Hold'em table

42s is too weak to profitably open on the button even 3-handed.

9-2 offsuit is near the bottom of my range out of position against the big blind; completing would invest more with poor postflop playability.

J8 suited on the button in 3-handed play is well within opening range; raising takes initiative and fold equity versus the blinds.

98o is a weak offsuit hand out of position, and the big blind is still left to act behind me; folding avoids calling 200 into a marginal spot.

Defending 97s from the big blind against a button open of 2.5bb getting excellent pot odds.

I have third pair on an ace-high board out of position against the preflop raiser, making a check the standard play.

With second pair on an ace-high, two-club board in position, a half-pot bet protects against flush and overcard draws and gets value from worse pairs while keeping the pot manageable.

Facing a half-pot c-bet on an Ace-high board with two clubs, bottom pair with a weak kicker and no backdoors has poor playability and equity out of position.

On the button with 67o, raising applies pressure on the blinds and takes initiative; the hand has decent implied odds if called.

Holding 83 offsuit in the small blind against a button open is an easy standard fold.

T2 offsuit is far too weak to defend the big blind against a button raise to 300; folding preserves chips.

Holding pocket tens on the button 3-handed is a clear value opening raise to 2.5bb.

K7 suited with a king blocker is a good 3-bet candidate against a wide button open; raising isolates the opener, folds the big blind, and takes initiative despite being out of position.

Q7o is too weak to continue against a button open and a small-blind three-bet, especially with only 850 already invested.

Pocket tens are well ahead of a typical 3-betting range from the small blind, and calling allows us to play a sized pot in position.

As the preflop 3-bettor on a dry paired 3-3-2 board I have range advantage; a small c-bet can fold opponent's unpaired overcards despite my king-high having little showdown value.

Holding an overpair on a dry board in position against a standard continuation bet, calling to keep their bluffs in.

With king-high on a paired board after opponent called my 3-bet and flop bet, a turn barrel has low fold equity against pairs and Jx and little equity when called, so checking preserves stack.

Tens have decent showdown value as a second pair on a paired board; checking back controls the pot size and realizes equity in position.

King-high on the paired board has some showdown value against missed hands, and a river bluff would likely be called by Ax, pairs, Jx, and Qx that called preflop and the flop. Checking preserves chips and can reach showdown cheaply.

Tens have decent showdown value against missed overcards like AK or smaller pocket pairs, but betting won't get called by worse.

Q9o is well above average for a 3-handed button open, so raising pressures the blinds and builds value with position.

ATs is a strong hand in 3-handed play; 3-betting for value and to take initiative against a likely wide button raise.

Facing an open raise and a 3-bet with Q2o, this is an easy and standard fold.

Q9 offsuit is dominated by a large small-blind 3-bet range and lacks the equity needed to call 650, even in position.

AQ suited is a strong 3-handed button hand; raising applies pressure and builds value against the blinds.

Holding 53 offsuit in the small blind against a 3x open is an easy fold.

T4o is too weak to defend the big blind against a 3x button raise out of position; folding preserves chips.
