Hold'em table

K3 suited is a reasonable button open three-handed, and a 2.5 big blind raise applies pressure while keeping the pot manageable.

J5 offsuit in the small blind facing a button open, with the big blind still to act behind, is a clear fold.

J♣6♣ is a reasonable BB defend against a button open, and the 150-chip call gets a good price heads-up.

With a weak pair and no meaningful draw on a two-spade flop, checking keeps the pot controlled and lets the preflop raiser act.

This flop favors the big blind’s defending range, and my king-high hand has little drawing potential. Checking keeps the pot small.

I have trip sixes and should value-bet while charging spade draws and other hands with equity. A modest bet can also get calls from Tx and weaker pairs.

King-high with no meaningful draw is unlikely to be ahead of a turn bet, and the price is too high to continue.

J2 offsuit is too weak to open profitably from the button in 3-handed play against two blinds, so I fold.

With a suited hand and favorable pot odds, calling the remaining 50 is preferable to folding. Raising 4♦3♦ would build the pot with a weak hand out of position.

5♥2♥ is too weak to raise for value, but I can see the flop for free against the small blind’s limp.

I have only a gutshot straight draw and a backdoor flush draw, so I’ll take the free option and avoid building the pot with a weak hand.

With no pair and only backdoor draws, I prefer to see a free turn rather than build the pot.

I have only a modest draw to a five for a straight and no made hand. Checking preserves the chance to see the river for free without inflating the pot.

After two checks, a small turn bet can fold out unpaired hands. The heart draw gives me a chance to improve if called.

I have only a weak low-card hand with no meaningful draw, and calling the turn bet is unlikely to be profitable.

As the button in a three-handed pot, 7-6 offsuit is a reasonable steal candidate. A modest raise applies pressure to the blinds while keeping the risk controlled.

Pocket nines are strong enough to three-bet a button open. Raising to 1000 pressures the opener and makes it harder for the big blind to enter cheaply.

Q7o facing a 3-bet to 10bb with the original raiser still behind is a clear fold; calling 900 would put me out of position with a dominated hand.

76 offsuit is too weak to continue against a sizable small-blind 3-bet, even with position. Calling would put in 7.5 more big blinds with poor playability.

KJo is strong enough to open on the button in a three-handed game. A 2.5 big blind raise applies pressure while keeping the pot manageable.

ATo in the small blind against a button open in 3-handed play is strong enough to 3-bet for value, and it denies the big blind a cheap look. Sizing to 10bb out of position.

Q5 offsuit is too weak to continue against a button open and a large small-blind 3-bet. Folding avoids investing more from the big blind.

KJo is often dominated by a small-blind 3-bet range, and calling the large raise with an offsuit hand risks difficult postflop decisions.

T2o is a weak hand even on the button in 3-handed play against two blinds with 100bb stacks, so folding is standard.

With the button folded, calling the extra 50 gets a favorable price heads-up against the big blind. T4 offsuit is weak, so I’ll avoid raising and see a flop cheaply.

A-T offsuit is strong against a small-blind limp. I raise for value and to take initiative despite being out of position.

T4 offsuit is too weak to continue against a sizable raise, especially out of position.

On the button three-handed, K-two offsuit is weak but playable as a steal attempt. A modest raise puts pressure on the blinds while keeping the risk controlled.

A6 offsuit has an ace blocker and reasonable equity against a wide button opening range. Three-betting avoids a difficult call from the small blind with the big blind still to act.

K6o in the big blind facing an open and a 3-bet squeeze from the small blind is far too weak to continue, especially with the opener still left to act behind.

K♦2♣ is too weak to continue against a large 3-bet, especially out of position to the small blind postflop. Folding preserves the remaining stack.
