Hold'em table

94 offsuit is below a reasonable button opening range in 3-handed play at 100bb, so folding is the low-variance, standard choice.

J2 offsuit is a weak hand, and out of position against the big blind it is not worth calling or raising. Folding costs only the 50-chip small blind.

Q5s is a weak hand out of position against two players; folding costs nothing, while calling 100 or raising with a marginal hand has little equity edge. Folding is a small, safe choice on the button, though calling is close.

7-4 offsuit is a weak hand out of position against the big blind; folding the small blind is the standard play here.

9-4 offsuit is a weak, unconnected hand that plays poorly even from the button in a 3-handed game; folding avoids bleeding chips out of position postflop against two blinds.

AQo is a strong hand in a blind-vs-blind spot after the button folded. I'm raising to 3bb for value and to take the initiative while out of position.

8-4 offsuit is a weak hand that plays badly out of position against a small blind raise to 3bb, so folding and giving up the 100-chip big blind is the better choice.

Q9o is a standard open from the button in 3-handed play, so I'm raising to 2.5bb to take the initiative and attack the blinds.

6h Th is a weak offsuit-ish hand out of position in the small blind, facing a button open to 2.5bb with the big blind still to act behind. Calling 200 more is not profitable, so I fold.

A8 suited in the big blind facing a 2.5x button open with good pot odds; calling is standard, keeping a playable suited ace in position-disadvantaged but cheap spot rather than bloating the pot with a 3-bet.

I hold A8 with a gutshot to Broadway (need a Ten) and backdoor clubs on a K-Q-J board that smashes the button's opening range; checking to the preflop raiser is standard, and I'll likely call a reasonable c-bet with my draw and overcard.

Second pair with a gutshot and a backdoor flush draw on a wet KQJ board plays well as a check-back for pot control and showdown value. Betting would mostly get called by hands that beat us.

I hold the nut Broadway straight with the ace on a KQJT board; betting for value and to charge spade flush draws rather than giving a free river.

I hold a king-high straight, and only an ace-high straight beats it, so I'm raising for value. The raise also charges flush draws and weaker hands like two pair and sets.

I hold the nut straight (Broadway) with Ac8c on KQJT; opponent's turn raise shows strength so I re-raise for value while the board is unpaired and no flush is possible yet, aiming to get stacks in before a scary river.

Our king-high straight beats sets, two pair and draws and chops with other 9x, but it loses to any ace, which fits this check-lead-3bet line. Calling 2050 into a 5100 pot is clearly profitable, while shoving would mostly get called by aces.

Ac8c on KcQsJsTd7c gives the nut straight (A-K-Q-J-T); no flush or full house possible, so we are unbeatable. Opponent called a turn 3-bet so their range is strong (sets, 9x straights, Ax chops); shove for maximum value since worst case is a chop.

We hold a king-high straight that loses only to an ace and chops with other 9x hands. The opponent will jam plenty of sets, two pair and chops, so calling 6450 to win 20050 (about 32% equity needed) is profitable.

Pocket kings on the button in a 3-handed game is a premium hand, so I raise to 3.5bb to build the pot and charge the blinds.

T4 offsuit in the small blind facing a 3.5x button open is a clear fold; it's far too weak to call out of position or 3-bet profitably.

KTo in the big blind against a 3.5x button open in a 3-handed game is comfortably ahead of a wide stealing range, and I'm getting 750:250 on the call. Calling keeps the opener's weaker hands in, while 3-betting would mostly fold them and leave me against better hands.

With K-high, an open-ended straight draw and an overcard on JJQ, checking to the preflop raiser is standard out of position. I can continue against a c-bet with my equity.

I have KK on a JJQ board, which is a strong hand that beats most of the big blind's range. I'm betting about two-thirds of the pot for value, and the Q/J on board makes it likely that I get called by worse hands.

I have an open-ended straight draw (any A or 9 makes the nut-ish straight) plus a king overcard. That is good equity against a small c-bet getting 2.5:1, so I call rather than build a big pot on a paired board.

With KT on JJQ2 I have an open-ended straight draw (A or 9) and little showdown value out of position. Checking keeps the pot controlled and lets me see how the aggressor acts before deciding whether to continue.

Kings with a full house-adjacent board: JJQ2 gives me two pair (kings and jacks are not quite; I hold KK with JJ on board, so two pair with a queen over). Villain checked the turn after calling the flop, so I bet about 63% of the pot for value against Qx, pocket pairs and draws.</br>

The open-ended straight draw (any ace or nine) plus some king outs, with deep stacks for implied odds, makes calling 1100 into 3950 acceptable against a button range that barrels wide. Raising as a bluff is less attractive on a paired board.

King-high with a missed gutshot has little showdown value, but leading into a range that double-barreled is full of Qx, Jx and overpairs that won't fold. I'll check and give up if they bet.

Kings with a board of J J Q 2 7 is a strong hand, and the opponent checked every street while calling two bets, so their range is mostly medium-strength holdings like queens or jacks-light hands. A value bet of about half the pot should get called by worse pairs such as Qx and Tx.}

King-high after missing the gutshot can't beat much of a triple-barrel range. Even its bluffs often include ace-high, so calling 1800 isn't justified.

A5o on the button in a 3-handed game is a standard open; raising to 2.5bb takes initiative against the blinds.

QQ is well ahead of a button opening range, so I'm 3-betting from the small blind for value. A larger out-of-position sizing denies equity and builds the pot.

7c Td is a weak offsuit hand facing a button open and a small blind 3-bet to 1000, so calling 900 more out of position with a cold-caller still behind is clearly unprofitable.

A5o facing a 4x 3-bet from the small blind out of position-ish (we have position but weak hand); A5o plays poorly against a 3-bet range and calling 750 into 1350 with reverse implied odds is marginal, so fold.
