Hold'em table

QTo is a solid open on the button in 3-handed play, so I will raise to 2.5bb to build a pot in position.

A4s is a marginal but playable suited ace; calling 200 into a 400 pot gives good odds, though I'll need to proceed carefully out of position postflop.

9-8 offsuit has useful connectivity and the price is reasonable from the big blind, especially with the small blind already in. Calling keeps the pot manageable multiway.

I have only ace-high with a gutshot-ish backdoor on a Q-T-5 flop against two players, one of whom raised preflop. Checking is safest; I can fold to pressure or reassess on the turn.

I have only a gutshot and backdoor heart potential on this multiway flop, so checking keeps the pot small while preserving my chance to improve.

I flopped top two pair on a board with several straight and pair draws. Betting around 60% pot extracts value from worse queens, tens, and drawing hands.

I only hold ace-high with no draw on Q-T-5, and seat_1 showed preflop aggression then fired the flop into two players. Calling 450 to chase a likely-dominated ace has poor equity, so folding is cheapest.

The 450-chip call requires about 21% equity, but I have only a four-out gutshot to the straight plus limited backdoor possibilities. Folding avoids paying too much with a weak draw.

QJo is a solid opening hand on the button 3-handed; raising for value and position with fold equity against blinds.

Q5 suited is too weak to continue from the small blind against a button 3x raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

Folding 43s in the big blind facing a 3bb open from the button, as it underperforms out of position against a standard raising range.

T8 offsuit is playable from the button in a three-handed game, so I’ll open-raise to apply pressure and take initiative.

Folding T8 offsuit from the small blind against a button open as it lacks the playability and equity to defend out of position.

3h5d is dominated trash against a 2.5x button raise with the SB already out; calling 150 more for a weak unpaired hand has no profitable line postflop.

72s is too weak to open profitably even on the button in 3-handed play, so folding is the standard play.

A4s from the small blind heads-up against only the big blind has decent equity; a small raise builds the pot with fold equity while keeping risk low.

8♣2♣ is too weak to continue out of position against the raise, especially with the 3× sizing and resulting pot odds.

Pocket kings on the button in a 3-handed game is a premium hand; raising to 3x builds the pot and isolates the blinds while retaining position.

J7 offsuit is too weak to defend against a 3bb button raise, especially out of position with the big blind still to act.

K5o is too weak to defend out of position against a 3x open from the button.

9-3 offsuit is too weak to enter from the button, and limping gives the blinds favorable odds to continue.

T7o is too weak to profitably complete or open-raise out of position from the small blind.
