Q6o is too weak to open from the button even in 3-handed play.

J8 offsuit is strong enough to open against the big blind after the button folds. Raising gives me a chance to win the pot preflop.

5s8d is a weak offsuit hand. Facing a 3x raise from the small blind, calling 200 more out of position with a poor hand is not profitable, so I fold.

Seven-three offsuit is too weak to open profitably from the button against two opponents.

6-8 offsuit in the small blind, heads-up against the big blind, needs only 50 more to call for a pot of 200. That's a good price and the hand has reasonable playability, so I'll complete rather than fold or bloat the pot.

Check our option with A4o in the big blind to see a free flop in position against the small blind's limp.

Bottom pair (sixes) with a backdoor straight draw on J-T-6 heads-up out of position; a small min-bet gets value from worse pairs and draws and denies equity cheaply, with only two players in a 200 pot.

I have no made hand or meaningful draw on a coordinated J-T-6 flop, so folding to the bet is standard.

A8 offsuit on the button in a 3-handed game is a solid open. Raising to 3bb puts pressure on both blinds and gives me position.

4s 2s is too weak to defend out of position against a 3bb button open. Folding is standard.

J4 offsuit is too weak to defend out of position against a three-big-blind raise.

J9s is a standard open from the button in 3-handed play to take initiative with good playability in position.

4-3 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

A7 offsuit in the big blind against a 2.5x button open in a 3-handed game is a clear defend. The price is only 150 to win a 400 pot, and the ace has good playability, so calling is better than folding or bloating the pot out of position.

Heads-up in position-less spot as BB, I have ace-high with a gutshot (need a 6 for 6-7-8-9 or 10 for 7-8-9-10... actually 7-8-9 gives open-ended draw with 6 or T) plus an overcard ace and backdoor heart. A half-pot bet builds the pot and gains fold equity with a strong semi-bluff hand.

Flopped top pair with a good kicker and backdoor flush potential in position; calling the donk bet is standard to keep their range wide.

Ah7c on 9s8d3h2s gives me a gutshot straight draw (needs a 6 for 6-7-8-9... actually 5-6 needed) plus an ace-high overcard. I bet about half pot as a semi-bluff after betting the flop and being called, with some equity to improve. I'm out of position and heads-up against the button's calling range. .

We hold top pair with a decent kicker in position. The turn deuce is a blank, and we are getting good pot odds against opponent's donk-barrel range.

I have a pair of sevens with an ace kicker on a 9-8-3-2-7 board. That is a modest showdown hand, but I've bet the flop and turn and the opponent called both, so they likely hold a pair or a draw that missed. A river bet of about 40% of the pot should get worse hands to call and can push out some better ones.

Opponent led all three streets into the preflop raiser. With the rainbow flop, most natural semi-bluffs were straight draws like JT and 65 which completed on the river, making top pair with a jack kicker insufficient against this range.

J9 offsuit is strong enough to open on the button three-handed. Raising to 250 applies pressure while preserving position postflop.

97s out of position from the small blind facing a button raise to 250, with the big blind still to act behind me, is a marginal hand. Calling 200 more risks getting squeezed and playing out of position, so I fold.

Holding premium AsKs in the big blind against a button open, raising to 1000 to build the pot with a significant equity advantage.

J9 offsuit is too weak to continue against a large preflop reraise, even with position.

J2 suited is a weak hand out of position postflop against two opponents; folding on the button is the disciplined play, though a call is not far off given the price of 100 to win 150.

32o is the weakest starting hand in Texas Hold'em and cannot be played profitably out of position, even blind vs blind.
