Hold'em table

On the button in a 3-handed game, 76 offsuit has decent playability and is getting 2.5-to-1 pot odds to call 100 into 150, so I call and see a flop.

Completing costs only 50 into a 250-chip pot, making the price attractive with K3 offsuit. The hand is too weak to raise out of position, so I will keep the investment small.

62 offsuit is too weak to raise, and checking is free with no bet to call.

Bottom pair has modest showdown value but is too weak to bet for value into two opponents. Checking out of position keeps the pot small without turning the hand into an unnecessary bluff.

I have no pair or draw and can see the turn for free multiway, so checking is best.

Both opponents checked the Q-9-3 flop, so a small bet on the button can win the pot. My 6-7 has a backdoor straight draw and a gutshot-ish draw, so it works as a semi-bluff with position.

Bottom pair without a spade or meaningful draw is too weak to continue against a two-thirds-pot bet with another player still to act. Being out of position further limits our ability to realize equity.

6-2 offsuit has no pair, no flush draw, and no straight draw on 9s-3s-Qh, so calling a flop bet is -EV.

Pocket queens are a premium hand three-handed. Raising to 2.5 big blinds builds a pot in position while keeping weaker hands in the opponents' continuing ranges.

86 offsuit is too weak to call a button raise from the small blind, so I fold.

T5 offsuit is weak, but the button's 2.5x open is wide in 3-handed play and I get 400 to 150 (about 2.7:1) with a hand that has some playability, so I call.}

Ten-high on a 3-3-K board has little showdown value and is out of position against the preflop raiser, who has a strong range advantage on the king. Checking is the safest option.

A small continuation bet leverages my range advantage on this paired king-high board. It can get calls from lower pairs and some ace-high hands while denying equity to overcards.

Ten-high with no pair or draw on a 3-3-K board is weak. The button's small c-bet range is wide, but calling 175 into 725 would leave me chasing on later streets with few outs, so I fold.

Jack-ten offsuit is a solid button open in three-handed play, so I raise to 3bb to take the initiative and fold out weaker hands.

K6 offsuit is weak out of position in the small blind facing a button raise to 3bb with the big blind still to act behind. Calling 250 more is not profitable, so I fold.

KQo is strong against a button opening range and blocks several premium hands. A four-times three-bet pressures weaker holdings and compensates for playing out of position.

JTo is dominated too often by a 4x BB 3-bet; calling 900 into 1550 needs more equity than this hand has against a strong range, so I fold.

K4 suited on the button in a 3-handed game is a solid raising hand; a 3x open applies pressure on the blinds and gives position and fold equity.

72 offsuit is too weak to defend against a 3bb raise from the small blind, especially with the big blind still to act. Folding avoids investing more with poor equity and playability out of position.

J9 offsuit is too weak to continue out of position against a 3x button open; pot odds do not compensate for domination and poor playability.

87 offsuit is a reasonable button open three-handed. A small raise pressures the blinds while keeping the investment modest, with position and some straight potential if called.

Q9 offsuit is too weak to continue out of position against a button open, so folding is the highest-EV option.

5-2 offsuit is the worst starting hand. Calling 125 to win 375 gives about 2.4:1 odds, but I would be out of position with poor equity and a hard hand to play after the flop, so folding is better.

Pocket sixes is a solid button open. A small raise to 2.5bb builds the pot and can take it down preflop or see a flop in position.

Q9s from the small blind facing a button open with the big blind still to act is marginal and out of position in a 3-way pot. Calling 200 more is unprofitable enough that folding is the safer choice.

85 offsuit is too weak to defend profitably against a 2.5bb button raise out of position. Its poor equity realization and lack of useful blockers favor folding over calling or bluff-raising.
