Hold'em table

King-five offsuit is playable from the button in a 3-handed game; a small open applies pressure on the blinds and can win the pot or build a cheap flop.

Weak offsuit 9-5 facing a raise, not worth continuing from the small blind.

63 offsuit is too weak to continue against a button open; calling or three-betting would be a clear chip loss.

Q5 offsuit is weak from the button facing a limped pot; not worth investing chips.

Button folded, so I am heads-up with pocket nines against the big blind. Raising to 300 builds the pot with a strong pair and denies a free flop.

Three-handed on the button, 96s is a standard open; a 2.5bb raise takes the initiative with position and suited connectivity.

Ace-two offsuit is far too weak to defend against a 2.5x button raise out of position with a dominated kicker. Folding is clearly best.

5-6 offsuit is weak, facing a raise with poor pot odds and no position; folding is correct.

Ace-high from the button in a 3-handed game is a standard open; raising builds the pot with position and can win blinds immediately.

AT offsuit is a decent hand but not strong enough to just call; 3-betting here builds the pot with a hand that plays well and can take it down preflop, while still folding to heavy resistance.

AKs is a premium hand and a clear 4-bet for value against a button open and small-blind 3-bet. Sizing to 2500 builds the pot while keeping fold equity and room to continue postflop.

A2s is far too weak to call 2200 more against two raises, with seat_3's 2500 4-bet signaling a very strong range. Folding preserves chips for better spots.

Facing a large 4-bet to 2500 after my 3-bet, ATo is dominated by a typical 4-betting range (QQ+/AK), so folding preserves stack for better spots.

On the button with K8 offsuit in a 3-handed pot, a standard raise to isolate the blinds is profitable.

Jack-four offsuit is too weak to continue from the small blind against a button raise, especially out of position. Folding avoids putting more chips in with a dominated, unconnected hand.

Heads-up against a button 2.5x open, T7o is a cheap call with 150 into a 400 pot and position on the aggressor postflop.

I flopped second pair with an open-ended straight draw (any 4 or 8), so betting ~2/3 pot builds the pot with strong equity while applying pressure to the preflop raiser.

King-high with no pair or draw on a coordinated low board; not enough equity to continue against a flop lead.

T7o is too weak to open from the button in a three-handed game; folding avoids a marginal spot with poor postflop playability.

Heads-up K3s has solid equity against the BB's wide range; a small raise builds the pot with position and applies pressure.

52o offsuit is weak, facing a raise heads-up with no pot odds justification to continue.
