Hold'em table

K5o is too weak to profitably open from the button in a standard 3-handed structure.

Only 50 to call into a 150 pot heads up in position; Q4o is weak but the 3:1 odds make completing profitable.

A2o is too weak to raise after the small blind completes, and checking is free as the big blind.

Queen-high with no draw on an A-K-4 board; I can't value bet and folding is free, so I take a free card.

I have top pair on a dry-ish flop against a limper who checked, so a small value bet builds the pot and denies free cards.

I only hold bottom pair (fours) with a weak kicker on an ace-high, two-heart board, and seat_3's 75% pot lead is dominated by Ax/Kx while draws retain equity. Calling 150 into 350 with little chance of improving profitably makes folding the clear play.

A6o is a profitable button open in a 3-handed game; raising to 3bb builds the pot with position and fold equity rather than limping in.

KJo is strong enough to 3-bet a button open from the small blind, where calling would leave me out of position. A raise to 1000 builds the pot and applies pressure before the big blind acts.

Holding 8h 5s facing a raise and a 3-bet is an easy fold.

I'm getting 3:1 pot odds (need ~33% equity) and A6s has that plus position postflop against a plausible 3-bet range. Calling keeps the pot manageable while retaining the ace-high blocker and flush potential.

I am the preflop aggressor on a dry ace-high flop, so a small continuation bet pressures missed hands and keeps the pot manageable with king-high.

I flopped top two pair (aces and sixes) on a dry rainbow board, so I'm raising their small bet for value against worse aces while charging the few straight draws and keeping room to stack off on later streets.

King-jack high has no pair or draw on an ace-high board, and the flop raise prices me out of a pure bluff-catch. Folding preserves the remaining stack.

T6o is too weak and poorly connected to open from the button; folding avoids a dominated, low-equity spot.

Completing from the small blind with Q9o getting 3:1 pot odds to see a flop.

I'm in the big blind against a limper with a marginal hand; a small isolation raise builds the pot with position while folding out junk, and I can fold cheaply if raised.

Q9o plays poorly out of position facing a raise from the big blind, making an easy fold.

76 offsuit is too weak to open profitably even on the button in 3-handed play.

Button folded, so it's effectively heads-up vs the BB where A2o has solid equity plus fold equity; a standard 3x open builds the pot with initiative while keeping risk small.

Q9o is playable enough in position versus a wide small-blind open, and calling 200 into 400 only needs about one-third equity. Raising would bloat the pot with a dominated offsuit hand.

As the preflop raiser on a dry paired board, a half-pot continuation bet has strong fold equity against the BB's wide calling range, and my ace-high plus backdoor clubs give some equity if called.

Queen-high with no pair and no real draw is too weak to continue against a flop bet on a paired board. Folding avoids putting more chips in with almost no equity.

Q8o is well within a 3-handed button opening range, and raising keeps positional pressure on both blinds while avoiding bloated pots out of position.

98o is too weak to continue out of position against a button open with the big blind still to act, so folding is the lower-variance play.

Holding 62o out of position against a 3x open is an easy fold with virtually zero equity and poor playability.

K5 suited is a standard button open in three-handed play, so I raise to 2.5bb to take the initiative rather than flat the big blind.

Folding T6s out of position in the small blind facing a button open raise.
