Hold'em table

Ace-ten offsuit is a strong opening hand on the button three-handed; a standard 3x raise builds the pot with value hands while applying fold equity to the blinds.

5-3 offsuit is too weak to continue against a button open, especially out of position. Folding avoids putting more chips in with a hand that rarely flops well.

Facing a 3bb open from the button, K6o lacks the playability and equity out of position to justify calling.

Button first to act with suited connectors; a standard 3bb open builds the pot and can take it down or continue in position.

Holding 32 offsuit in the small blind against a button open is an easy fold.

AQo dominates a wide button opening range in 3-handed play; 3-betting to ~3.3x builds the pot for value and denies equity rather than calling 200 out of position.

87s is too weak to continue against a 10bb 3-bet with an SPR near 4.4; it lacks strong blockers for a 4-bet bluff and does not realize equity well enough to call.

K2o is too weak of a holding to open even from the button in a 3-handed game.

On the button in a 3-handed game, 35s is a fine steal-raise: the blinds fold often, and if called I keep position postflop with a hand that can make draws. Calling is the passive alternative, but the raise adds fold equity for cheap.

AKo is a premium hand three-handed, so I 3-bet the button's open to 10bb to build the pot and deny equity while still leaving room to continue.

Facing an open and a substantial 3-bet from the blinds, A5s does not have enough equity or playability to justify calling or cold 4-betting out of position.

35s is far too weak to continue against a 3-bet to 1000; calling 700 more with a dominated, low-equity hand is -EV. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

K4o is too weak and disconnected to open first-in from the button in a three-handed pot; folding avoids a dominated, low-playability spot.

A8s is a very strong hand blind versus blind; raising to 3bb builds the pot with an equity advantage.

KQo has strong equity against a wide SB raising range in 3-handed play, and calling 200 into a 400 pot is cheap. Keeping the pot smaller OOP is better than 3-betting a hand with mediocre playability when called.

Check middle pair top kicker out of position to control the pot size and catch bluffs.

Seat_3 raised preflop then checked this dry flop, a line that often signals weakness. I missed with KQ but have two overcards, so a half-pot stab of 300 into 600 takes the initiative and can win it outright.

I have middle pair with top kicker and a backdoor flush draw, getting 3:1 pot odds to call a half-pot bet.

We hold third pair with top kicker on a scary turn card, making check the most standard and pot-controlling line out of position.

I hold top pair (queens) with the K kicker on a Q-high board, and seat_3's check-call-check line shows weakness or a draw. Betting ~half pot extracts value from worse queens and charges straight draws while keeping the pot manageable if raised.

On the Queen turn following a flop bet, third pair with no draw does not have enough equity or playability to justify calling a second barrel out of position.

93 offsuit is far too weak to open from the button, even in 3-handed play. Folding is clearly the best play.

KJs is a strong heads-up hand against the lone big blind; raising builds the pot with a hand that has good equity and fold equity, rather than limping and letting the BB realize equity cheaply.

K6o is too weak and dominated to continue against a 3bb small-blind raise, even with position. Folding avoids putting more chips in with a poorly playable offsuit hand.
