Hold'em table

On the button in a 3-handed game, 54s is a standard open; raising to 2.5bb applies pressure on the blinds and plays well postflop with position.

Q5o is a very weak hand out of position against a button raise; folding preserves my stack and avoids a likely losing situation.

T6 suited has enough equity against a wide button open to defend the big blind for 150 into 400, despite being out of position.

With ten-high, no pair and only backdoor club/straight draws on an A-K-9 board that favors the preflop raiser, checking preserves chips and avoids bluffing into likely top pair.

Ace-king high dry board strongly favors my preflop raising range; a small c-bet with my air plus backdoor flush draw folds out many better hands cheaply.

Ten-high with no pair and only runner-runner draws on an A-K-9 board facing a preflop raiser's flop bet; calling lacks sufficient equity.

7c Ts is a weak offsuit hand with little playability, even on the button. Folding avoids investing chips out of position and preserves stack for better opportunities.

A8 suited is a strong hand heads-up against the big blind's wide range after the button folded, so I raise for value and to take initiative.

K6 suited in the big blind facing a 3x small-blind raise: getting 400:200 pot odds and closing the action with position postflop, this is a clear call against a wide SB opening range.

Second pair with ace kicker on a dry J-8-3 board has showdown value but is vulnerable to overcards; a half-pot bet gets value from worse pairs and protects against overcard turns.

K6 offsuit missed the J-8-3 flop entirely with only king-high and no draw; facing a half-pot c-bet out of position, folding is the standard play rather than floating with a weak hand.

J6 suited on the button in a 3-handed game is well within a profitable opening range, and raising gives position and initiative while pressuring the blinds.

K2o in the small blind facing a button open with the big blind still to act is a clear fold; it plays poorly out of position and is dominated by much of the button's range.

4d7s is a very weak hand out of position against a button raise; folding is the best option to avoid losing more chips.

Q6 suited on the button in a 3-handed game is a standard open; raising to 2.5bb takes initiative and pressures the blinds.

A9 suited is strong enough in 3-handed play to 3-bet from the small blind, putting pressure on the button and reducing the chance of a multiway pot with the big blind.

Q7 offsuit is weak facing a button open and a small-blind 3-bet to 800; calling 700 out of position has poor equity and playability.

Q6 suited is a weak hand facing a 3-bet out of position from the small blind; calling 550 to see a flop with a dominated queen is -EV, so folding is standard.

On the button with J7s, raising puts pressure on the blinds and can win the pot immediately. Calling would give away our positional advantage with a marginal hand.

T9 suited plays well as a 3-bet from the small blind against a wide button open, gaining fold equity while retaining good equity and playability when called.

Q8 offsuit facing a 3-bet to 1000 with the original raiser still to act is a clear fold from the big blind; the hand is dominated and plays poorly out of position in a bloated pot.

Getting 2:1 pot odds with a suited connector in position against a 3-bet from the small blind. Folding is too tight, and 4-betting risks too much without a premium hand.

Top pair with Ts9s on 9-8-4 rainbow after 3-betting preflop; betting about half pot out of position for value and protection against overcards and straight draws.

We have a gutshot and backdoor flush draw, but the pot odds are insufficient to call. Seat_3 has shown strength, so bluffing is unlikely to succeed. Folding preserves our stack for better spots.

8-4 offsuit is a very weak holding even on the button in 3-handed play; calling 100 chips preflop has negative expected value against the blinds.

Button folded, so it's SB vs BB heads-up; K8o is well within a standard SB raising range against a single opponent and raising takes initiative rather than limping out of position.

Suited connectors have playability postflop and we're getting 2:1 odds to see a flop in position relative to the raiser.

Open-ended straight draw (any A or 9) plus overcard on a board that favors my preflop raising range; a c-bet builds the pot with equity and can take it down now.

Holding 6c7c on a QdJhTs board gives me no pair and only a backdoor flush draw, while the board heavily favors the preflop raiser's range. Folding avoids chasing with a very weak hand.
