Hold'em table

J8o is on the weaker fringe of 3-handed button opening ranges, so folding is standard and avoids low EV spots postflop.

Q2 offsuit is a weak hand; out of position against the big blind, it's not worth paying 50 more to see a flop.

AKo is a premium hand in 3-handed play, and on the button I have position, so I raise to 3bb for value.

Seven-five offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a 3x open with the big blind still to act.

Defending the big blind with QJo getting over 2:1 pot odds against a button open.

Check to the preflop aggressor out of position with gutshot/backdoor potential and Queen-high.

Top pair with an ace kicker on a fairly dry flop, in position against a checking big blind. A bet of about 70% of the pot gets value from worse kings and draws and protects against spades.

I hold Queen-high with only backdoor equity facing a substantial flop continuation bet, making this an easy fold.

On the button in a three-handed game, 9♥5♥ is playable as a small open. Raising gives me a chance to win the blinds or play the hand in position.

Holding 82s out of position in the small blind against a button open is an easy standard fold.

8s3s is a weak hand. Calling 150 to win 400 gives decent odds, but the hand plays poorly out of position against a button raiser, so folding is the simpler choice.

54o is too weak to open from the button even in 3-handed play.

4-3 offsuit is a weak hand. Even with only 50 more to call, I'd be out of position against the big blind for the rest of the hand, so folding is the better play.

K7 offsuit is a weak hand from the button in a 3-handed pot. Although the button gets some latitude, calling 100 and playing postflop out of position against two opponents is marginal. Folding is the safe choice.

Calling 50 more offers good pot odds heads-up, even with a weak offsuit hand. Raising would build a larger pot out of position.

We have A3o in the big blind with position against the small blind's limp. Checking allows us to see a free flop with decent high-card value.

I have no pair or immediate draw on an ace-high flop, so I’ll check rather than build the pot out of position.

I flopped top and bottom two pair in a limped blind-versus-blind pot. Betting 75% pot for value and protection against draws.

Nine-six offsuit has no pair or immediate draw on this ace-high flop. Calling 150 into 350 is not worthwhile.

A8 offsuit is strong enough to open on the button three-handed. A 2.5-big-blind raise applies pressure while keeping the pot manageable.

K3s is too weak to defend out of position from the small blind against a button open.

K7o in the big blind getting 400 into 150 (about 2.7:1) against a button open. The hand is marginal but has enough equity and position-independent pricing to defend cheaply, and a 3-bet bluff would be too loose.

I have trips (sevens) with a king kicker on a paired board, which is very strong heads-up out of position. A small bet of about 2/3 pot builds the pot and lets worse pairs and draws call.

Ace-high with only a backdoor draw is too weak to continue against this sizable flop lead.
