Hold'em table

Q8o is a playable hand from the button in a 3-handed game; calling to see a flop with position is a reasonable, low-risk option.

AJo is a strong suited blocker hand from the small blind versus a button limp; isolating to 4bb captures initiative and value.

T6 offsuit is too weak to call a 4bb squeeze from the small blind with the limper still left to act behind me; I'd be out of position against the raiser with a dominated hand.

Q8o is too weak to continue against a 4bb raise, especially with limited implied odds and a dominated kicker risk. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

Q7 offsuit is too weak to open profitably on the button in this short-handed configuration.

Q6o is a standard raise from the small blind in a blind-vs-blind spot once the button folds, and a 3bb open puts pressure on the big blind's wide range. A raise-or-fold approach from the small blind is reasonable here.

I have a decent hand (A-T) and the raise is small, so calling to see the flop is reasonable.

This dry K-8-2 board favors my preflop raising range, so a small one-third-pot c-bet works well as a range bet. Queen-high has little showdown value and can fold out many of the big blind's weak hands.

Three-handed on the button, Q6o is a reasonable open with only the blinds left to act; a standard 2.5bb steal.

I have a suited connector and am getting 2:1 pot odds to call, so I can see a flop cheaply in position relative to the raiser.

6-2 offsuit is far too weak to defend against a button raise with a caller already in the pot.

We have only 6-high with a weak backdoor straight draw on a very coordinated board that likely hits the preflop raiser's range, so checking is the safest option.

Top pair with a weak kicker on a very connected TJQ board plays best as a pot-control check. The small blind's calling range hits this board hard, so a bet mostly gets called by better hands or raised.

Checking keeps the pot small with only bottom pair on a coordinated board; I can see the river for free and avoid being raised by a stronger made hand.

Top and bottom two pair on a draw-heavy board after two checks from the opponent, so I bet for value and to charge flush and straight draws.

My pair of sixes is weak on this coordinated board and I have very few clean outs against the turn bet. Calling 400 is not profitable given the pot odds.

T2s is suited and playable from the button in a 3-handed game; raising lets me steal the blinds and keeps me in position if called.

9-8 offsuit is a marginal small-blind defense facing a button raise with the big blind still behind. Folding avoids realizing poor equity out of position in a potentially multiway pot.

Pocket deuces in the big blind against a button 2.5x open. I'm getting 150 to win 400, and with deep 100bb stacks there are good implied odds for set mining, so calling is clearly better than folding or 3-betting.

Pocket deuces are weak on a KJ8 two-tone board that hits the button's raising range hard, so I'll check out of position and see what the raiser does before committing more chips.

My hand is weak with only a backdoor straight draw, so I take the free card and keep the pot small.

The board is K-J-8-4, which is heavily overcarded for pocket twos. The button checked back the flop, so some of their range is weak and my pair may still be best. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me bluff-catch cheaply, while betting would mostly get better hands to call and worse hands to fold.

I have no made hand and no strong draw, so I take the free card on the turn.

We rivered bottom set, and the button checked back twice, so their range is capped with many weak pairs and bluff-catchers. A value bet of about 70% pot should get called by worse hands.

T4 offsuit is a weak button holding and not worth entering without a compelling exploitative reason.

Q7 suited is a solid blind-vs-blind hand, so I'm raising to 3x from the small blind to take the initiative.

T2o is too weak to continue against a preflop raise out of position, and calling 200 more with poor equity is not profitable.

Three-handed on the button, J5s is a reasonable open with suitedness and position, so I'm opening to 2.5bb. Only the blinds are left to act.

T2o is far too weak to continue against a preflop raise, and I still have the big blind left to act behind me. Folding saves chips for a better spot.

Q5 offsuit is too weak to defend against a button open from the big blind at this sizing.
