Hold'em table

Q6 offsuit is a weak hand, and calling from the button out of position against two blinds isn't profitable enough, so I fold and wait for a better spot.

J8o is too weak and disconnected to play profitably out of position against the big blind.

Holding 7h 3s on the button is well outside any reasonable opening range, so folding is the standard play.

Calling 50 more is inexpensive against the big blind’s unraised, likely wide range. Raising with 8-6 offsuit would build a larger pot while out of position.

A4 suited is a strong hand heads-up against a limping small blind, so I raise for value and to take the initiative. A 3x raise is a reasonable size with position not in my favor.

8-6 offsuit is weak against a big-blind raise, and playing the rest of the hand out of position makes calling unappealing.

A8 offsuit is strong enough to open on the button three-handed. A 2.5-big-blind raise applies pressure while keeping the pot manageable.

4-2 suited is weak from the small blind facing a button raise to 250 with a big blind still to act behind me. Calling 200 more out of position with this hand has negative expected value.

J4 offsuit is too weak to defend against a button open, even getting decent pot odds.

J9 suited on the button in a 3-handed game is a solid open. A 3bb raise uses position and the fold equity against two blinds.

Holding 4h 3d in the small blind facing a 3bb open from the button is an easy fold with unsuited trash.

A7 offsuit is strong enough to defend the big blind against a button open, especially with the small blind's chips already in the pot.

With ace-high and no strong draw on this flop, I’ll check to the preflop raiser rather than build the pot out of position.

Top pair with a flush draw and a backdoor straight draw on a wet board, heads-up in position after the big blind checked. A bet of about 60% of the pot builds value and protects against draws.

A-high has little chance to improve on this flop, and calling out of position against the continuation bet is unlikely to be profitable.

Opening J9o from the button in a 3-handed game is standard to apply pressure on the blinds and utilize positional advantage.

The small button raise gives my suited hand a good price to continue. Calling keeps the pot manageable out of position.

AKs in the big blind facing a button raise and a small blind call is a strong hand. A raise to 700 builds the pot with a hand that plays well and takes the initiative against two opponents.

J9o opened from the button but is far too weak to call a 3.5x 3-bet from the big blind, especially with the small blind still left to act.

The 500-chip call closes the action and gives my suited, connected hand a reasonable price to see a flop against a possible squeeze.

With a gutshot and some potential to improve, I can take the free card rather than bet into a range that may include overpairs.

I have ace-king of spades with two overcards and a backdoor flush draw on a dry 5-2-6 flop, and seat_3 checked. A bet of about half the pot builds the pot and denies equity, with plenty of outs if called.

I have only a gutshot and uncertain pair outs against a preflop three-bettor. Calling 800 out of position is unlikely to be profitable.

J2 suited is playable as a button open in a three-handed game, and a modest raise gives me a chance to win the blinds.

32o is the worst starting hand; facing a button raise with the big blind still to act, folding is clearly best rather than putting in 200 more.

Q2o is an unplayable trash hand out of position facing an open raise; a clear and easy fold.
