Hold'em table

74o is too weak to open from the button even in 3-handed play.

Button folded, so this is heads-up versus the big blind. A8o is strong enough to open-raise rather than limp, and 300 is a standard size.

74 suited has enough equity to defend the big blind against a small-blind raise at these pot odds. Calling keeps weaker hands in and avoids inflating the pot out of position.

Ace-high with no pair or draw on a paired queen flop has little equity against a preflop caller, so I check rather than bluff into a range that often connects.

I have no meaningful made hand or draw on this paired flop, so I’ll take the free card rather than bluff into the preflop raiser.

I have only a weak pair of eights with an ace kicker on a queen-paired board, so I check to control the pot and realize equity cheaply.

I have no made hand or useful draw, and checking takes the free card without risking chips in a pot where my opponent may be trapping.

The board already supplies trip queens with 9-8 kickers, and my 7-4 does not improve it. A bet is unlikely to get called by worse, so I check and take the showdown.

Q7 suited is a reasonable button open in a three-handed pot, so I raise to 2.5bb to take the initiative and fold out weak hands.

Calling the modest raise with a small pair gets a reasonable price and preserves the chance to flop a set. Reraising would be too ambitious out of position.

J5o has poor playability and realization out of position multiway, making an easy fold despite decent pot odds.

With a small underpair on a king-high, queen-high flop, I have little value in betting and can check to keep the pot small.

I have second pair as the preflop raiser and seat_3 checked. A small one-third-pot continuation bet applies pressure and can get value from worse hands while keeping the pot manageable.

A small pair has little equity on a K-Q-high flop, and the preflop raiser’s bet is likely to have me beat. Calling would require too much improvement to be worthwhile.

T♦8♦ is a playable button hand in a three-handed game, and raising applies pressure to the blinds while retaining decent postflop potential.

Q6o is too weak to call or 3-bet from the small blind against a button open out of position.

Q7 offsuit is too weak to continue against a button open after the small blind folds, so folding avoids a dominated spot.

T3o is too weak to open even from the button in 3-handed play. Folding is standard.

K4 offsuit is too weak and poorly connected to continue out of position for another half-blind after the button folds. Folding avoids a dominated spot against the big blind.

KQo is a strong button hand; a 3x open builds the pot and takes initiative before the blinds act.

8♠5♠ is a weak hand to defend out of position against a 3x button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

Holding J2o in the big blind against a 3bb open from the button is an easy fold.

With weak offsuit 5-4, calling invites a difficult multiway pot and raising is a poor steal attempt from this hand. I fold and preserve my stack.

J6o is too weak to complete or raise from the small blind out of position against the big blind.
