Hold'em table

K3s is a reasonable button steal hand, and raising to 3x the big blind puts pressure on the blinds while taking dead money when they fold.

J5 offsuit from the small blind is too weak to continue against a 3x button open. The big blind is still to act behind me, and I'd be out of position postflop.

J6 suited has sufficient heads-up equity against a button opening range and favorable pot odds to defend the big blind.

Checking preserves pot control with bottom pair on a coordinated board while allowing the preflop raiser to c-bet.

I raised preflop and have position on a dry-ish flop; a continuation bet should take down the pot often. If called, I still have overcard outs and can slow down on later streets.

We have bottom pair with a decent kicker in a heads-up pot and are getting a favorable price against a small continuation bet. Calling keeps in bluffs and weaker overcards.

I have trip sixes with a strong kicker and should lead for value while charging tens, pocket pairs, and spade holdings.

J2 offsuit is too weak to open from the button in 3-handed play against two blinds; folding is standard.

4♦3♦ is too weak to continue from the small blind against the big blind at this stack depth.

7-6 offsuit is too weak to open profitably in this short-handed spot.

Pocket nines are strong heads-up against the big blind, so I raise to build the pot and pressure a random hand. This also gives me control of the hand postflop.

This is a blind-vs-blind spot facing a 3x raise from the small blind. We are getting 2:1 with position, and SB's range is wide, so Q7o is a reasonable defend.

The SB raiser checked (a fallback timeout, not a real decision), and we hold an open-ended straight draw plus a queen overcard on J-T-4. A modest bet of about 58% pot takes the initiative and can win the pot now, while keeping our draw's equity if called.

KJo is strong enough to raise from the button; I'll make it 300 to put pressure on the blinds and take the pot preflop.

ATo in the small blind facing a 3-handed button open is well ahead of a wide opening range. A 3-bet to 1100 plays better out of position than flatting and applies pressure to both the opener and the big blind.

Q5 offsuit is too weak to defend against a button open and small blind 3-bet at this sizing.

Facing a large reraise to 1100 with KJo out of position and no strong draw, folding preserves chips for better spots.

T2o is too weak to open profitably even from the button in 3-handed play against two blinds, so folding is the disciplined choice.

T4 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against the big blind at this stack depth.

K2 offsuit is too weak to profitably open from the button in this configuration.
