Hold'em table

53o is far too weak to open raise from the button, even in 3-handed play. Folding is standard.

73 offsuit is too weak to complete the small blind after the button folds, so I fold rather than put more chips in against the big blind.

84 offsuit is too weak to call or raise from the button against two live blinds, so folding preserves the stack.

With the button folded, completing from the small blind is inexpensive and 6-3 offsuit has enough equity against the big blind's wide checking range to see a flop.

With pocket jacks in the big blind facing a small blind limp, I raise for value and to gain initiative in position.

6♣3♦ is a very weak hand, and calling 300 more out of position against a substantial raise is not worthwhile.

A3 offsuit is a reasonable button open in a three-handed game; a modest raise applies pressure while keeping weaker hands in the range.

ATo is well ahead of a 3-handed button opening range, making a 3-bet out of position to 10bb the preferred aggressive play.

Ten-deuce offsuit is far too weak to continue against a raise and a three-bet. Folding avoids putting more chips in with a dominated hand.

A♣3 offsuit is too weak to continue against a substantial small-blind 3-bet, especially with poor playability when called. Fold rather than pay 750 chips or make a speculative 4-bet.

K6s is a clear open from the button in 3-handed play to steal the blinds or play in position.

J2o is too weak to continue out of position against a button open, especially with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids putting more chips in with a dominated, unconnected hand.

A7 offsuit is a reasonable big-blind defend against a button open, and the price is favorable. I’ll call rather than inflate the pot with a dominated hand.

With ace-high and only backdoor straight and nut-flush potential, checking keeps the pot small and lets the preflop raiser continue with weaker hands or bluffs.

I have top pair with a weak kicker in position; checking back controls the pot size and protects my checking range.

With only ace-high and no meaningful draw, a turn bet has little value. I’ll take the free card and preserve showdown value.

I have top pair and the opponent has checked twice, so betting 300 chips extracts value from weaker pairs and denies equity to draws.

I have only ace-high with no meaningful draw, and the turn bet requires too much equity to continue against likely made hands.

35o is too weak to call or raise first in with two players still to act, so folding preserves chips.

A4 offsuit is a reasonable blind-versus-blind raise after the button folds. Raising to 300 applies pressure while keeping the pot manageable.

A3s is well ahead of a wide small blind opening range and plays great in position with strong flush and wheel potential, getting 2:1 pot odds to call.

I have the nut-flush draw and can apply pressure while building the pot when I have strong equity. A small continuation bet is appropriate on this coordinated, high-card flop.

I have ace-high with no draw on a board that heavily favors the preflop aggressor, making this an easy fold against a continuation bet.

J3 offsuit is too weak to continue profitably from the button against the blinds, even at the discounted call price.

With AKs in the small blind after the button folds, raising to 300 (3 BB) is standard for value and positional initiative.

T4o is too weak to continue against a raise, even heads-up from the small blind. Folding avoids putting more chips in with a dominated, disconnected hand.
