Hold'em table

K2o is too weak to call or raise into two players from the button; folding avoids playing a dominated hand out of position postflop.

Holding weak offsuit five-three in the small blind, folding is the standard play rather than completing out of position.

T6s has sufficient equity and playability on the button in 3-handed play to open with a min-raise.

J8 suited plays well enough to pressure a wide button min-raise. Raising also avoids inviting the big blind into a cheap three-way pot while I’m out of position.

77 has set-mining value and I only need to call 700 more into a 1100 pot; 3-handed ranges are wide enough to continue.

T6s has very low equity against a 3-bet and a call, making this an easy fold despite getting position.

J-high has little equity or backdoor potential on this low, dry flop. Checking avoids building a large pot out of position.

I flopped top set on a dry board, and the preflop 3-bettor checked. Betting for value builds the pot and charges any overcards or draws.

With no pair, no immediate draw, and only weak backdoor possibilities, calling this sizable flop bet is unlikely to be profitable.

J4 suited is playable from the button three-handed. A 2.5-big-blind open gives me initiative and position postflop.

8-4 offsuit is too weak to defend against a button raise out of position. Folding avoids playing a dominated hand with poor postflop playability.

A2o plays poorly out of position against a button open, making it a standard fold in the big blind.

T9o on the button has decent steal equity and plays well enough postflop in a 3-handed game; raising applies pressure on the blinds.

Holding premium AK offsuit in the small blind against a button open, standard 3-bet for value and initiative out of position.

8-5 offsuit is too weak to defend the big blind against a large small-blind three-bet with the button still in the hand.

T9o is too weak to continue against a sizable small-blind 3-bet, even with position. Folding avoids playing a dominated offsuit hand in a bloated pot.

Q7o is on the bottom edge of button opening ranges; folding is a clean zero-EV baseline play.

J5 suited is strong enough to raise heads-up against the big blind. Raising gives me a chance to win the blinds now while retaining playable equity if called.

AQ suited is a strong 3-handed blind-battle hand; 3-betting to 900 applies pressure and builds the pot with an equity advantage.

J5 suited is too weak to defend against this three-bet, especially out of position.

Q6 offsuit is a reasonable button open three-handed, and a 2.5-big-blind raise gives me a chance to win the blinds while retaining position if called.

J5s is a weak, easily dominated hand out of position against a button raise, and calling would risk 200 with poor playability. Folding preserves chips in this marginal spot.

Facing a 2.5bb button open, Q3s is too weak to profitably defend out of position.
