Hold'em table

Pocket fours on the button in a 3-handed game is ahead of most opening ranges and plays well in position. Raising to 2.5bb builds value and denies free equity to the blinds.

QTo is a reasonable hand to continue with for a small additional investment against a standard button open in a 3-handed pot.

Jack-four offsuit is too weak to continue out of position against a raise and a call. Folding saves chips for better spots.

I have an open-ended straight draw (9 or K) plus overcard potential on a paired board; betting applies pressure and builds the pot while I have decent equity.

Pocket fours are below the paired Jack board and even lose to a six or any higher pair. Facing a half-pot lead, my equity and implied odds are too poor to continue.

K5 offsuit is weak but I have button position and cheap price to see a flop in a 3-handed pot.

46o is too weak to complete from the small blind after a button limp, so folding saves the extra half-blind.

K9o is ahead of a button limp range and I have fold equity heads-up; raising isolates and can take the pot now rather than playing a small pot out of position for free.

K5 offsuit is too weak to continue against a raise, especially out of position postflop.

On the button in three-handed, T6o is a marginal but playable open; a small raise is better than limping and applies pressure to the blinds.

6-9 offsuit is too weak to call a button raise from the small blind out of position.

J3 offsuit is a weak jack with a poor kicker and little playability three-handed on the button; folding avoids a negative-EV limp or bluff.

KQ suited is strong heads-up vs BB after button folded; raise for value and isolation.

J6o is too weak to defend out of position against a 3x small-blind open; pot odds do not compensate for poor playability and domination risk.

Button steal attempt with a decent King-high hand in a 3-handed pot; raising applies pressure on both blinds.

KJo is ahead of a wide button open in three-handed play, so I 3-bet to take the initiative out of position rather than flat-call.

4-2 offsuit is a very weak hand facing a button open and a small-blind 3-bet to 1000; calling 900 would be unprofitable.

K7o facing a large 3-bet is too weak to continue profitably; folding preserves chips.

T3s is too weak and gapped to open even on the button in three-handed play; folding avoids a dominated pot.

Q7o has good equity heads-up against a random big blind and I only need 25% to call 50 into 150, but playing out of position postflop favors keeping the pot small rather than raising.

I'm the big blind with a weak hand (T4o), no raise to call, checking is free and I avoid building a pot out of position with a marginal hand.

Heads-up with a queen-high diamond flush draw and an overcard on a paired board, a small semi-bluff bet gains fold equity while building the pot if the flush completes.

T4 offsuit missed the board; facing a bet on a 9-9-3 board with no pair or draw, folding is cheapest.
