94o is too weak to open from the button even in 3-handed play. Folding is clearly standard.

On the button three-handed, 87o is a standard open; raising to 3x applies pressure on the blinds and lets me play in position with a connected hand.

Jack-six offsuit is too weak to continue out of position against a button open, with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids putting more chips in with a dominated, low-equity hand.

Getting over 2 to 1 on a call against a button open with a suited hand that has decent playability postflop.

I flopped top pair on a monotone board without a heart, making a check the standard play out of position to control the pot.

I paired the flop with middle pair; seat_1 checked to the preflop raiser, so I bet to build the pot and charge draws, while keeping modest sizing against a likely check-call range.

I have top pair on a monotone board and am getting favorable pot odds of about 26% to call a half-pot continuation bet.

With four hearts on board and holding second pair with no heart, checking is the only sensible play.

I hold 7d8c on a four-heart board; my 7d gives me the second-nut flush, so I have the effective nuts and want seat_1 to bet into me. Checking induces a bluff or value bet from any heart, and I can raise or call depending on sizing.

All five board cards are hearts, giving us the board flush with no hearts in hand. We check to realize our showdown value and chop if opponent also holds no hearts, without risking chips into a heart.

J9o is playable as a button open in three-handed poker; a small raise steals the blinds and keeps the pot manageable.

Holding 4d 2h in the small blind against a button open is an easy standard fold.

Heads-up vs a wide button open, A3o has enough equity and the ace-high potential to defend cheaply; calling 150 into a 400 pot is a profitable price, and folding or 3-betting this weak offsuit hand is inferior.

I only have ace-high with a weak gutshot on a monotone flop against the preflop raiser, so checking is free and lets me fold cheaply if he bets big.

I have 9-T-J-Q-K, a strong straight, so I bet for value and to charge diamond draws rather than give a free card.

I hold only A-high with a gutshot on a monotone three-diamond board, and seat_3's preflop raise plus flop bet strongly suggests a flush or big draw. Calling 400 into 950 with roughly 10% equity is clearly unprofitable, so folding is best.

K7s is well within standard 3-handed button opening range, raising to 2.5bb for value and position.

5-6 offsuit is far too weak to defend from the small blind out of position against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act behind me. Folding loses nothing further.

J4o is too weak to continue against a button open after the small blind folds, so folding avoids a dominated, low-equity spot.

Nine-two offsuit is the weakest type of hand to play even from the button, with no fold equity established and two players yet to act behind the blinds. Folding preserves chips for a spot with real equity.

Button folded, so I only need 50 more to see a flop against the big blind's random hand. Q7o is weak and out of position, but the price is cheap enough to complete rather than raise or fold.

Check my option with T3s in the big blind to see a free flop in position.

Queen-high with no pair or draw on a dry flop; checking keeps the pot small and realizes a free card rather than bluffing into the big blind.

I have top two pair on a relatively dry board and want to build the pot against weaker pairs and draws.

Queen-high with no pair or draw on 2-T-3 does not justify calling a flop bet heads-up. Folding avoids putting more chips in with a weak hand.

A7s is a solid button open in three-handed play, so I raise to 3x to take the initiative and fold out weaker hands.

92s is far too weak to call a button raise out of position.

56o is a weak hand facing a 3x raise heads-up with 200 to call; folding is clearly best.
