Hold'em table

Three-handed, the button is a prime stealing spot, and even weak kings like K2o are near the bottom of a viable open range. A cheap min-raise pressures the blinds while keeping my risk small, and I can easily fold to a 3-bet.

Holding 53 offsuit out of position against a button open is an easy fold.

T5s is weak but the button only min-raised and I am getting 3.5:1 in the big blind, so a call is priced in while a 3-bet out of position is not.

I have no pair and only a backdoor club draw on a queen-high flop that favors the preflop raiser. Checking is free and avoids bloating the pot with a weak hand.

I was the preflop raiser and the BB checked a dry Q84 board, so a ~2/3-pot continuation bet folds out most unpaired hands and represents a queen or overpair; I can easily fold if raised.

Ten-five offsuit has no pair, no draw, and no equity against a flop c-bet on Q-4-8. Folding is the clear choice.

T6s is slightly too weak to open profitably from the button even in 3-handed play, making fold the standard play.

Button folded, so this is heads-up versus the big blind. Js8s is suited and playable, and a small raise takes the initiative rather than completing out of position.

J4s is a playable suited button open in three-handed poker; a small raise takes the initiative and can win the blinds or realize equity in position.

84 offsuit is far too weak to call a 2.5x button raise out of position against two opponents, and a min-raise bluff with this hand is unprofitable. Folding saves 200 chips; the 50 already posted is sunk cost.

A2o has poor playability out of position against a 2.5x button open, making it a standard fold.

Holding AK offsuit in the small blind after the button folds, raising to 300 (3bb) for value against the big blind.

85o is too weak to continue against a small-blind raise after the button folds, so folding is the highest-EV option.

Q7o is too weak to open profitably even from the button in 3-handed play.

Button folded, so this is heads-up versus the big blind. Jack-five suited is playable enough to raise rather than limp, and a small open keeps the pot controlled.

AQ suited is a premium hand and I have position on the small blind postflop, so I 3-bet for value to build the pot and isolate. A standard 3x raise to 900 keeps the pot manageable while applying pressure.

J5s is too weak to continue out of position against a BB three-bet after my small-blind open. Folding avoids putting more chips in with a dominated, low-equity hand.

Q6 offsuit is too weak and poorly connected to open from the button, and calling leaves both blinds able to raise. Folding avoids a dominated, low-playability hand.

Heads-up against only the big blind, J5 suited is easily worth completing for 50 more; it has decent flop potential and folding would be too tight from the small blind.

Checking back Q3s in the big blind to see a free flop in position against the small blind's limp.

J-high on A-high board heads up; checking keeps the pot small and lets BB bluff or we realize equity cheaply.

I have Queen-high with no draw on an Ace-high board; checking behind to see a free turn card is standard.

I only have ace/jack-high with no draws after two checks, so betting is a thin bluff into a big blind who showed no aggression; checking keeps the small pot cheap and my ace-high can still win at showdown.

We picked up a gutshot straight draw on the turn, and checking behind allows us to see a free river card and realize our equity.

I hold top pair of jacks on a checked-through board; betting ~75% pot extracts value from weaker hands while giving up little if raised.

I hold Queen-high with no pair or flush on a coordinated board, making a call unprofitable against a river bet.
