Hold'em table

T7 offsuit is playable as a button open three-handed. A 2.5-big-blind raise uses position and gives the blinds a chance to fold.

Ace-king offsuit is a premium hand worth 3-betting for value from the small blind. The larger sizing helps compensate for being out of position and pressures the big blind.

Q2o is far too weak to continue in the big blind against an open and a 3-bet, especially with the original raiser still left to act behind me.

T7 offsuit is too weak to continue against a large small-blind three-bet, even with position.

K2 offsuit is a weak button opening hand in a three-handed game and is dominated often when called. Folding avoids marginal reverse-implied-odds spots.

Pocket fives are well ahead of a random big-blind hand heads-up, so I'll raise to 3bb from the small blind for value and initiative.

KJo is strong enough to defend against a small-blind raise, and calling keeps weaker hands in while preserving position after the flop.

Out of position with an underpair on a connected J97 board that hits the big blind's calling range hard, so I check to control the pot and keep some showdown value.

Top pair with a king kicker is strong against a small-blind opening range. A 400-chip bet gets value from weaker hands and charges straight draws.

Pocket fives sit below every card on a connected J-9-7 board. Out of position, facing a two-thirds pot bet, I don't have the equity or playability to continue profitably.

94 offsuit is too weak to open from the button in 3-handed play against two blinds at 100bb depth, so folding is standard.

6-3 offsuit is a weak hand to play out of position against the big blind. Folding avoids investing more chips in a marginal spot.

T5 offsuit is too weak to open from the button against two players with deep stacks.

8-3 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against the big blind, especially with no positional advantage postflop.

J6 suited is a reasonable button open in a three-handed game, leveraging position and initiative at a small sizing.

QJo is well ahead of a button min-raise range in 3-handed play, and calling from the small blind out of position invites a BB squeeze. A 3-bet to 850 takes the initiative and folds out the button's weak hands.

T7 suited is too weak to call a large three-bet out of position, especially with the original raiser still to act.

Jh6h is too weak to continue versus a large small-blind 3-bet after opening, especially out of position postflop.

J8 offsuit on the button 3-handed is a standard open; raise to 2.5bb to steal the blinds.

QJo is strong enough against a typical three-handed button opening range to three-bet. Raising also puts pressure on the big blind and avoids playing a multiway pot out of position.

4-3 offsuit is far too weak to defend against a raise and large reraise in a three-way pot.

J8o is too weak to continue against a 3-bet from the small blind; calling 750 into 1350 with a dominated offsuit hand is unprofitable, even with position.
