Hold'em table

With 56o on the button in a 3-handed game, raising to 2.5bb applies pressure and takes initiative with position, while the hand has enough implied odds to continue.

6-7 offsuit is a weak hand in early position facing a 2.5bb raise. With only 50 chips invested and facing 200 more to call, folding preserves chips for better opportunities.

T4 offsuit is too weak to defend against a button open out of the big blind in this heads-up pot.

Pocket threes are a small pair with showdown value. Raising to 3x the big blind (300 chips) from the button builds the pot while maintaining position advantage and potentially isolates one opponent. This is a standard opening raise with a small pocket pair.

Suited 3-4 is too weak to continue from the small blind versus a button 3x open, especially with the big blind still behind.

With 4h2c out of position against a button raise, this hand is too weak to continue profitably. Folding avoids investing more chips with a dominated, low-equity holding.

8-6 suited is a playable button opening hand three-handed, with position and reasonable postflop potential.

9s2c is a very weak offsuit hand in the small blind facing a button raise, so folding avoids playing a dominated hand out of position.

AJo on the button in a 3-handed game is strong enough to raise for value and take initiative preflop.

4-10o (offsuit) is a weak hand in early position. Facing a raise to 300 chips (3x big blind) from the button, folding preserves chips for better opportunities. The hand lacks connectivity and strength to justify calling against a position raise.

8-5 offsuit is too weak to defend against a 3x button open, especially out of position.

2-7 offsuit is one of the weakest hands in poker. With a 100-chip call to make and no position advantage, folding minimizes losses on this unprofitable holding.

Closing the action in the small blind, T5 suited gets a cheap heads-up flop with reasonable playability.

With 6c3s in the big blind and no call required, checking takes a free flop with a weak hand. Raising a limper is possible, but this hand has too little equity to invest more preflop.

I have bottom two pair on a draw-heavy board and should value-bet while charging straight and flush draws.

My 6c3s misses this flop almost completely and has very little equity against a flop bet. Facing 150 into 350 with only backdoor possibilities, folding is the best play.

Open-raise the button with a suited-independent but connected hand that has reasonable playability three-handed.

K3o is a weak, dominated hand out of position against a button raise, so folding avoids unnecessary risk.

K9o is a weak hand facing a raise from the button after the small blind folded. With 150 to call and a relatively shallow stack situation developing, folding preserves chips against a likely stronger range.
