Hold'em table

In 3-handed play, K8o is a standard opening hand from the button to put pressure on the blinds.

T5 suited has enough equity and postflop potential to continue against the button’s modest raise at these pot odds. I’ll avoid bloating the pot out of position.

A5o is dominated and plays poorly out of position multiway after a raise and a call, so folding avoids a low-realization spot despite the price.

I have no pair and only backdoor draws, so I’ll check rather than build the pot out of position.

The flop is wet and connects well with the small blind's calling range, so checking behind with King-high and backdoor draws controls the pot and takes a free card.

With no pair or meaningful draw, betting into the preflop raiser on a paired queen board is unlikely to be profitable. I’ll check and avoid putting more chips in without improving.

We have King-high and an inside straight draw, so taking a free card in position is standard and realizes our equity cleanly.

I have no meaningful improvement beyond the board pair, but my ten kicker gives some showdown value. After the action checked through, checking avoids bluffing into hands that can call and beat me.

With King-high on a paired board where the action checked through flop and turn, checking back gives a free showdown against missed draws without risking chips against weak pairs or Ace-high.

A7 suited is a strong hand on the button in a three-handed pot, so I’ll open-raise to 2.5 big blinds for value and initiative.

2c8c is too weak and dominated to continue out of position against a button open; folding saves chips.

Holding 53 offsuit in the big blind against a button open is well below the threshold for defending, so folding is standard.

Q5 offsuit is too weak to open or limp from the button against two live blinds; folding avoids dominated kickers and poor playability.

A2s is a standard open from the small blind when folded to, playing well with high flush and wheel equity.

7♦5♣ offsuit is too weak to continue against a 3x raise, even in the big blind; it has poor equity and playability postflop.

T2o is far too weak to open from the button even in 3-handed play, making fold the clearly correct choice.

With the button folded, 7♦4♦ is a reasonable heads-up hand to complete from the small blind at this price.

J8 offsuit is too weak to raise for value after the small blind limps, and checking is free.

I have no pair or immediate draw, and checking keeps the pot small while preserving a chance to improve with my backdoor diamond draw.

Jack-high with no pair or draw has little value on K-Q-3, and seat_2's check does not justify a bluff into a dry board. Checking keeps the pot small and realizes whatever free equity remains.

I have a strong diamond flush draw and can apply pressure after the flop checked through. A small turn bet builds the pot while preserving room to respond if raised.

I have third pair on a K-Q-J board and only need to call 100 into 300. The price is good enough to continue rather than fold or raise a weak pair.

I have only a weak pair of kings with a low kicker, and the opponent called my turn bet. A river bet is unlikely to get better hands to fold, so I’ll take the showdown.

I have Kings and Jacks, which beats the unpaired board, but a river bet is mostly called by Queens, Kings, or a chop. Checking realizes showdown value for free after seat_2 checked.

KQs is a strong button-open in a three-handed game. Raise to 300 to build the pot and apply pressure to the blinds.

K8 offsuit is too weak to continue out of position against a button open, so folding is the highest-EV option.

Facing a 3bb open from the button, Q2s is too weak out of position to profitably defend.

K6s is playable as a button open in three-handed poker; a small raise takes the initiative with position rather than calling or folding a suited king.

A4o plays poorly out of position facing a button open and with the big blind left to act, making it a clear fold.

3♠2♦ is a very weak offsuit hand against a button raise, and calling out of position is unlikely to be profitable.
