Hold'em table

A-T offsuit is a strong button opening hand three-handed, and a 2.5 big blind raise applies pressure while keeping the pot manageable.

5-3 offsuit is a weak hand out of position against a button raise with the big blind still to act, so folding is best.

K6o lacks playability out of position against a 2.5x button open, making it a clear fold despite the pot odds.

8d7d is a suited connector on the button in a 3-handed pot. Calling 100 to win a 250 pot is a cheap price and the hand has good playability, so I call rather than fold or make a bigger raise.

Holding 32o in the small blind out of position against a button limp and the big blind still to act is an easy fold despite favorable pot odds.

A-Q offsuit is strong against a button limp. Raising to 500 builds the pot and charges weaker hands to continue.

8d7d is a suited connector with good playability. Calling 400 into a pot of 650 gives about 1.6 to 1 odds, and I'll have position on the big blind raiser, so calling is better than folding or a bluff 3-bet.

Top pair with a strong kicker can get value from weaker aces, kings, and draws. Betting also charges club draws on this connected flop.

8d7d has only a backdoor diamond draw on an A-K-6 board, so it's mostly air. Calling 700 into a 1750 pot needs about 29% equity, and it likely has less against a c-bet from the preflop raiser, so I fold.

K2o is too weak to open even from the button in a 3-handed game.

Pocket fours are strong enough to raise against the lone big blind, with a chance to win the pot preflop.

Q2 offsuit is weak; facing a 3x raise from the small blind, calling 200 out of position with a dominated, poorly connected hand is unprofitable, so I fold.

On the button, 5-3 suited is playable as a small open in three-handed poker, with position and some straight and flush potential.

AKo is a premium hand in 3-handed play. Raising to 900 from the small blind against a button open builds the pot with a strong hand and puts pressure on both opponents when I am out of position.

Facing a button raise and a small blind three-bet, A5s does not have enough equity to cold call out of position, making a fold the cleanest play.

Five-three suited is too weak to continue against this large three-bet, even with position.

K4o is a weak hand out of position in the blinds' eyes; on the button in 3-handed play it is marginal, but folding avoids a dominated, low-equity spot, and calling would be only slightly worse than folding.

A8s is a premium hand blind vs blind; raising to 3bb exerts pressure and builds value against the big blind.

KQo is strong against a small-blind opening range, and I’ll have position postflop. A three-bet builds the pot while putting pressure on weaker opens.

Facing a substantial 10bb 3-bet out of position, A8s is slightly too weak to profitably call or 4-bet bluff.

Nine-three offsuit is far too weak to open from the button, even 3-handed.

KJ suited is a strong heads-up opening hand. Raising to 3 big blinds builds the pot and puts pressure on the big blind.

K6o is a marginal hand, but the price is 200 to win a 400 pot (2:1 odds) against a small-blind raise that could be wide, and I close the action with position-less but a good price. Calling is reasonable; a 3-bet bluff is unnecessary. ,

This low, connected flop favors the big blind's calling range. With two overcards but no strong draw, I prefer to check and avoid building the pot out of position.

I have middle pair (sixes) with a king kicker on a 3-6-4 two-tone board. The small blind checked, so I bet about 2/3 pot to get value from weaker pairs and draws and to deny equity to overcards.

K-high has only a backdoor flush draw on this low board. Facing a 400-chip bet out of position, calling or raising is unlikely to be profitable.
