Hold'em table

J8o is on the bottom edge of button opening ranges in 3-handed play; folding avoids playing a weak, unsuited hand out of flow.

Q2o is too weak to complete out of position against the big blind after the button folds, so I give up the small blind rather than play a dominated, low-playability hand.

AKo is a premium hand on the button, so I open to 3x to build the pot and apply pressure before the blinds.

5-7 offsuit is far too weak to call 250 more out of position against a button raise, with the big blind still to act behind. Folding loses the least.

Defending the big blind with QJo getting 2.25:1 pot odds against a button open.

Check to the preflop aggressor out of position with Queen-high on a King-high board.

Top pair, top kicker on a checked flop; a half-pot bet builds the pot and gets value from worse kings and draws.

Holding Queen-high with only backdoor equity out of position facing a flop continuation bet, this is an easy fold.

Suited five-nine on the button in a 3-handed game is a standard steal-raise; a 2.5x open builds fold equity while keeping the pot manageable if called, and I can fold easily to pressure postflop.

Holding 8c 2c in the small blind facing a button open raise is an easy fold out of position.

83s is too weak to continue out of position against a button raise; pot odds do not offset poor postflop realization.

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

43 offsuit is too weak to continue out of position against the big blind; folding avoids further investment with poor playability and reverse implied odds.

K7o is too weak and easily dominated to open from the button, and limping is unprofitable, so I fold.

Heads-up after the button folds, 96o has solid equity against the big blind's wide range, and calling 50 into a 150 pot gives ~3:1 odds, making this a clearly profitable cheap flop see.

Check behind with A3o in the big blind after the small blind limps to see a free flop in position.

Flopped two pair on a coordinated board with straight and flush draws. Bet for value and protection after the small blind checked.

I hold 9-high with no pair and no meaningful draw on an ace-high flop, so calling 150 into a small pot has almost no equity. Folding is clearly the cheapest and best option.

A8s is a strong opening hand three-handed from the button; a standard 3x raise builds the pot and pressures the blinds while keeping the option to fold to resistance.

K3s is too weak to call or 3-bet from the small blind against a 3x button open with the big blind still to act.

K7 offsuit is too weak to defend out of position against a button open; folding avoids a dominated, poorly connected hand.
