Hold'em table

K3s on the button in a 3-handed game is a reasonable open, applying pressure on the blinds and taking initiative with position. Raising to 300 is a standard 3x open that can win the pot preflop or set up a favorable postflop spot.

J5 offsuit plays poorly out of position against a three-big-blind button open, with the big blind still to act.

J6s is too weak to defend out of position against a 3x open from the button.

J2 offsuit is too weak to open profitably from the button against two unknown opponents.

In a blind-versus-blind spot after the button folds, raising with suited connectors applies pressure and gives us the initiative.

I have a weak hand (5h2h) and facing a raise from the small blind, I fold rather than defend out of position with a marginal hand.

76 offsuit is too weak to open profitably from the button even in 3-handed play.

With 99 in the small blind against only the big blind, I have a strong pair and should raise for value while taking control of the pot.

Q7 offsuit has enough equity to defend the big blind against a small-blind open, and I'll have position postflop.

Middle pair on a draw-heavy board; betting for protection and value against overcards and draws, and I can fold to a raise.

Q7 has only a weak overcard and backdoor draws on this flop. Calling 400 against a preflop raiser is unlikely to be profitable.

KJo is a strong button hand in 3-handed play, so I'm raising for value and to pressure the blinds.

A-T offsuit is strong enough to three-bet against a button open, and raising avoids playing a marginal hand out of position in a multiway pot.

Holding Q5o facing a 3-bet to 11 bb is an easy fold out of the big blind.

KJo has enough equity against a small-blind 3-bet, and calling keeps the pot manageable while I have position postflop.

Middle pair has showdown value, but this connected flop favors many hands that called the preflop raise. Checking keeps the pot manageable and lets me respond to a bet.

I flopped the nut straight with K-J on Q-T-9. I'll bet around 2/3 pot to build value and charge flush and straight draws.

Middle pair with little room to improve is a marginal call against a near-pot bet on this connected flop. Folding avoids committing more chips out of position with difficult turn decisions ahead.

T2 offsuit is too weak to open from the button at this stack depth without a reason to expect the blinds to fold often.

Holding T4o in the small blind blind-vs-blind, this hand is too weak to complete or raise out of position.

K2o is too weak to open profitably even from the button 3-handed.

A6o is strong enough to raise against a single big blind; taking the initiative can win the pot preflop or build value when I connect.

K6 offsuit has enough equity to defend the big blind against a small-blind raise, and I'll have position postflop.

I have top pair on a draw-heavy board and was the preflop raiser; a continuation bet around two-thirds pot protects my hand and gets value from weaker aces and draws.

King-high has no made hand or immediate draw on this ace-high flop. Calling 400 against a preflop raiser is unlikely to be profitable.
