Hold'em table

Ten-eight offsuit is slightly too weak to open profitably from the button in 3-handed play.

Button folded, so it is heads-up and completing for 50 more with J8o is cheap; I will evaluate on the flop rather than bloat the pot out of position.

Q8o is well ahead of a small blind limping range, so an iso-raise to 4bb from the big blind plays for value with position and can take the pot right away.

J8o is too weak to continue against a big blind raise, especially out of position with only 300 more to call and poor implied odds.

Three-handed on the button, raising with an ace-high hand applies pressure and takes initiative; I can fold to further aggression.

JTo from the small blind against a 2.5x button open, with the big blind still behind, plays poorly out of position. Flatting invites squeezes, and 3-betting isn't profitable with this hand, so folding is the disciplined choice.

Defend the big blind with 98 suited getting attractive pot odds against a button open.

Check out of position with complete air on an ace-high board that favors the preflop raiser's range.

I have top pair on a draw-heavy board and position; betting charges flush draws and gets value from weaker aces or jacks.

I missed the flop completely with nine-high and have no equity or backdoor draws against the button's c-bet.

Three-handed, the button opens wide, and K3o is a reasonable steal against two blinds. A 2.5bb open applies pressure without risking much.

Fold offsuit Broadway hand out of position facing a button open and big blind left to act.

63o is too weak to defend out of position against a button raise, even with decent pot odds.

T8o is marginally below the standard opening threshold on the button in 3-handed play, making fold a disciplined play.

AJo is a strong blind-vs-blind hand after the button folds, so I raise for value and to take initiative rather than limp.

Blind vs blind, I need about 33% equity, and I will be in position against a wide SB range, so defending T3o is marginally profitable.

I flopped top pair with a strong ace kicker on a somewhat draw-heavy board. Checking here keeps the pot controlled and lets me see a free turn, while also disguising my hand strength against the big blind who called my preflop raise.

The preflop raiser checked to me out of position on a coordinated board. A small stab with ten-high and backdoor straight equity should take the pot down often enough to be profitable.

I have top pair with top kicker on a draw-heavy board. Raising for value and protection against flush and straight draws.

T3 offsuit has no pair and no real draw here, only backdoor potential. Folding to the check-raise is correct; calling 400 into 1400 needs equity this hand doesn't have.

J4o is a weak offsuit hand from the button, and calling 100 into a 150 pot with poor playability is not profitable. Folding avoids unnecessary risk this early.

A7o is a strong hand blind-vs-blind with the button folded, so I'm raising for value and initiative rather than limping out of position.

Holding A8o in position against a Small Blind open, calling 200 chips getting 2:1 immediate pot odds is profitable.

This dry T-5-2 board favors my preflop raising range, so a small one-third-pot c-bet with ace-high, overcard equity and a gutshot wheel draw (needs a 3 for A-2-3-4-5) works well against the BB's capped calling range.

Facing a flop continuation bet out of position with no pair and no backdoor flush draw, Ace-high is too weak to continue profitably.

J2 offsuit is too weak to open from the button in a 3-handed game with two blinds left to act, so folding is the disciplined play.

Holding 94o out of position in the small blind, this hand is too weak to complete or raise against the big blind.
