Hold'em table

A3 offsuit is too weak to open profitably on the button at this stack depth in a three-handed game.

We have a strong hand (A9) heads-up, and raising to 200 puts pressure on the big blind and takes initiative. We are out of position, so raising helps define the hand.

Getting 3:1 closing the action in position against a small-blind min-raise, 65o has enough equity and playability to defend.

C-bet this dry flop to take down the pot; A9 has two overcards and can improve if called.

Trips with a weak kicker on a paired board. Calling keeps SB's bluffs and overcards in the pot and lets them keep betting, while limiting my losses against a better 5 or a full house.

We hold trip fives with a 6 kicker, and the opponent checked on the turn (a timeout fallback), so we bet for value and protection on a board with straight draws. A bet of about 550 into 800 gets called by overpairs, tens and draws.

T3o is too weak to continue against two opponents, even with position. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

A7s is a strong hand in the small blind versus the big blind alone, so I'm raising to 3bb for value and initiative.

QQ on the button is a premium hand, so I'm opening to 2.5bb for value and to build the pot.

4s2s is far too weak to continue from the small blind versus a button open, especially with the big blind still behind.

9-5 offsuit is a weak button holding and not worth entering against both blinds at this stack depth.

Calling gives good pot odds with a playable hand, while raising would risk more against the big blind who is getting a favorable price to call.

Small pair in position against a limping SB; raising for value and initiative is standard, and checking to realize equity is also fine. I'm going with a raise to 4bb to punish the limp.

6hTc is a weak offsuit hand out of position facing a raise to 400, and calling 300 offers poor equity with reverse implied odds. Folding preserves my stack for better spots.

63o from the small blind against the big blind is near the bottom of the range and plays poorly out of position. Folding is simplest; completing or raising has marginal value at best.

Pocket sixes on the button in 3-handed play is a clear open-raise; 2.5bb puts pressure on the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

9-high offsuit with a deuce is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button raise in a three-handed game.
