Hold'em table

Opening with pocket queens on the button to build the pot and take initiative.

Q5 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button raise with the big blind still to act.

A3o is a suitable blocker-heavy 3-bet bluff against a button open, and raising applies pressure while retaining strong ace removal.

I hold pocket queens on the button facing a 3-bet from the big blind in 3-max. Putting in a value 4-bet to 2000 is standard and builds the pot in position.

A3 offsuit performs poorly against a large button 4-bet range, and calling out of position would be difficult. Folding preserves the remaining stack.

Pocket queens are a premium hand on the button, so I raise for value against the blinds.

Q8 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a 3bb button open with the big blind still behind.

Getting 2.25 to 1 pot odds against a button open, pocket threes have sufficient set-mining value and equity to defend the big blind.

Check to the preflop aggressor out of position with a weak pocket pair on a paired king-high board.

QQ is strong on this dry paired flop. A small bet can get value from weaker pairs and deny free cards to ace-high hands without building a large pot against a king.

Holding pocket threes on a paired King board leaves us with very little playability out of position against further aggression, so folding to the flop continuation bet is standard.

K4 offsuit is too weak to profitably enter from the button at this stack depth.

86o is too weak to complete or raise out of position against the big blind.

Q4o is too weak to open profitably from the button even in 3-handed play.

With the button folded, 8-7 offsuit is playable heads-up against the big blind. A modest raise gives me a chance to win the blind now while keeping the pot manageable.

J2 offsuit is far too weak to defend against a small-blind raise, especially out of position.

On the button, I can open this suited hand cheaply and play in position postflop.

K4 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against an opening raise with the big blind still to act.

63s is too weak to defend out of position against a button raise.

2-4 offsuit is too weak to enter with from the button under standard 100bb play.

T3o is far too weak to complete or raise from the small blind, so folding is the clear play.
