Hold'em table

JTs is a strong suited connector on the button in a 3-handed game; raising for value and position with a standard 2.5x open.

Holding J5 offsuit in the small blind against a button open is a clear fold due to weak high-card value, lack of playability, and poor position.

7♥2♥ is a very weak hand with poor equity realization out of position against the button’s raise, so calling is not worthwhile despite the price.

Holding 83 offsuit on the button is well outside an opening range, making a fold the clear play.

Completing costs only 50 chips into a pot of 150, and suited 6-3 has enough potential to defend in this blind-versus-blind spot.

I'm in the big blind with a weak 94o but the SB only limped, so seeing a free flop costs nothing and folding gives up equity. Checking keeps the pot small with a hand that can only win cheaply.

I have a strong club flush draw and can combine its equity with fold equity by betting into the checked-through pot. A modest bet risks little while applying pressure to the big blind’s range.

I hold only 9-high with a gutshot to a 7 or J, needing about 5:1 pot odds but only getting roughly 2.6:1 on the call against a flop bet. Folding is the clear EV-maximizing play.

On the button, T3 suited is playable as a steal; a modest raise applies pressure while keeping the pot manageable.

6h4d is a very weak hand facing a 2.5x button open with a player still to act behind; folding is clearly best. Calling or raising would just bleed chips with a hand that rarely makes anything playable.

73o is far too weak to defend out of position against a button open.

On the button three-handed, J7s is within a reasonable wide opening range, and a standard 3x raise builds the pot with position while applying fold pressure on the blinds.

Folding J8s in the small blind facing a 3bb button open, as playing out of position with the big blind still to act makes calling -EV.

Q2 offsuit is too weak to defend against a 3x button raise out of position, despite the pot odds.

K3o is too weak to open profitably even on the button in 3-handed play.

A7 offsuit is strong enough to raise heads-up after the button folds; a 2.5 BB raise applies pressure while keeping the sizing moderate.

AQs dominates the SB's likely 3x-opening range and I have position; 3-betting to 750 applies pressure and builds the pot with a strong hand.

A7 offsuit is too weak to continue out of position against a substantial big-blind 3-bet, especially with the ace often dominated.

Q7 offsuit is a reasonable button open three-handed, and raising applies pressure while taking advantage of position. A modest raise to 250 keeps the risk controlled.

J4 suited is far too weak to defend against a 2.5x button raise with the BB still in; folding avoids playing a dominated hand out of position.

J2o is extremely weak and plays poorly out of position facing a button open, making this a clear fold.
