hand to continue out of position against a substantial raise. The pot odds do not make up for its poor equity and limited playability.

K7 offsuit is a reasonable button open in a three-handed game. Raise to 2.5 big blinds to apply pressure while keeping the pot manageable.

K4 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

T2o is a very weak hand, especially out of position against a button raise. Folding preserves chips and avoids playing a dominated hand postflop.

Four-deuce suited is too weak to open from the button against two players with full stacks.

6c2c is a very weak hand, and calling would put me out of position with poor equity; folding preserves my stack.

K9o on the button is strong enough to raise in 3-handed play, putting pressure on the blinds and taking initiative.

6-4 suited is too weak to continue against a button raise from the small blind, especially with the big blind still to act and poor postflop position.

Suited connectors play well against a button opening range, and calling 200 from the big blind offers reasonable pot odds.

My flush draw and gutshot give me strong equity, and this low flop favors the big blind’s range. A 400-chip bet can also fold out unpaired overcards.

I have king-high with no draw on a coordinated, wet board. Folding preserves my stack and avoids chasing with a weak hand.

T8 offsuit is a reasonable button open in a three-handed game. A small raise applies pressure to the blinds while preserving position postflop.

T8 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button raise with the big blind still to act.

K4s is a marginal hand out of position, and folding avoids losing more chips.

On the button in a three-handed pot, 97 offsuit is playable as an open. A modest raise gives me a chance to win the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

Q6s is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button raise, and playing out of position postflop would be difficult.

7♠5♦ is a weak offsuit hand with poor equity realization out of position against the button’s raise. The price to call does not compensate for those disadvantages.
