Hold'em table

Ace-high on the button in a 3-handed game is well ahead of blind ranges, so I open-raise for value and to take initiative in position.

Ace-king is a strong value three-bet against a button open. Raising to 1100 compensates for being out of position and discourages the big blind from entering cheaply.

6-5 offsuit is too weak to call a large 3-bet, especially with the original raiser still to act.

A4 offsuit is dominated by a large small-blind 3-bet range and lacks the equity to call 850, so folding preserves stack.

AJo is a strong button opening hand three-handed. Raising to 2.5 big blinds builds value against weaker hands and pressures the blinds while preserving positional advantage.

T4 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

3-8 offsuit is very weak facing a button raise; calling 150 from the big blind would be unprofitable out of position.

8-2 offsuit is too weak to open profitably from the button against two blinds.

K7o is well ahead of a big blind's heads-up range after the button fold; raising builds value and adds fold equity despite being out of position postflop.

Five-four offsuit is a weak defend against a 3× raise, even with position. Its limited equity realization makes folding preferable to paying another 200 chips.

8-4 offsuit is a very weak hand even on the button; calling 100 chips preflop has negative expectation against two opponents.

Completing the small blind costs only 50 chips into a 150-chip pot. J4 offsuit is marginal but playable heads-up at this price, without building a large pot out of position.

With a weak offsuit hand and a free option in the big blind, I’ll see the flop without building the pot.

J-high has limited equity and only backdoor straight potential on this paired, two-diamond flop. Checking keeps the pot small out of position without investing in a weak bluff.

A small bet in position can win the pot after the small blind checks. My hand has little showdown value, so taking a low-cost stab is preferable to checking.

Jack-high has no direct straight or flush draw, and pairing the jack may still leave me behind. Facing a half-pot bet out of position, folding is preferable to a low-equity call or speculative bluff.

Q4 suited is strong enough to open on the button three-handed, with position and flush potential. Raising to 250 can win the blinds while keeping the investment modest.

K7 suited can profitably mix in a three-bet against a button open, using the king blocker and taking the initiative rather than calling out of position.

2-4 offsuit is a very weak hand facing a button raise and a small blind 3-bet to 900; calling 800 would be unprofitable.

Q4 suited is too weak to defend against this sizable small-blind three-bet, even with position. Its poor kicker and limited playability make folding preferable to calling or four-bet bluffing.

On the button three-handed, a small open gives Q3 offsuit a chance to win the blinds while keeping the investment modest.

Ts3s is a weak suited hand out of position facing a button raise with the big blind still to act; calling 150 is not profitable.

Nine-deuce offsuit is too weak to defend profitably against the button raise, even with favorable pot odds. Playing out of position with poor connectivity and little high-card strength makes folding preferable.
