Hold'em table

A6o is playable as a button open in three-handed poker; a small raise applies pressure and avoids a weak limp.

5s2s is a weak, unsuited-in-value low card hand out of position facing a raise; folding is best to avoid investing more chips with poor equity.

King-ten offsuit is strong enough to defend the big blind against a 2.5x button open, but too marginal to 3-bet out of position; calling keeps the pot manageable with a hand that plays fine postflop.

I hold the K-high flush draw plus a gutshot to broadway on Q92 with two clubs, giving excellent equity. Betting ~2/3 pot applies pressure and builds the pot while I can still fold if raised for little invested.

I have the nut flush draw on a two-club flop and only need to call 350 into 900. That price is good enough to continue in position and reassess on the turn.

I hold top pair (K with T kicker) on a two-club board; betting the turn builds the pot against worse kings and charges any flush draw. A ~55% pot bet keeps the opponent's weaker holdings in while protecting my hand.

I have the nut flush draw plus an overcard in position, and the 700 call into 1950 offers acceptable odds with river implied value if I improve.

I hold top pair kings with a T kicker and have shown aggression all streets; a modest river bet extracts value from worse Kx and hands like AQ while my Ts blocks the JT straight combos. The size keeps worse hands calling without committing too much against AK.

Ace-high with no pair has almost no showdown value against a triple barrel, and I only beat pure air which is too small a part of this range to justify calling.

Button open with a wide 3-handed range; K7o is a reasonable steal attempt against two random blinds.

52o is far too weak to call 200 more or play out of position against a preflop raise.

JTo has enough equity and playability against a button open to continue. Calling 150 into 400 is better than folding or bloating the pot out of position with a 3-bet.

I have an open-ended straight draw but no made hand, and I am first to act out of position against the preflop raiser. Checking is free and keeps the pot small while realizing equity.

King-high with no pair or real draw; checking back keeps the pot small and lets me see the turn cheaply against a check from the big blind.

I have only a double gutshot with no pair and act out of position, so checking takes the free card rather than bloating the pot with a weak semi-bluff.

Only bottom pair with weak kicker; opponent has checked twice, so I'll check to control pot size and see the river cheaply.

Jack-ten high has no pair or straight on this river, so it is not a value hand. Checking realizes the thin showdown value against missed draws and weaker high cards without bloating the pot.

Weak pair of 7s with no showdown value to bet for value; checking back avoids bluffing into a likely stronger range after opponent's passive line.

A9o is a profitable button open in 3-handed play; raising to 3x the big blind builds the pot in position and pressures the blinds to fold or defend out of position.

26 offsuit is too weak to continue against a button open; folding saves chips.

Q4o is weak facing a raise; not worth calling out of position heads-up against the button's 3x open.

T5s is too weak and disconnected to open from the button into two live blinds; folding avoids dominated spots and unnecessary variance.

8-4 offsuit is too weak to continue even with a cheap call; folding preserves chips for better spots.

Weak offsuit low cards (4c2c) from the button facing a raise; not worth continuing given poor equity and no position advantage in a 3-way pot.

Ace-eight offsuit is worth an isolated raise from the SB heads-up against only the BB; a 2.5x raise builds the pot with position-equivalent initiative while keeping risk small.

52o is too weak to continue against a preflop raise, even heads-up in position. Folding avoids putting more chips in with a hand that rarely flops well.

Q5 offsuit is too weak to complete or raise out of position against the big blind after the button folded. Folding avoids playing a dominated hand with poor postflop prospects.
