Hold'em table

69o is a weak offsuit hand from the button facing a full bet; not worth continuing in a 3-handed spot with no equity edge.

Completing costs only 50 into a 150-chip pot, and 7-3 offsuit has enough equity against the big blind's wide range to continue rather than surrender the small blind.

With 7♦3♦, take the free flop in position against the small blind rather than inflate the pot with a weak hand.

I have no pair and only a backdoor flush possibility, so I’ll take the free card rather than build the pot.

A half-pot stab can fold out many unpaired hands in the small blind's wide limping range. We have little showdown value but retain backdoor diamond and straight possibilities if called.

I have no pair and only remote runner-runner draws, so calling the 100-chip bet is not justified.

K6 offsuit is a reasonable button open in a three-handed game. I raise to 2.5 big blinds to apply pressure while keeping the sizing modest.

86 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a 2.5bb button raise, with the big blind still to act. Its poor equity realization out of position makes folding preferable to calling or bluff-raising.

J2 offsuit is a weak hand facing a raise with another player already folded; not worth calling to see a flop out of position.

J4 suited is a reasonable button open three-handed, benefiting from position and flush potential. Raising to 2.5 big blinds gives us a chance to steal the blinds while keeping the investment modest.

K2 offsuit is a weak hand facing a raise and another player to act behind; folding preserves chips.

Q5 suited is playable from the big blind against a button open, and the price is reasonable. Calling keeps weaker button hands in while avoiding an unnecessary 3-bet with a marginal hand.

Q-high has little showdown value and only backdoor flush potential on this flop. Check rather than lead into the preflop raiser.

This connected flop hits the big blind’s calling range well, and J4 has little immediate equity. Checking preserves chips and lets us realize our backdoor draws in position.

I have only queen-high with no meaningful draw, so betting would risk chips without much fold equity. Checking keeps the pot small and lets me see the river for free.

The king favors my preflop raising range, and the big blind's second check makes a delayed continuation bet attractive. My flush draw provides equity when called, while this sizing pressures weaker pairs and unpaired hands.

Q-high has no pair or meaningful one-card draw on this turn, and the 400-chip bet is too large to call profitably. Fold rather than invest more with only a small chance to improve.

On the button with T9 offsuit, a standard open-raise to isolate the blinds is profitable in a 3-handed game.

A♠Q♠ is a strong three-way preflop hand, and a sizable out-of-position 3-bet can take initiative while discouraging the big blind from coming along.

Nine-deuce offsuit is far too weak to continue against an open and a three-bet, especially with the original raiser still to act. Folding avoids investing more chips with poor equity and no useful bluff blockers.

Facing a large 3-bet with weak offsuit T9, not worth continuing given the stack commitment required.

KTo is a strong button-open hand three-handed. Raise to 250 to build the pot in position while applying pressure to the blinds.

T4 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a 2.5bb button raise, especially with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids investing more with poor playability out of position.

J6 offsuit is weak, facing a raise from the button I have no good equity to continue cheaply.

A3 suited is a strong button open three-handed, with an ace blocker and nut-flush potential. Raising to 2.5 big blinds pressures the blinds while preserving postflop flexibility in position.

K7 offsuit from the small blind facing a raise is not worth defending; folding preserves chips.

J3 suited is a reasonable big-blind defense against a button min-raise, and the price is favorable. I’ll call rather than inflate the pot out of position with a marginal hand.

I have no pair or meaningful draw on this ace-high flop, so checking keeps the pot small and preserves the option to respond to a bet.

A small continuation bet gets value from weaker pairs and diamond draws while denying equity to unpaired hands. With top pair and a weak kicker, I want to keep the pot manageable rather than use a large sizing.

J♠3♠ has little showdown value on A♦8♦4♠ and only a backdoor flush draw. Even facing a small bet, calling is unlikely to realize enough equity, and a raise would be an unprofitable bluff against the button’s range.
