Hold'em table

9-4 offsuit is too weak to play from the button against two live blinds, so I fold rather than call or raise with a dominated hand.

97 offsuit is too weak to profitably complete or raise out of position against the big blind.

87 offsuit is below the standard opening range on the button in 3-max 100bb play.

J6 offsuit is playable heads-up, but raising from the small blind builds a larger pot out of position with a marginal hand. Completing keeps the investment small.

With a marginal suited hand and no call required, checking keeps the pot small and lets me realize equity with position postflop.

I have no heart and only jack-high on a monotone flop. Checking avoids building the pot with a weak hand out of position.

I have middle pair on a monotone flop and the small blind checked; a small bet can take the pot or charge draws, and I can fold if raised.

J-high with no heart or meaningful draw plays poorly out of position on this monotone flop. Calling the bet is unlikely to be profitable.

J9 offsuit is a reasonable button open three-handed. Raising to 250 puts pressure on the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

4d2h is a very weak offsuit hand and I am out of position facing a button raise; folding avoids investing more chips with poor equity.

A3o plays poorly out of position against a 2.5x button open and suffers from reverse implied odds, making it a standard fold.

K7s on the button is a good hand to raise with, applying pressure on the blinds and taking initiative with position.

65 offsuit is too weak to defend out of position against a 3x button open.

J4 offsuit plays poorly out of position against a three-big-blind button raise. Folding avoids putting more chips into a marginal spot.

9c 2s is too weak to open raise or play even from the button in a 3-handed game.

With the button folded, Q7 offsuit is strong enough to raise heads-up from the small blind and can win the big blind immediately.

T3o is a weak offsuit hand with poor postflop playability out of position. Facing a small blind raise, the marginal pot odds do not compensate for likely domination and poor realization, so folding is best.

A7 offsuit is a profitable button open three-handed. A 2.5bb raise applies pressure while keeping the pot manageable.

92s is too weak to defend out of position against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act behind me. Folding avoids playing a dominated, low-equity hand.

Holding six-five offsuit in the big blind against a button open to 2.5bb is not strong enough to defend out of position.
