Hold'em table

J8o is a standard button open in three-handed play; a 2.5bb raise takes the initiative and can fold out worse hands.

Queen-two offsuit out of position against a 2.5x raise is a clear fold; calling would leak chips with a weak, dominated hand.

Holding Ah Kc in the big blind against a button open, making a standard 3-bet for value and initiative out of position.

J8 offsuit is too weak to continue against a 10bb three-bet, even in position. Folding avoids a dominated spot with poor playability.

AKo on the button in a 3-handed game is a premium raising hand; a standard 3bb open puts pressure on both blinds and builds the pot while retaining position.

75o is an easy fold from the small blind against a 3bb button open.

QJs is strong enough to 3-bet the button open out of position, taking the initiative and denying easy realization. A raise to 900 is a standard size with fold equity and value against weaker opens.

Ace-king is a premium hand; 4-betting for value and fold equity against the 3-bettor, keeping stack manageable if called.

QJo is dominated by a button 4-bet range and I am out of position, so calling or raising further is -EV. Folding preserves the stack for better spots.

95s is too weak to open profitably from the button even in 3-handed play.

82 suited is too weak to continue out of position against the big blind for only a small completion, so I fold and avoid a difficult postflop spot.

54 offsuit is too weak to call or raise from the button against two live blinds, so folding preserves chips.

43 offsuit is the bottom of my SB defending range and I'd be out of position postflop against the big blind; folding saves the extra 50 despite the 3:1 pot odds.

K7o is a marginal but playable button hand three-handed; a min-raise lets me play in position cheaply and fold to real resistance.

96o is far too weak to defend out of position from the small blind against a button open.

Button min-raised, so I only need 100 more into 350 with an ace. A3o is too weak to 3-bet out of position, but the price is good enough to defend.

I flopped top two pair on A-3-5 and want value from weaker aces, draws, and button-open floats. A half-pot bet builds the pot without overplaying into a possible set or flush draw.

K-high with no pair, no draw, and no backdoor equity on an ace-high board against a BB who flatted preflop and led into the raiser. Calling 250 into a likely Ax range has no upside, and bluff-raising with zero equity when called is -EV.

A8o is a clear opening hand on the button in 3-handed play. Raising to 2.5bb applies pressure and takes initiative in position.

K3 suited is too weak to continue out of position against a button open; folding avoids dominated king spots and a poor price.

Defending the big blind with K7o against a button open; calling 150 into a 400 pot gives ~2.7:1 odds, which is profitable with a king-high hand, and I can fold easily if the flop misses me.

I flopped trip sevens with a king kicker, which beats everything except rare full houses, so I bet for value and to charge hands like Tx drawing to a full house.

Seat 2 leads into me for a large sizing on a paired board. With just Ace-high and a gutshot without backdoor suits, calling does not get sufficient pot odds or playability.
