Hold'em table

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

A7 offsuit is strong enough to raise heads-up from the small blind. Raising to 300 puts pressure on the big blind rather than giving them a cheap flop.

A8o has enough equity against a small-blind open in a 3-handed game, and calling closes the action with good pot odds. Raising would bloat the pot with a marginal offsuit ace.

Ace-high has showdown value on this paired board, but betting is unlikely to fold out many better hands. I’ll check and reassess against a bet.

With A-high and a backdoor flush draw on a paired board, checking back keeps the pot small and realizes equity. The opponent's check suggests a weak range, but betting risks getting raised off my hand.

Ace-high has showdown value on this paired board. Checking keeps the pot small against kings and lets weaker hands continue.

Opponent checked twice on a paired board, showing weakness; I have the nut flush draw and can semi-bluff to take down the pot or build equity.

The turn bet follows a checked-through flop, so the big blind can have draws and bluffs as well as made hands. Ace-high has enough showdown value to call at this price.

Ace-high has some showdown value against missed draws, while a river bluff is unlikely to fold out many better hands after the turn bet and call.

Ace high has no showdown value, but opponent called the turn raise and checked the river. Bluffing into a likely pair or flush is risky and unlikely to fold out better hands, so checking preserves chips.

J4 offsuit is a marginal but playable button open three-handed. A small raise uses position while limiting the investment with a weak hand.

Js4h is too weak to call a button raise from the small blind, especially out of position. Folding is the best option.

Holding 8c 2s offsuit in the big blind against a button open is an easy fold due to extremely weak playability and equity.

86o is a weak offsuit hand with poor playability; folding avoids investing chips from the button in a marginal spot.

95o is too weak to complete or raise from the small blind, so folding is the standard play.

Opening KQs on the button with a standard 2.5x raise to build value and take initiative.

K2 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

Q5o is a weak offsuit hand facing a 2.5x button raise; calling 150 out of position with a dominated, low-equity holding is unprofitable, so folding is best.

Pocket threes are strong enough to open on the button three-handed. A 2.5-big-blind raise builds the pot while preserving position postflop.

T6o is a weak offsuit hand out of position against a button raise, with the big blind still to act; folding avoids playing a dominated, low-equity hand.

Getting attractive pot odds (150 to call into a pot of 400) from the big blind against a button open, QTo is a standard defend.

Check to the in-position preflop raiser with top pair, mediocre kicker, planning to check-call against standard c-bets.

My small pair has little value to bet on this queen-high, two-heart flop. Checking in position keeps the pot manageable and lets me reassess on the turn.

I have top pair with a decent kicker after the button checked back the flop. Betting around 60% pot extracts value from second pairs, draws, and hands calling one street.

Pocket threes have little chance to improve and are likely behind the turn betting range. Calling is unlikely to be profitable.

4d2s is the weakest possible offsuit hand and has poor playability even on the button; folding avoids investing 100 chips out of position postflop.

73o is a very weak unsuited hand out of position, making it a clear fold blind vs blind.
