Hold'em table

T5o is too weak to open from the button in 3-handed 100bb play against two blinds. Folding is the standard, low-variance choice.

8-high with a weak, disconnected holding is not worth defending from the small blind heads-up against the big blind.

KJ suited is a strong button opening hand three-handed. I raise to apply pressure and build a pot in position.

Q8 offsuit plays poorly out of position against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

Getting 3.25:1 in the big blind against a wide three-handed button open, 62s has enough equity and playability to defend by calling. A 3-bet with this hand isn't warranted.

Bottom pair on a dry K-high board out of position against the preflop raiser; checking keeps the pot small and lets the button continuation-bet with air, after which I can decide whether to call.

Top pair with a strong kicker is well ahead of much of the caller's range. A modest continuation bet extracts value while keeping weaker hands and draws involved.

Bottom pair plus a backdoor heart draw needs about 29% equity against a roughly 70% pot c-bet on a dry king-high board. That is enough against the button's wide range, so calling works better than folding or raising.

Bottom pair with no draw on a Qs turn that hits the button's range; check and see what they do, likely giving up to a big bet.

Betting top pair with a strong kicker and a gutshot for value while charging spade draws and weaker made hands.

With bottom pair and no draw on K-Q-7-2 against a button that has raised preflop, bet the flop and fired again for 1100 into 1550, I have very little equity. Calling needs about 29% and I'm drawing to roughly five outs, so folding is best.

T4 suited is a reasonable button open three-handed, with position helping offset its weak kicker.

Against a button open three-handed, 87s makes a reasonable 3-bet bluff from the small blind, and a 3-bet or fold strategy avoids playing out of position in a multiway pot. It has good playability when called.

J2 offsuit is far too weak to continue against an open and a large 3-bet from the big blind.

T4 suited is too weak to continue against a large three-bet, even in position.

53o is too weak to open from the button in 3-handed play at 100bb, and both blinds are still left to act, so folding is the disciplined choice.

Complete the small blind with a playable suited-ish jack? Actually Jh5c is weak, but the price is only 50 chips and we can see a flop heads-up.

K8 offsuit is strong enough to raise for value against a small-blind limp, and I will have position after the flop.

Jh5c is a weak, dominated holding facing a 4bb big-blind raise from the small blind. Folding avoids defending too loosely out of position.

T9 suited is a strong, playable button opening hand in three-handed play. I raise for initiative and to build a pot with position.

K9 offsuit has a useful king blocker against a button opening range. Three-betting avoids a difficult out-of-position call with the big blind still to act.

73o facing a button open and a small blind 3-bet is a clear fold; calling 850 with a weak hand, out of position against two opponents, is losing.

Td9d is a playable suited connector in position against the small blind's 3-bet, with sufficient stack depth to realize equity. Calling keeps weaker hands and bluffs in while avoiding an inflated preflop pot.

This ace-high board favors my preflop three-betting range. A small bet can fold out some better unpaired hands and lower pocket pairs without risking much.

I have a pair plus a diamond flush draw, giving sufficient equity to continue against the small flop continuation bet in this 3-bet pot.

King-high has little equity after the flop call, and the paired ace does not give me a strong reason to build the pot. I’ll check and reassess if the button bets.

Villain's turn check after a small flop continuation bet often indicates missed overcards or a marginal pair. Betting half-pot can gain value from weaker pairs and deny equity while retaining room to fold if raised.

King-high has little chance to improve on the river, and the turn bet after a flop call suggests a range that often has me beat.

T6 suited is a reasonable button open in a three-handed game, and a modest raise uses positional advantage without overcommitting.

73s in the small blind facing a 2.5bb button open with the big blind still to act is a clear fold; it is out of position and too weak to call or 3-bet profitably.

Q8 offsuit is too weak to defend profitably against a button open at this sizing.
