Hold'em table

AQo on the button is a strong 3-handed opening hand, so I raise for value and to take control preflop. A raise to 300 applies pressure while keeping the pot manageable.

T8 offsuit is too weak to call a 3x button raise from the small blind with the big blind still to act.

Kd6d suited in the big blind facing a 3x button open with 200 to call into a 450 pot gets good odds; K6s plays fine heads-up in position-disadvantaged but cheap defense, so call rather than fold or 3-bet.

King-high with a backdoor diamond draw on a Q-high two-tone board out of position against the preflop raiser; checking to the aggressor is standard and keeps the pot small.

I flopped top pair with top kicker on a draw-heavy board, so I will bet for value and protection after the big blind checked.

King-high with only backdoor draws on Q-high two-heart board facing a 70% pot c-bet out of position; insufficient equity and poor playability to continue.

T7 suited is a profitable button open three-handed, and a 2.5 big blind raise keeps the pot manageable in position.

4-6 offsuit in the small blind facing a button raise with the big blind still to act is a clear fold; it plays poorly out of position and has little equity.

82o is too weak to defend out of position against a button raise, even getting 150-to-400 pot odds; folding avoids playing a dominated hand with poor postflop playability.

2s3h offsuit is one of the weakest starting hands; even on the button in a 3-handed game it is a clear fold facing the blinds.

Heads-up against the big blind with QTo, raising to 3bb applies pressure and builds the pot with a hand that has good equity against the BB's calling range.

Q2 offsuit has enough equity to defend the big blind against a small-blind raise, especially with position after the flop.

I have top pair with an open-ended straight draw on a wet board, so I want to bet for value and protection. A 500 bet into 600 builds the pot while denying free cards to draws.

I have an open-ended straight draw with eight likely outs. Calling in position keeps the pot manageable while giving me a chance to improve.

I have second pair plus an open-ended straight draw, and betting charges flush/straight draws while applying pressure to Jx/9x that might fold on the ace. If called, I still have equity to improve.

I have an open-ended straight draw, but calling 800 is too expensive given the chance of a chop or limited payoff when it hits.

T5s is a weak, dominated hand from the button, and calling 100 into a small pot with poor playability is not profitable. Folding avoids unnecessary risk.

Calling 50 more gives 6-5 offsuit a cheap chance to see a flop heads-up. Raising would build a larger pot with a marginal hand out of position.

72o is the worst hand; SB limped and we have the option to check for free. Raising with trash is unprofitable, so take the free flop.

With bottom pair in a limped pot, checking keeps the pot small and avoids building it out of position against stronger hands.

7-2 offsuit missed the K-6-9 flop entirely; SB limped and checked, but a bluff into a small limped pot with no equity is low value. Take the free card and give up unless the turn improves.

Trips are strong heads-up, and a 150-chip bet can get value from kings, nines, and diamond draws.

7-high with no draw on a paired K-high board facing a turn bet; no equity to continue.

Pocket kings are a premium preflop hand, so I raise for value from the button.

9-5 offsuit in the small blind facing a 3x button open is a clear fold; it plays poorly out of position and lacks the equity to call or 3-bet profitably.

T2o is a weak offsuit hand out of position against a button raise, and calling 200 more with poor playability is not profitable. Folding preserves chips.

4d5c offsuit on the button is a weak hand; folding to avoid a marginal spot out of position postflop against two blinds.

Button folded, so KJo is strong enough to raise against the big blind and apply pressure rather than just limp.

With 4-3 offsuit against a small-blind raise, defending for another 200 chips out of position is unlikely to be profitable.
