Hold'em table

K3 offsuit is a marginal but playable button open three-handed. A small raise uses position without committing too many chips.

J2s is too weak to defend out of position against a button open with the big blind behind.

AQo is a strong hand heads-up against a button min-raise-ish open of 225. A 3-bet to 700 builds the pot with a hand well ahead of the opener's wide range and gives me position-independent initiative.

K3 offsuit plays poorly against a big-blind three-bet, and calling risks difficult postflop decisions with a weak kicker.

63o is far too weak to open even from the button in 3-handed play, making an easy fold.

AJs is a strong hand heads-up from the small blind against the big blind, so I raise for value and to take the initiative. A 3x raise is a standard size.

A4 offsuit is strong enough to defend the big blind against a small-blind raise, and calling keeps weaker hands in the pot.

Ace-high with the nut flush draw and a backdoor straight draw on 2c Ts 8h gives good equity. I'm first to act heads-up out of position, so a bet of about 2/3 pot builds the pot and can win it now or get called with a strong draw. .

Ace-four high has little chance to improve on this flop and no meaningful draw. Calling a two-thirds-pot bet is unlikely to be profitable.

J8 offsuit is a weak hand, and calling from the button with two players still to act behind me is marginal at best. Folding is a low-cost, safe choice.

Ace-six suited is strong enough to raise heads-up against the big blind and can make strong flushes and top pairs.

JTs has excellent playability in position against an SB open, making a flat call profitable.

This low flop favors the big blind’s calling range, and ace-high has some showdown value. Checking keeps the pot manageable while preserving the option to continue on favorable turns.

Checking behind on a low flop with two overcards and backdoor flush equity to see a free turn card in position.

I have a nut flush draw, a gutshot, and an ace overcard. A turn bet can win the pot now while building value when I improve.

I only have Jack-high with a gutshot straight draw to a nine, giving me roughly 4 clean outs (about 8.7% equity) facing a bet laying 28.6% pot odds.

AJo is a strong button-opening hand in three-handed play. Raising to 2.5 big blinds pressures the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

J5o is far too weak to defend out of position against a button open.

3-8 offsuit is a weak hand, and calling 150 more out of position against a button open would lose chips in the long run. Folding costs only the 100 already posted.

Holding 52 offsuit on the button is too weak to open or play, making fold the clearly optimal play.

A8 suited-less but ace-high is strong heads-up from the small blind against a big blind, so raising for value and initiative is better than limping or folding.

A4 offsuit has enough equity to defend the big blind against a small-blind raise, especially with only 200 more to call.

Ace-high with a backdoor draw on a dry K-4-3 flop, heads-up and first to act. A small bet of about 2/3 pot gets value from worse Kx-less hands and folds out hands like 5x or pairs below the king, while keeping the pot manageable if I'm behind.

Bottom pair with an ace kicker is strong enough to continue against a single flop bet from the small blind. Calling keeps weaker hands and bluffs in while I have position on later streets.

I hold the nut wheel draw made: A-2-3-4 on board gives me a straight (A,2,3,4 needs 5; not yet made) plus top-pair-like ace-high with a gutshot to the wheel, so I bet for value and protection since the opponent only called twice and the board is low. A half-pot bet builds the pot while keeping worse hands in.}

The call needs roughly 25% equity. My pair and wheel draw have enough potential against a small turn bet, while raising would risk too much against a king.

I have the nut straight (A-2-3-4-5 wheel) on the river, so I bet for value. Seat_1 called three streets and can still hold a king or a pair, so a bet of about half the pot should get called by worse hands.

I have a wheel, but any six makes a higher straight. Calling captures value from worse hands and bluffs without exposing more chips to a river reraise.

K2 offsuit is weak even on the button in a 3-handed game, and it is dominated by many hands that would call a raise. Folding avoids a marginal spot, though raising as a steal is a close alternative.

With the button folded, completing for 50 chips gives me a cheap chance to play heads-up against the big blind. Raising this weak offsuit hand would build the pot out of position.

Raising with QJo for value and initiative in position against a blind-versus-blind limp.

9-4 offsuit is too weak to call a raise out of position.
