Hold'em table

T2 offsuit is too weak to open profitably on the button against two unknown opponents. Folding avoids investing in a hand with poor equity and playability.

K4o is too weak to comfortably complete or raise out of position against the big blind.

J9o is well within standard opening range on the button in 3-handed play. Opening to 2 BB to apply pressure and play in position.

AQ offsuit is a strong value 3-bet from the small blind versus a button min-raise. Raising builds value and denies equity while taking initiative out of position.

T9 offsuit is too weak to cold-call a substantial three-bet with the original raiser still to act. Folding avoids a poorly realizing, frequently dominated hand without useful blockers for a four-bet bluff.

J9o opened from the button but is too weak to defend against a 3-bet from the small blind.

8-4 offsuit is a weak button holding and not worth entering with at this stack depth.

Completing the small blind costs only 50 into a 150-chip pot. With only the big blind remaining, 96 offsuit has enough equity to limp rather than surrender immediately.

I hold 4s 2d in the big blind facing a limp from the small blind; checking to see a free flop is the standard and highest EV play.

Nine-high has little equity or useful backdoor potential on this flop. Checking avoids investing out of position with a poor bluff candidate.

I have 4-high with negligible equity on a disconnected board, so checking behind to see a free turn card is standard.

With almost no showdown value, a half-pot stab targets the big blind's many unpaired hands after the flop checked through. The bluff needs to succeed only one-third of the time to break even immediately.

I only have a gutshot straight draw with four outs and no showdown value, which is not enough equity to call a half-pot turn bet.

Q7 offsuit is a reasonable button open three-handed. A small raise pressures the blinds while keeping the investment modest and preserving positional advantage if called.

Folding 96o from the small blind against a button open is standard.

J8 suited has ample equity and playability heads-up versus a small button open, especially closing the action from the big blind.

I will check my top pair to keep the button's range wide and allow them to bluff or value-bet worse holdings.

This paired flop favors my preflop raising range, making a small continuation bet an efficient bluff. Betting 30% of the pot can fold out better high-card hands while risking relatively little.

Call with top pair and an adequate kicker on this paired board. Raising would mostly fold out weaker hands while retaining stronger Jx, trips, and draws.

I lead for value and protection with top pair on the paired board, while charging single-club holdings and worse Jx that may call.

Queen-high with no club has very little equity against a turn lead on this paired, three-club board. With no strong draw or useful bluff blockers, neither calling nor raising is profitable.

Open-raising 2.5bb from the button with premium suited broadway AKs to build the pot and take initiative.

7-2 offsuit is far too weak to defend against a button raise from the small blind.

86 offsuit is a marginal defend against a 2.5-big-blind button raise and realizes equity poorly out of position. Without evidence of an unusually wide opening range, folding is preferable.

On the button, T6 suited is a reasonable steal candidate against the blinds. A 2.5bb open applies pressure while retaining maneuverability.

Nine-deuce offsuit is too weak to defend against a button raise from the small blind, especially with the big blind still to act.

Holding 86s in the big blind against a button 2.5bb open, getting 2.7 to 1 direct pot odds; this suited one-gapper has solid postflop playability and is a standard defense.

Check to the preflop aggressor on a paired king-high board with eight-high.

A small continuation bet leverages the preflop range advantage on this paired king-high board while risking little with a weak hand.

I have eight-high with minimal backdoor equity on a paired king-high board facing a c-bet, making fold the clearly correct play.
