Hold'em table

K5o is a marginal but playable button hand in 3-handed; raising applies pressure and takes initiative with position.

Q4 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

A2o plays poorly out of position against a 2.5bb button open with significant reverse implied odds, making it a clear fold.

A6 offsuit is strong enough to open on the button in a three-handed game. Raising to 2.5 big blinds puts pressure on the blinds while keeping the pot manageable.

KJo has strong equity against a wide button opening range in 3-handed play; 3-betting allows us to seize the initiative out of position.

I have 85o in the big blind facing a button raise and a sizable small-blind three-bet. This hand is too weak to continue for 800 more chips out of position.

A6 offsuit is frequently dominated by a small-blind three-bet range, and calling the large raise is unlikely to be profitable.

T6o is too weak to open raise profitably from the button even in 3-handed play.

Q9o is a reasonable heads-up raising hand; raising applies pressure and we have position postflop.

Getting 3:1 against a small-blind min-raise, I can defend 9-6 offsuit and play the rest of the hand in position.

Ace-high flop favors the preflop raiser, and a half-pot continuation bet can fold out the big blind's missed hands while protecting my range.

With no pair or immediate draw on an ace-high flop, 9-6 offsuit is too weak to continue against the bet.

With 76o on the button in a 3-handed game, raising applies pressure and can take down the blinds or gain initiative. A 3x raise is a standard sizing that keeps my range balanced.

A2 offsuit is easily dominated by a button raising range, and calling from the small blind would leave me out of position with the big blind still to act.

Q9o is too weak to defend out of position against a 3bb open from the button.

Q8 offsuit is strong enough to open on the button three-handed, and a 2.5 big-blind raise puts pressure on the blinds.

Folding 98 offsuit from the small blind against a button open is standard due to poor postflop playability out of position.

With 2d6c in the big blind facing a button raise, this is a clear fold: the hand has very poor equity and playability out of position.

Opening Kd 5d on the button in 3-handed play is standard for steal equity and post-flop playability.

T6s is too weak to call a button raise from the small blind with the big blind still to act, and playing it out of position would be unprofitable.

The button's 2.5-big-blind raise gives me a reasonable price to defend the big blind with a suited hand, though it is a marginal call.

With middle pair and a weak kicker on an ace-high flop, I prefer to check rather than build the pot out of position.

C-betting small on an Ace-high board that favors the preflop raiser's range to apply pressure and deny equity to BB's unimproved holdings.

The small flop bet gives favorable pot odds to continue with middle pair. Raising would risk too much with a weak kicker.

My sevens have some showdown value, but betting this paired-ace turn would mostly get called by stronger hands. I’ll check and reassess if the button bets.

The board pairs the Ace on the turn; checking back controls the pot size and allows us to realize any river equity or consider a delayed bluff on the river.

My sevens have showdown value, but the river club and jack make a value bet unlikely to be called by enough worse hands.

I lack a club blocker on a river that completes the flush, and BB could easily be trapping or holding a pair/flush, so taking a showdown with King-high is cleaner than bluffing without blockers.
