Hold'em table

A8 suited is a strong opening hand three-handed, and I have position on both blinds, so a standard 3x open maximizes value and fold equity.

KTo plays poorly out of position facing a 3bb button raise, with the big blind still to act behind us.

7-2 offsuit is far too weak to defend against a button raise, even with the big blind discount.

T7s is a solid suited one-gapper well within the standard 3-handed button opening range, so raising to 2.5x is a standard steal attempt.

Q5 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

6h3d offsuit is one of the weakest hands and I'm out of position facing a button raise to 2.5x; calling or 3-betting has no profitable line here.

On the button in a three-handed game, 9♣6♥ is playable as an open raise. A modest raise takes initiative while limiting the cost if the blinds continue.

Queen-three offsuit is far too weak to defend the small blind against a button raise; calling 200 more with dominated, low-equity cards is unprofitable.

Q5o is too weak to defend out of position against a 2.5x button open.

AJo is a strong hand 3-handed on the button; a standard 3x raise builds the pot and applies pressure to both blinds.

Holding 4d 3h in the small blind facing a 3x open from the button is an easy fold out of position.

9-2 offsuit is too weak to defend against a 3bb button raise, even with the discount from the big blind.

Opening Kd6d on the button in 3-handed play is standard given position and suited king playability.

T9 suited has good playability against a button raise and is worth continuing for the 200-chip call, despite being out of position and the big blind still to act.

84o is far too weak to defend a 2.5x raise out of position against two active players; folding loses only the 100bb already posted and avoids a dominated spot.

This dry flop misses my hand, and checking keeps the pot small while preserving my backdoor straight and flush possibilities.

As the preflop raiser on an Ace-high dry board, a standard 1/3 pot continuation bet puts maximum pressure on the small blind's calling range.

The bet is small relative to the pot, and my hand has backdoor flush and straight possibilities plus some chance to improve. Calling is preferable to bluff-raising with little immediate equity.

I have a four-heart flush draw but no made hand, and the paired turn is a poor spot to lead into the flop bettor. Checking keeps the pot controlled and lets me realize my equity.

After being called on the flop, our King-high has very little equity, so checking back on the paired turn controls the pot and allows us to see a free river.

My ten-high has no meaningful showdown value, but the opponent’s flop bet and call line can still contain an ace or pocket pair that will call a bluff. I’ll take the free showdown rather than risk chips with a low-fold-equity river bet.

I have King-high with minimal showdown value, but Seat 3 called the flop and could easily hold a pair of eights or an ace that will not fold to a river bet. Checking avoids burning more chips against their calling range.

J♦4♦ is weak but playable on the button with only the blinds left to act; open-raise to take initiative and apply positional pressure.

Ten-four suited is far too weak to defend the small blind against a button raise while out of position with the big blind still behind; folding avoids a dominated, low-equity spot despite the cheap call.

Holding 63 offsuit in the big blind facing a button open, this hand is far too weak to defend out of position.
