Hold'em table

Holding 93o on the button is well outside of a standard opening range in 3-handed play, making it a clear fold.

KQs is strong heads-up from the small blind, so I’ll raise for value and initiative rather than just complete.

Button folded, so this is blind versus blind and I have position. T6s is weak but suited and playable enough to call 200 into 400 against a likely wide small-blind open.

I have a strong combo draw: an open-ended straight draw and a flush draw. Betting 400 into 600 builds the pot when I improve and gives me fold equity now.

I have middle pair plus a club flush draw, and the price to continue is reasonable against a single flop bet. Calling keeps my showdown value and draws alive without bloating the pot.

I have a strong combo draw with a flush draw and an open-ended straight draw, so a sizable turn bet can build the pot and apply pressure to one-pair hands.

Second pair with a weak six kicker is behind most of a three-street betting range, and the price is not good enough to continue.

Pocket sevens is a solid button opening hand three-handed; raise to 250 for value and to take initiative.

J9o is too weak to continue from the small blind against a button open, especially out of position with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids a dominated, reverse-implied-odds spot.

With KTs in the big blind against a button open, defending by calling is standard given the favorable pot odds and strong playability of suited broadways.

Check to the preflop raiser on a dry disconnected board with King-high.

Bet small for value and protection with a pair of sevens on a dry, low flop; this can get calls from weaker hands while denying overcards a free turn.

Holding king-high with no direct draws or backdoor flush potential on a dry board out of position, folding to the flop continuation bet is standard.

T3o is too weak and poorly connected to open from the button for a full big blind; folding preserves the stack.

84s is too weak to profitably complete out of position against the big blind.

A9o is a solid opening hand from the button in 3-handed play; raising to 2.5bb to build a pot with position.

K4 offsuit is weak out of position, and calling risks entering a pot with the big blind still to act. Fold rather than defend against the raise.

75s has enough equity and suited playability against a wide button open to defend the big blind for 150 more. A 3-bet would be too thin out of position, so calling is the better chip-EV line.

I have no pair, no draw, and no equity on a paired ace flop, so checking is the only sensible option when it is free.

C-betting small with trips for value and protection against backdoor and diamond flush draws.

7c5c has no pair, no draw, and almost no equity on Ad Ah 6d against a preflop raiser who is betting. Calling 175 is not justified.

As the button in a three-handed game, 8♣4♣ is playable as an occasional open-raise. A modest raise applies pressure while keeping the pot manageable.

Nine-five offsuit is too weak to continue out of position against a button open, especially with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids paying 200 more with a hand that rarely flops well.

Holding 3c2d out of position against an open raise is an easy fold with virtually zero equity and playability.

On the button in three-handed, A5o is a standard open; a small raise takes the initiative and can fold out worse hands.

K3o is far too weak to defend out of position from the small blind against a button open with the big blind still to act.

J6 offsuit is marginal, but the button’s raise range is wide and the pot odds make defending from the big blind reasonable.

I have a modest middle pair with a weak kicker on a coordinated, two-diamond flop. Checking keeps the pot controlled and lets the preflop raiser act.

I have the nut flush draw plus a gutshot on a checked flop, so a semi-bluff c-bet builds the pot and can fold out better hands.

Middle pair has enough showdown value to continue against a button's flop bet, and calling preserves the option to reassess on the turn. Raising would be too ambitious with a weak kicker and no immediate strong draw.

I have only a weak pair on a coordinated board, so I’ll keep the pot small and see what the button does.

Ace-high with a double gutshot has some showdown value, and the flop caller is unlikely to fold a pair or draw to another barrel. Checking keeps the pot small and realizes equity for free.

I have a weak pair with some showdown value, while the river completes several plausible draws. Checking avoids risking chips on a thin bluff or value bet.

I have the second-nut straight (5-6-7-8-9) and only lose to a ten or a diamond flush. Opponent's passive line makes those less likely, so I bet for value against overpairs and two pair.

The river completes both the diamond flush and several straight draws, while my hand is only a weak pair of sixes. The bet offers insufficient reason to expect enough bluffs or worse value hands to call.
